 | I don't take offense to the "harsh words" necessarily, everything said was true, it's just not that black and white. Once again this week I'm seeing myself get more and more stressed as the weekend approaches. My husb knows somewhat how I feel, I'm surprised he doesn't bring it up more. I'm out on my own little limb b/c I don't really care for kids for the most part. Everyone is very flowery and sensitive and "think of the child" but I'm not wired that way. In my head that makes sense but emotions get the better of me. It's like I get all tense and in a bad mood and can't figure out why, then I think, oh it's b/c she's coming. It doesn't seem fair that we have EVERY weekend. I was going to bring up some type of different schedule, but am afraid that will cause trouble! I'd even take her to school on our days!! There does seem to be a lot of guilt, he yells at her but she has quickly learned yelling won't be backed up by anything, so she mocks him and cries and does other manipulative things! I don't know much about child rearing but I don't think you should let your kid say "blah blah blah" when you're telling them to do something?? Can this ever work? Is it worth it?? I guess these are only questions I can answer for myself, I just wish it was more clear! |
