It's funny what you say about how much happier you are doing the housework when he's not there playing with the kids.
I find now that I'm solely in charge of housework, I resent it far less. I'm not thinking "We're supposed to be partners!!" etc. Now if I pass a toy left out, I just pick it up and move along. When Rob was here I would leave it hoping he'd pick it up, and resent him for not helping out. Childish stuff like that.
Now it doesn't seem like so much work to do it all alone, but when he lived here I was buried under an avalanche of "It's not fair!"s. I am the only option, so I just do it and don't give it a second thought.
And McD's???? I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED to hear of a mother feeding her children such junk!
If only it wasn't so easy. And I think they should outlaw Happy Meal toys. We are sufficiently motivated enough by the convenience... they don't need to ply us with plastic pieces of sh*t!!! I secretly throw then out while the kids sleep.
