My... how JUDGMENTAL we all are!
.

try not to be too judgmental-
its easy to say she could leave if she really wanted to but it is often not quite so cut and dried. If you have never been in the situation you can't really know.

In any case, a little compassion and empathy can go a long way.

I know, I'm being judgmental
I have a family member who prides themselves on daily exercise of about a 5-1/2-mile walk, yet has a Handicap tag they hang on their mirror when they shop and parks in the Handicap parking spot. Why does someone who walks this far for exercise need a Handicap parking slip? I wish I could ask them that very question, but I feel such condescension that I'm sure it would be revealed in my tone and immediately offend them. Do I care? Not sure I really do. I guess this is just one of those battles I don't choose to fight. Ten to 15 years from now, it's not going to matter. I just think it's ridiculous that a person walks this far for exercise on a daily basis but can't walk 300 feet or so to a store front door. Good grief!

I don't mean to seem judgmental but
the fact that you have kids and your husband waits until the evening to sleep is really inconsiderate. You need to have a heart-to-heart with him. He's really missing out on the kids' stuff and he's letting you with all the work. Maybe you could compromise -- like spend 1/2 hour with him in the morning when he gets home and then he sleeps until the kids get home and you can all spend the evening together.

Some people can be so judgmental. Think about

I have apologized for appearing judgmental. That's all
I can do.

You shouldn't be so judgmental and nasty
without knowing all the facts. News flash: Life isn't always black and white, cut and dried. Try to put yourself in her shoes and not be so critical because you don't know any of the details of what's going on. Jeesh.
