Feel like a hypocrite

DH hasn't seen SD in 3 weeks. 2 times it was inconvenient for BM (Week 1 and this one, Week 3) and once we were out of state. It has been so relaxing...
Except that I feel like a complete hypocrite.
We fought so hard to have SD in our lives. Now, a few weeks without her and I am feeling like I'm on vacation.
Sad

Haha I win

So, my mother started in on me about the kitchen argument again today. So, I did what we women do best... I schemed.
After dinner, I went in the kitchen and started doing the dishes. DH came in and asked what I was doing. I said, "The dishes."
DH:"Uh... that's my job."
Me:"Yeah, but you've been slacking on it lately and not getting the dinner dishes done until after work the next day."
DH:"Uh... still my job."
Me:"Tell you what, if you text my mom and tell her to make me get out of the kitchen, I'll leave."
15 minutes of him acting like a baby later

The letter arrived

Sunday before last, I grabbed a pamphlet titled "Single Parents: Daily Grace for the Hardest Job" at church for a friend of mine who is going through a divorce. I couldn't find it after I finished changing the girls' diapers and thought I had just left it somewhere. Oops.

Great... why did I say that?

My mom came over today and started yelling at me that my house was filthy. I had a sink load of dishes to do and was cleaning my carpets (the whole reason she was here!) because BD2 had gone poop while going down the stairs (she's potty training and her potty was downstairs at the time). I told her (again) that DH does the dishes in our house. The kitchen is "his" room, he cooks dinner most of the time and he does the dishes. He doesn't like it when I "invade" his territory. I get it. The kids rooms are "my" rooms. The living room is "my" room.

What do I do now?

DH and I have been blowing up all day about SD. You know that feeling when you know that someone isn't telling you something? I've been waiting to find out what it is with DH.
DH never went to the courts for custody of SD. He sat in the parking lot for 2 hours, but couldn't go in. I asked him why not.

*Wall kick* Just take him out!

They failed. He got through the kitchen and living room and said that they had already failed. SIL started crying and saying he was mean. He told her that the dishes should be done, not piled in both sinks and overflowing onto the counter, the living room should be tidy and bug free, trash should be taken out before the can is over flowing and that food should not be sitting out on the counter (They apparently left a rotisserie chicken out and there were flies on it :sick: ).
