The field trip yesterday was a nightmare. There were no planned activities for the kids, just three hours on a boat that you can explore thoroughly in about 20 minutes. They were bored and cranky and kept trying to wander off b/c they couldn't agree as a group on where they wanted to go and one of my group got seasick. DH reported that SD8 deemed it "stupid & boring" when he picked her up after school. I was long gone - I took off the minute the bus dropped us off to go meet my BFF.
My BFF is getting divorced. Her FXH just e-mailed her his settlement offer. She hasn't called me lately b/c she didn't want to interrupt my blissful happy newlywed life with her tale of woe. I haven't called her b/c she was the maid of honor at my wedding and took me aside right before to say, "Are you sure you want to do this?" and I did it anyway so I just felt...I didn't think she'd say, "I told you so." but I was embarrassed b/c she tried to warn me if that makes sense.
Anyway, we stayed out late and got thoroughly schnockered and told each other our sob stories. It was really good to see her - I wish she didn't live so far away.
DH was pretty sweet to me when I got home. Didn't ask how my BFF was doing b/c he doesn't like her either, so I didn't tell him. This morning, we were cuddled up in bed talking - SD was watching TV at the other end of the house. DH said, "There's something you need to say to me..." He wanted me to THANK him for taking SD to school all week! He said he thought taking SD was worthy of a thank you, I said, "I guess not, b/c you've never thanked me once for taking her and I've been doing it all year." He said he didn't need to thank me b/c it was more inconvenient for him to take her, b/c of the 10 minutes and he needs to drive approx 200 feet out of his way to get to the school which is on the corner across the street from our house.
So, the weekend is here! Looking forward to another lovely one.
Girrllll
You need to either whack that man upside the head with Cruella's frying pan or tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine, pack your bags and leave.
No wonder your BFF asked if you really wanted to do this...
Thank him for what, exactly?
Taking care of his own kid? He needs to thank YOU for marrying him and being willing to participate in HIS raising of HIS kids to the extent that you already have.
My thoughts EXACTLY! AMEN!
My thoughts EXACTLY! AMEN!
That's horrifying
What and ego maniac. Thank him for him taking care of his child. Wow. I don't know what to say, except maybe your BFF saw something you missed when she warned you. I would have kicked him in the sack if he asked me that and I'm not a violent person.
Wow
That is unbelievable. I think you see his whole line of thinking is off. I think your BFF sees that.
