[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 448302, member: 3444"] Funny you should mention the food issue CM! The family went out to lunch together today -- it was all I could do to get husband out of bed and downstairs... the lure of food :rofl: We went in separate cars because I wanted to take the kids to go walking around a local downtown area that has lots of neat antique/art/novelty shops. Ended up just difficult child 1 going with me, and long story short, we actually ended up at my mother's house. difficult child 1 is working on a knitting project (yes, I said knitting) -- a scarf he's making for husband that he started a loooong time ago and my mom suggested he get back to work on it. So we spent several hours there visiting while he slowly worked on his rows. Meanwhile I get a text or two from husband asking me to pick up a few things at the grocery store on my way home. Fine, no problem, but I didn't say when I'd be home. We finally head for home around 6:30pm, and I stop at a market to get a few things once we get near home an hour later. By the time I'm heading to the car, husband is texting me: We need food! I'm thinking, are you KIDDING me?! I text back: So cook something! It's not like we don't have any food in the house either. The problem is that when he's in this funk, he cannot think of how to put several items together to make a meal. Sometimes the kids are the same way, but hey, they are kids. He's pushing 50! He ended up solving his problem with some leftover chicken in the fridge and I don't know what else. Looked like he left the other two kids to their own defenses and didn't make anything for them, either. :rolleye: Things are feeling very loose-knit around here lately and I think part of it is his lack of involvement right now. Hopefully this will pass... and if not, he's going to wake up one day and discover his kids are gone and he'll have no idea who I am anymore because he doesn't bother to pay attention. [/QUOTE]
