DW travels every so often for work. During one of our discussions in which DW pointed out yet again that I am not supportive enough of SD15 and SS11, I reminded her that at least I watch kids when she is gone. In her riled-up stste, she pointed out that one time when she travelrd, I came home late (8:00) so I could fish for a couple hours with a friend after work, aIl I had done was to make sure they knew we had macaroni and cheese cups and roast beef from the previous night for them to eat in my absence.

Long story short, I got told by DW, and eventually by skids, that I do nothing for them.cook a bunch of food they don't like (read containing vegetables), and that they basically have no use for me. DW hasapologized, and has told me she had a good talk with skids regarding the fact that they were wrong to say that to me. Kids have never apologized, but whatever. Anyway, DW is currently gone on first of eight nights gone in next month, and I really am not concerned with the food situation. There are some leftovers in the fridge and the makings for soup and sandwiches, so I am leaving it to them. Feels good, but still guilty in a way.
