Barrybran - A Year On

[Barrybran]

When it rains, it pours. I just got the strangest call from my wife. She called to say that her sister and our babysitter have been badmouthing my wife to other people, allegedly saying she's a bad mother and that she's a slvt. I didn't know how to respond because that doesn't sound like things my babysitter would say. My SIL, oddly, would say things like that. There are reasons behind it but my wife isn't either of those things.

My babysitter was due to look after my kids tomorrow night. I can't afford to give up shifts just because my wife doesn't want our kids around certain people but I also have to respect my wife's wishes. That puts me in a bad spot because I have to find other people to look after the kids and I have to cut my babysitter loose, and take away her income, until we get to the bottom of things. I don't feel that it's fair on my babysitter but there will be hell to pay if I continue with her in the short term.

Two months. Two whole months and I'd be in the new town and only have my wife to deal with. I don't even have to be involved in a story for it to affect me these days. Roll on Wednesday!
