New to This - An English Man In Trouble

[Hadlee58]

Thanks AS, i really needed that reply it was a great pick me up
Feeling alot more positive today as you say its time to pick myself up and bounce back again. I can really see how over the last few weeks i have tried to make everyone happy except for myself, time for that to stop and start concentrating on me for a change. My wife over the weekend mentioned a few things about my parents that have really struck a cord with me, i do think in these last few weeks they have tried to make it all about them and how they have been wronged regarding the kids and pick up duties. The more i think about it i did let them steer me down a path i didnt want to go or would help. With my daughter and her sleeping/clingy issues that she has at the moment i should have backed my wife 110% regarding her desire to batten down the hatches and want to make sure she we picked her up and monitored her for the time being, they have no god given right to pick them up (no one else in our family has made a deal of this) and as much as i know it hurts them they should have seen the bigger picture but to me it seems they were intent on making it a massive deal, disappointing. My wife had had a text from my father saying he wished things were better and they sorely miss seeing the kids, the more i think about this no one has stopped them seeing them they can/and could have come around to our home to see them as often as they like, instead they opted to wait for me to bring the kids to them on Saturday for an hour or so and then complain that they dont see them, puzzling.
This has resulted in a tail spin where their pressure has forced my wife to back away even more, they feel more and more wronged and on it has gone - i as usual just ended up playing piggy in the middle and helping no one least myself, time to 180 this!
I still agree that even without this happening it was a ticking time bomb so i do have some solace in that, like you say there has been many 'mini' BD's along the road and this is another i have to dust myself of and stand tall and proud.

I have my BD anthem song on full blast today, always a great pick me up Rascal Flatts - Changed, if anyone is interested

Thanks AS - H
