My not posting does not mean I am inactive. I have a lot on.my plate and I am getting through it.
Yesterday at lunch I had the choice of eating at home with W for lunch or a room full of strangers. I choose the strangers. And it went well. I was out of my comfort zone but happy to have gone.
I am working on a lot of stuff. I intend to journal more often. I think I may need some guidance but even just being here has helped me.
I have not mentioned my W here yet, so here:goes:
Last night she had a meeting. She came hone and gave out about how it was prepared, about who was there and after loads of other issues, about the woman next to her who spent her whole time criticising. Apparently such negative criticing people are hard to put up with!!!! I validated without the truth dart.
Today my boys were a handful. This is something I am. Working on and will.surely talk more here about parenting going forward. I am.educating myself and have some work to do. It is a work in progress.
Before carrying on I will emphasize that my W is a great mother and deals more with boys than me, mainly due to her working hours, but also she is very motherly.Anywaytoday we brought the boys to a new play area beside their school. There were a few others around including a parent we know. Anyway W lost it with my stons who acted up. The boys merited a reaction but she reacted mire about how she felt than how they acted IMO.
I will restate that for the mostpart W is great mother and handles such situations with great tact and technique, at times she overloads.
I will talk about me soon. I just wanted to take advantage of a chance to journal.
Best wishes
