Day 3 of 10
Okay so like I said in my last blog, we get my two SS 13 & 17 for ten days bc BM is on vacation. Really kinda HATE this whole arrangement. Friday wasn't too bad, we took the skids out to dinner for their b-day. SS 17 was in a foul mood didn't talk much. Then on Sat my DH went to work and I was stuck here with the skids. I thought SS17 would go out with his friends but he bummed here for most of the day. SS13 played his video games extremly loud all day didn't say much to me. Then DH gets home and dosent feel like going out... So I just sat home all fricken day and night. Sunday we took SS13 to some museam that was SO boring. Now I'm just sitting around watching more tv. This has been the most boring weekend ever. Just found out that next week I get to pick up SS13 from my mother inlaws 2 of the days. I love her and she is really nice but she won't stop talking. I will be there for at least 1 hour, just to pick up SS13. Ugh. So not what I want to be doing after work. Then I have to make SS13 dinner while my DH is at work. I fucking hate this so much. I like to unwind after work not cater to a child that is not even mine. I think my DH should just pick him up after HE gets out of work. Who cares if it's later it's his kid. I don't even want to suggest that bc it just sounds bitchy and totally unhelpful, plus I go right by my MIL house on the way home anyway.. I'm just feeling winey and need to vent. Well anyway next week should be interesting that's for sure!

Pick him up but don't get out
Pick him up but don't get out of the car.....just pull up in front and honk and make him come out...take him home, drop him off and go do what you like or go in your room and chill. If you have to make him dinner make something quick and easy...or tell him to make something quick and easy. My SD13 would much love it if I just told her there were some pizza roles (or whatever) in the fridge she can heat up and have some fruit or something. I wouldnt do that all the time...but if its been a rough week and your feeling cranky then why antagonize yourself. Do the minimal while still doing what needs to be done. Good luck next week!
Thanx mamabecky- your right.
Thanx mamabecky- your right. Sometimes I feel like if I don't give everyone my best ( DH, MIL, Skids.. Ect) then I'm being rude or not fair to them but I'm thinking your right, whatever I gotta do to just get thru the week is what counts! Thanks for the good luck wishes- I'll take all I can get!! LOL

I used to do like Dabevans,
I used to do like Dabevans, instead of calling it DIY, we called it a 'Fend For Yourself' night. My kids still tease me about those but they totally understood the need for those too. The freezer was always well stocked and some of their favorites were corn dogs, hot pockets and most of the stuff Starfish mentions. Our FFY dinners were usually on a day I would come home exhausted but not too exhausted to go out in the evening and did }:) My kids tell me how they liked those FFY dinners because all the other nights I would cook and since I was, and still am, one who likes to try new recipes- well, need I say anything more?
My mom and dad called it
My mom and dad called it Catch as Catch can.
In regards to the OP, why are you doing so much. You need to maybe disengage more and force your DH to step up. Sounds like the hell I was in, before I started stepping back and making him be responsible for his kids child care.
