SD22 has an almost-two-year old son. SD22 lives with BioDad (although not married). SD22 is "in college" (although out for the summer) and is otherwise a SAHM - Dad works two jobs to support the three of them and pay for her college costs.

So SD22 posts this gem on FB today. (I'm paraphrasing here since some of it was in comments.)

Feeling pissed off! My man expects me to clean the house while I have son to take care of, because he was having friends come over! I spend all day taking care of your child, if you want a clean house CLEAN IT YOURSELF!

Felt bad for SD24

For those of you unaware, I have SD24 (married, no kids), SD22 (not married, has DS1), and SD18 (married, DD 3 months). SD24 has been trying to get pregnant for a couple years now, with no success.

So, apparently all 3 girls went to see their mom on Mother's Day. (All 3 called me as well, which I wasn't remotely expecting! It was nice.) BM's niece was there too, as she's been living with BM - and niece has a DD2. Anyway, their mom posted pictures on FB. Five pictures in all.

Interesting study on joint custody

The article seems to say that kids do better going back and forth between parents a couple times a week. I wish I could see the original study, but the link the article doesn't work! DH had EOWE, and I TOTALLY believe the kids would have been better off spending more time with him. (Not sure *I* would have been better off. They need to do a study on THAT. What is the effect of 50/50 physical custody on second marriages?)

Big drama yesterday

One of my sisters (MSis) sent me a text asking if I'd talked to our youngest sister (YSis). I said no, what's up? MSis called me and told me what she knew. (I'll recap the whole story in a sec.) YSis called me last night and gave me more of the story first hand. Here we go, in semi-chronological order so it might make sense...

OT - I screwed up, but can I blame DH anyway?

Dh and I quit smoking almost 4 months ago. We quit together. This is not the first time we've quit. *sigh* You know where this is going, right?

So I get home from work on Monday, and it was kind of a crap day (just work-related stress) and then the kids were being little monsters and I looked at DH and said, "GOD I want a smoke right now!" Just venting a bit, you know?

And he got the look. That "oh crap I am totally busted, I don't want to actually lie, and I don't want to tell her, what the fuck do I do" look.
