Picking up BM's slack - again
Forums:
Ahh, the lazier she gets the more we have to step up to the plate and do her job. Not our weekend but of course DH doesn't want SS9 to miss basketball practice, so how's he gonna get there? you guessed it, us. she lives 3 frickin miles away from the dag on practice and she can't take him. ok, not so bad. then it turns into, we're not only taking him, he's spending the night. we have him and his little sister the 1st three weekends of every month which doens't give us the nice little break a normal every other weekend schedule would give. i wait all MONTH for the 4th wknd to come so i can get my break and now this! i can't take it. this is ridiculous. am i wrong for wanting my 1 weekend a month of freedom?
No, you are not wrong for
No, you are not wrong for wanting it. However, your DH/SO won't see it your way- as wanting private time with him. He will see it as a competition, like you are asking him to choose between caring for his children and caring for you...
I know. We have this problem EOW when the skids are supposed to be gone, but somehow at least one of them always seems to be staying behind. On what I consider "my time..."
Like this weekend. Only one skid left with her last night... and I'm "spoiled" (DH's word) because I want to go out with him ALONE to the hardware store today. (Not my idea of a date- but at least it's out of the house!)
Andy how does that make me "spoiled?" Because I want SS15 to wake up and watch BS 8 for the hour that we would be gone...
