DH on a business trip for a week. ..I'm home with 3 kids- 1 sick, one is a brat and one is whiny all day and night. I feel justified in abandoning them all when DH gets back!!!!

DD has been dating a drug addict for awhile. She herself used to be an alcoholic, but has been sober for a year. Her boyfriend has had periods of sobriety. What she doesn't understand is our dislike for the things he has done to her. I finally asked her, "Do you want us to love him or hate him?" He's supposed to go to rehab today. I pray he gets help for his addiction. But I still have feelings of ill will towards him and I told DD this. He has alot to prove to DH & I. She's our little girl even though she's an adult. Maybe if she ever has a child, she will realize how we feel. It's hard.

I am just depressed got into a huge fight last night with DH over sex.. i just dont want it I am 3 mo Post baby I feel awful about my body and have 0 sex drive help ladies what to do ? I am fearing that he is going to one day get fed up with me

I don't even know why dh and I should even care what happens to the inlaws when we decided to move out on our own. They don't treat us with any sort of respect, we pay more than enough for what we use yet still have to ask permission to use or do some things like use the window ac when it is 97 inside. We are supposed to help each other since neither of us can afford a place without government assistance or live in the slums but instead they act like they are doing us a favor.

Had to put down our 10 year old Great Dane. Just as DH was getting ready to drive dog down to vet our son (4) ran out to van yelling 'Wait, wait, I forgot to tell him something,' he opens the van door and says to our dog 'Its going to be OK, I know you are going to make lots of friends wherever you are going and you aren't going to hurt anymore.' Ugh, I tried to keep it together for kids but after that I was a waterfall!

So I send dh to the store with instructions to pick up the mail and some ice cream. He asked what kind. I replied first choice is cookies and cream or chocolate chip or chocolate. He comes home with cookie dough. I give up.

DH and I started working out at the gym but its so hard to find someone to watch DS (9) when we go. He has karate practice Tuesday nights for 1.25 hours and I've suggested that be one of our days and time but DH says its wrong to leave DS. Am I wrong? It seems perfectly normal. As long as we attend all his tournaments, why do we need to sit through every lesson?

A little worried about DH. He was in the hospital last week for a bacterial infection that had to be treated with IV antibiotics. He's much better now, but he's not back to work yet, and I know he's worried about work (he has his own business). He's been a bit down. I'm trying to let him rest and be cheerful, but I am worried that this short illness has taken the wind out of his sails. I love that man.

Whew! I've been pushing DH to get disability insurance for years now. In the midst of the application process, he had to be treated in the hospital for something & I was worried it would affect the premium. I just talked to the agent, and he said it's not a problem, just disclose it and get in the paperwork. Hallelujah. This was causing me anxiety. So so glad to get this done.

We must have had some strong winds last night, as the power line that connects to our house was pulled away from our house, and the line was dropping onto our garage roof. Neighbor's was the same. Called the power company (I'm at work), and when they came to check, DH was told that it wasn't there problem and we have to pay for it to be fixed?!?! I don't think that sounds right, but I can't find anything online stating either way?
