I'm sad

[themysteriouswife]

Allie flat out does not listen to me. I've done time outs, taken toys away, yelled (not a proud moment), and lectured since I got off the plane. H walks up and tells her word for word what I just said and she listens.

H acted like it was no big deal I was back. I didn't even get a hug or kiss from him until we got home a hour later. He was more interested in A's skydive experience. Each time I tried showing pictures, he said show me later. He didn't even show interest when I did show him. I spent over a hour going over every picture of his 11 day trip.

I am not feeling very appreciated at the moment.

((hugs))

I want to see your pictures! And I am glad you are back.

Honestly, A's behavior sound normal. At her age being apart from a parent for a week can really effect their sense of stability and routine. She may have feeling's she doesn't understand and is acting out to get your attention. Be patient, it will pass soon.

But yeah, your husband is being a jerk. I'm sorry.

[themysteriouswife]

I'm sure you're right. I think she and H are both just in a routine and trying to get back to normal.

H is being scattered brained lately. I think a lot of it has to do with the new house. Our mortgage will be a little higher than rent. I think it is stressing him to the max. Not that this excuses any of his behaviors.

If things still feel blah tomorrow, I'm saying something.

I'm sorry. I hope you can get back into the routine and Allie starts listening to you again. Probably a combo of you being gone and her not in school/normal schedule.

And I hope the mr gets his act together. Buying a house is hell and way more stressful than it needs to be. And I can't imagine building one either. ((Hugs))

How are things today, any better?

[themysteriouswife]

Much better. Allie had one time of not listening. I sternly corrected her and she apologized. I think one time is pretty normal.

H is better too. We had a long talk about the house. I'm pretty sure that's his problem. We've picked almost everything out. We agreed to not change anything. This will make things much smoother.

Great!  I'm glad things are going smoother for you.

So glad things are smoother today.

Yay for improvements all around!
