So, the difficult children and me were driving in the car last coming home from Pizza Hut (Friday night dinner!). Somehow the subject of my marriage became the topic of conversation. Son, for the last couple of years, will come up to me and say, Mom, Dad doesnt love you anymore and hes got a girlfriend. He did it again last night in the car.
No, husband doesnt have a girlfriend. Good grief! I keep the man running in circles enough as it is! :princess:
Anyway, my usually response is, Oh yeah, uh huh, thats nice.
However, this time, Daughter asks son, If Mom and Dad divorce, who would you want to live with? Then she answers her own question by saying, I would want to live with Dad. Son agrees with, Oh, yeah, totally.
Now, husband is gone a lot working. So, Im sure the lack of supervision is very appealing to them both. Plus, it is well known that husband is more willing to say yes when either one of them is requesting some gadget, or piece of junk, that they claim that cannot live without. Believe me, I get it.
( I also get the credit card bills, but that's another topic)
So, me, and my snide sense of humor, cant resist and I retort, You mean all I have to do is divorce your Dad and break up the family to get rid of you both?? :devil:
:smile:
Silence.
Then Daughter reconsiders, If I lived with just Dad I wouldnt be able to go on the computer (a major issue at our house with husband wanting to chuck the computer most of the time due to Daughters life revolving around it).
So, I guess Im stuck.
:hammer: :rofl:
