Sorry you are in the situation. It's not fair to the kids and that would be my issue.

He has no close friends. He travelled 95% of time for his job for the last 5 yrs but quit that job a year ago and does not travel much at all with this job. His family lives 2 hrs away. He says no to the room.

It is really not fair..but that is life and I have Ben living it since August:(

Hug the kids every day, they will see your strength start to shine through don't worry, that sadness is going to lift.

Thanks so much for the support...I can't bring myself to tell my family yet:(

Right now I pay a third of all house hold bills. And he pays 2/3. He has car payments..which I do not. And he pays more for gas every month. He buys alcohol which I do not. He shops at Costco which I do not. I have budgeted on my own since starting back to work in September. I get 0 pay for the 2 weeks over the holidays and also on march break. I will collect ei over the summer. But I think I will need to find a job too in the summer.

so very sorry Abby.. sounds like a rotten situation to be in.


well we've discovered that although he is an 'adult' he IS still a teenager. and teenagers can STILL be grounded.. he's NOT liking this at all.. but its working. really hoping he's learned his lesson.

Called in sick to work tonight but still in probation period. I hate to do it but been pooping all day.

Going to see the hobbit tonight!

er thanks for the update..

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!

I'm glad to see that I didn't miss your surprise, Dan :)

My christmas was fantastic - the kids got a ton of gifts from family members. We went for dinner to the in-laws. DS's bday is tomorrow... we're gonna celebrate it at in-laws again, becuz MIL is bed-ridden, so I would love for her to participate in his bday as well.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Years (if I don't get to chat with some of u before then :) )

Good night everyone.
If we don't chat again before the new year, here's wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year, see you back here in 2013! :)

Happy New Year everyone!
