Such Crap January 29, 2006

This was an odd day. The boys and I watched a movie this am and I cooked bacon. Jim got up and ate some and disappeared again. He said he wasn't feeling well. I went in his room and asked what was wrong. He was on the computer. Then he followed me and asked what I wanted him to fix for dinner. I said nothing, I was cooking a roast for dinner. He got really nasty for some reason and snapped at me. I told him there was no reason for that kind of response & he said I treated him like crap yesterday. I guess that was supposed to explain it. Well, I went in & had words with him. He said I was no longer going to treat him like crap, that I needed to "know my place". That he'd allowed me to walk all over him for too long. Waaah. Well, that is bull. He said I had no respect for him and I agreed.

I am sorry, but a man that chooses to waste his life and barely spend any with his kids when he doesn't have to work outside this house......And when I do 90% of the work, no his opinion isn't going to equal mine. He checks into our lives when he wants & the rest of the time he is checked out & I told him so. That is crap & then he decided to go on & say he had no respect for me. I told him he couldn't replace me & all I do for my family, cleaning, teaching, etc. That is bull. I told him if he had no respect for me not only do I not need it, but I don't want it! And I walked out.

He reappeared between 3-4 pm. Ate dinner & grabbed me. I don't get him. I don't think he should move in with me and I told him. Why should I let him? So he can keep this up & do nothing to boot? Then he tries to kiss me. He nastily said "You are so perfect" & walks off. No, I am far from it, but I am not going to put up with someone else putting me down, especially in my own home! He is in his cave again.

It really just ticks me off! When I was at the computer he made a snide remark about me sitting on my backside since I made one about him. I told him I can get more done on my backside that he can in a day! I need to just ignore him. I play this back & forth game & I need to walk away.

Turned out Ian got sick about 11 last night as well. Connor was really tired this afternoon & not feeling so well. He seems to have woken up now. I moved Faith & I back in to the room we had. Ian can have his own room again.
