Anything could be contrived, I guess. I'll be out for a week overseas later this month.
Problem is that she has no problem stuffing the kids full of McDonalds and leaving D12(almost 13) at home with D8(almost 9). They'll play video games all day long if you let them. I just don't like the kids left alone that much and I try to get them to do things other than computer. (She complained that I spent too much time on computer during our M, and now she using it for a babysitter.) The housework will just remain undone.
I'm struggling with boundary vs control. This whole thing with me paying her bills while OM is on just seems so passive. Anyone have a good boundary reference? (book or thread)
