It's a RULE. You're only following the rules. Your kids will do the same thing to you. <br /><br />Unless, that is, they live close to you.

But the venting really helped and we did finally manage to drag them out for a walk. **PHEW** Yeah it kills me for sure, but what can you do? Grin and bear it...That which does not kill you (or someone else) makes you stronger (right??)

If they read your blog, you're problem is solved!<br />I get uptight and crazy with extended family visits. I think it's the (tremendous) effort and strain of trying to be nice and upbeat for so long. So not me.<br />Your kids are a great excuse to GET OUT of the house. Just leave with them. Sounds like your mom would understand and who cares if your step-dad does? You need a break from him.<br />You're right. You can't rock the boat re: your relationship with him so do whatever you can to get away for a break.<br />As for the constant cooking - I feel your pain. It would kill me.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34454555.post-19417471688915641222007-01-04T09:51:00.000-05:002007-01-04T09:51:00.000-05:00Wow, that's tough.
