To be honest - it would kill me if he picked helping mom EVERY Saturday instead of putting me first for a fun date. I mean you are a single mom supporting you and the kids - why should he want you to be the one to pony up the time?
My ex husband was like this!!
I did mean to write "why should you be the one to pony up ALL the time" because I do think it should be a team effort - don't want to sound like a princess - but at the same time when a woman is struggling to work and raise kids and a man doesn't have them - well then - the effort for time, especially if he wants more, should be a little more on the give side from him - and most men are more than willing to do that.
But with that said - were you and I married to the same man? OMG. I could write books. My exh would jump through hoops to be with his mom to the detriment of our marriage - still does that to our son and it hurts me to see my son suffer from it.
He never had time for me - except when he needed a sperm receptacle. And all vacations were spent with his family who were rude and intolerable to be with. His mom called for money donations for furniture when we were struggling to live on one income after DS was born.
Never again - that is for sure. The only regret I have is putting up with him in the first place.
Thanks, I'm really trying to "voice" what I want.
His mom called for money donations
I don't know. And we were really struggling at that time and praying we would meet the bills without my salary. I was walking to the grocery store to save gas money and we were eating beans and rice, not steak!
Plus when we did go to visit her and we suggested going out to dinner on our first night there she had to go drinking with their friends instead. And that is after we spent money we didn't have to visit - and her always complaining she didn't get to see us because we lived so far.
I could go on and on! But fortunately I am in a better place now. Much better. I thank God every day for all that I have.
