I hope you're right about that, mom. Sometimes I take their sh*t a little personally. I also get a little nauseated watching how they get under the FP's skin sometimes too.
But, most of the time it's OK, I guess.
The true bottom line on all this is that raising the kids has put as much stress on my relationship with the FP as it can bear. The troubles that have caused us to consider splitting up over the years are almost exclusively related to the kids. That said, the consequences of splitting up a marriage are entirely different with kids in the picture, and thus the irony is the counterbalance of how the kids keep us together as well.
Life is funny, isn't it?!
