    I know I'm preaching to the choir missus...
    as long as you keep bailing out he will keep on doing whatever he likes...
    if you want to stay afloat and repair the boat then kick his sorry a rs e overboard...
    if he isn't doing anything to help, all he is doing is taking from you and the kids and making it harder and harder to get debt free...

    I'm sorry if I've said too much...
    really angry with your OH :mad::mad::mad: (as no doubt you are too)...

    Whatever you do, I know you will always put your kids first :A

    Don't even think chucking him overboard will fix this one :o Although it looks like he's thinking chucking himself over board apparently the grass will be greener :rotfl:

    I have to laugh :rotfl: ;)

    Well he's staying out tonight.

    The kids are fed and bathed, after a day of playing outside and painting and anything else they requested.

    They are all tucked up in bed smelling lovely and sleeping finally.

    So I've finished my jobs, locked up and going to bed too not that I'll sleep :o but the house feels lovely and clean and I can't miss out on the fresh of the line and ironed bed sheets ;)

    I feel such a failure. Don't iron sheets, towels, tea towels, socks, etc. Still, better than my lovely neighbour who refuses to iron anything if she can get away with it,
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
