Good morning.

Rdken, Thank You for the prayers, it means a lot, much appreciated and I will do the same for you.

My Anniversary is coming up this weekend September 26. I will be seeing my wife as the boys have baseball games this weekend and I do have them this weekend too.

Two questions:

1. I know I was told not to acknowledge the Anniversary, is that correct?

2. My 6 year is having an issue and seems upset with me not wanting to talk and stay over at my house. I am not sure what is going on, but a couple of weeks ago he didn't come and I told my wife we should just get him in my car and he will be fine in 5 minutes. Well, she didn't agree and started an argument about if he doesn't want to go then he shouldn't have to. Obviously that is a big issue and told her she would be opening up something big. Well in my opinion it is now true. He doesn't want to talk much and seems to distance from me for some reason and we were very close. I'm hurt and confused on what to do and to say. I will be taking my 9 and 2 year olds to Pro Football and basketball Games soon and don't want to leave the 6 year old out.

My Family was very very close and I know my MIL has brain washed my wife. MIL is really doing this for herself...she now has daughter and grand kids living with her.

Wife thinks I should be giving her money. I wrote a check specifically stating it was for the kids snacks,transportation, etc. She had the audacity to ask if I had hundreds in my wallet that I usually do. I guess she couldn't cash it right away since it was Sunday. She goes on and asks if I am going to pass gas money responsibility to her mom. I just laughed and thought to myself this woman is thinking life is a bed of roses and she doesn't have to do anything but sit back and be mommy. If she stayed I would have no problem giving her money now she can go hug mommy and ask her. School and practice isn't far for the boys around 1 mile so a full gas tank should suffice for a month. I will not enable her playing me for a fool!

Please share your opinion.
