[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690767, member: 19951"] New Leaf, now there is an idea, a CD retreat!! Leaf- years ago when my kids were in their teens I actually did go a strike. I was just mad, tired of being responsible for everyone, hubby included. He worked lot of hours back then, major over-time, I worked full-time, took care of house, pets, kids, sport activities. He tried to help when he could, but it was on my shoulders. I didn't complain, I just did it, until, I couldn't. I got mad and I just stopped doing. I didn't cook, clean, pack lunches, do laundry etc. I took a break. Yep. I tell you the kids noticed and things changed. They did their own laundry, did dishes, packed their lunches from that day on. It was only a few days break, but it worked like a charm. My Mom in law, wonderful lady, mother, wife, took off to the cabin for a few days. She had 4 kids and had just had enough. It was a break well deserved. Leafy, you need to go on strike. [/QUOTE]
