No way, GGB.

That is one thing he is steadfast on. The world may come and go, but MrH is going to be at 6 a.m. Mass.

I both admire this and find it frustrating. If everything were fine in the R, I'd say More power to ya, H!

Some days it just feels like he will never stop choosing church over me.

But!! I'm not going down that road today. I've had a good day with the girls. Made a splat mat for the baby, did a paint-a-tshirt project with D5, managed to not do bodily harm to D3 (the best I can hope for with her, lol) and had a few nice emails with H.
Can't ask for more than that. Oh yeah, and I have a 10 dollar off coupon for the grocery store tonight. Yee haw.

This is one of those issues that I will have to find a way to accept. He is not changing this. It's been like this for many years--he makes morning Mass happen, no matter what the consequences are. I can either accept it, or leave. He's set his boundary.

All I can do is enforce my boundary. "I will not be turning in at 9:00 so you can get to Mass every day. I will be setting time aside for us after the kids go to bed, and I hope you are willing to join me."
