Whatis is ANGRY today! I've actually calmed down now but the frustration was getting to me. We planned to go away for really an overnight family trip. No problem, I was in full agreement. There are numerous attractions to see there (in a short period of time) and W had mentioned a pass you can purchase there. Fine. This morning (she decided not to go to work this morning) 10 minutes before leaving she starts searching online for options. She starts throwing all these choices, you know ..."we could do this but then we can't do this, we can eat here but if we do then there's no sense..." and wants instant decisions. Of course, oldest D says "I don't care" (which pisses W off) and I need time to digest things. So she left angry and I let my frustration show. We had the last few nights to discuss this if necessary but no, she has to spend the evening babbling with OP, and then throw it in my face 10 minutes before going out the door. I think I was pretty good in arranging the pretty much last minute accomidations (at least in my books). I'm not great having things just thrown at me at the last minute and she knows it! She just called to discuss things with me and I was actually starting to feel overwhelmed!!! Self talk here: It's just a lousy overnight trip, get a grip Whatis! So it's all worked out but typical of my W. STuff everything into the last minute and get pissed off when I'm not in full co-operation mode. This is part of the issue in our M, there is no compromise on her part. It's all "do it my way, or I'm pissed off" and "if you can't handle doing it my way then YOU must have a problem". This is what ticks me off but at least she did call and we worked out the arrangement together. Why does she want to constantly create these stupid situations? Then I usually get left with trying to put something together out of this, at least this time she didn't just leave it to me to figure out. With OP she does no planning, she says "that's not my job". So, it's up to OP to plan things and please her with her choices. Wow, I do know that feeling, it's stressful and sucks! So, today I spend the day fighting with D12 to get her off the computer. I've banned her for the rest of the day. I suggested we go to a movie today but she doesn't want to. W was not impressed with D's response to my suggestion either (nor was I). The kid just wants to sit around staring at the screen all day. God, I hope we all live through this overnight trip
