Long discussion short...would/do you *allow*, for lack of a better word, your husband to go out on the weekends w/HIS 20-something year old son and hang out at sports bars and the like?

I have a friend whose husband goes to these places at least 2-3 times a week after work to *relax* after a *stressful day at work*!!! Meanwhile, she is at home working (MTing)...with 2 young children...yet she has to stay at home while he's out drinking and who knows what else! This just infuriates me to no end, even though it's not my husband or really even my business...I probably wouldn't even know about it, but for the fact that this guy asks my husband to accompany him when he goes.. (they work together; my husband is his boss)...

I just want to know if this bothers anyone else as much as it does me...and I KNOW IT AINT NONE OF MY BUSINESS, I haven't ever brought it up to the friend...I just get angry when my husband tells me this...

Same goes for the ridiculous whining from marrieds and cohabitators...hahaha
It is just as "oh please" to hear marrieds and those with live-ins complain about all they have to "put up with". Same logic applies there -- they asked for their situation as well.

I personally think that parents deserve a little extra appreciation, period.

I have a softer opinion toward single parents as I have been one and I can honestly say that of all the married women I know, I have never seen one marriage that I would give up my lifestyle now for theirs.

So, I suppose we should ALL stop complaining about our own personal lives! We each and every made the decisions that got us here and we make the choice to stay!!

So, in trying to be fair, I'll not do any more extra cheerleading for single parents as long as I don't have to hear the same whine song from marrieds/cohabitators!
