Your feelings are valid (mostly b/c they're your feelings and you have a right to have them, even if he doesn't agree with them!). I'm hoping you and he can have a "come to Jesus" meeting when he returns, one in which you both feel heard.

I think it's because I'm putting myself in your shoes and can't imagine my husband taking off for FOUR DAYS to the freakin' Bahamas and leaving me behind to deal with the stress of the holidays on top of two blue little girls (I don't care how big E is, she's still a "little girl"). I honestly think I would have to murder him. Seriously. <br /><br />Moms can't imagine taking a four day(!!) vacation and just assuming the other adult in the home would take over and all would be well. What in the world?!? <br /><br />ARGH!<br /><br />Should YOU decide YOU need a four day getaway, come on down. You know it's lovely down here. :oP <br /><br />I hope things are more settled now and I'm praying for peace and comfort for you all. This time of year sucks so hard when you are grieving...<br /><br />HUGS and hang in there!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-36920987576169903602013-12-20T12:17:25.964-05:002013-12-20T12:17:25.964-05:00That is so frustrating.

Clearly, he lacks the maturity to have the necessary conversations (and negotiations) that would normally be involved for one's spouse to take so much time (particularly near a holiday) for themselves. I think you have to remind him (if he is willing to communicate at some point about this) that regardless of whether the girls were in the picture or not this would be unacceptable. It seems to me (as a very much outsider) that he uses having the girls in your family as an excuse for his bad behavior. Just because things are stressful and overwhelming (which he seems to ignore is true for you both), doesn't mean that he can just check out of it all and leave you holding the responsibility for everything. Sending you strength and good wishes. I hope you can find some time this weekend to just enjoy the kids (look at lights, watch a movie, eat junk food) and put all the burdens down for a few minutes.

It's not the Bahamas, but you wouldn't have to cook or clean or look after anyone. (I'm so sorry. That's beyond frustrating to be taken for granted like that.)korinthiahttp://the-quiet-corner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879690231462568727.post-12530741376269112282013-12-19T11:33:36.447-05:002013-12-19T11:33:36.447-05:00I usually just lurk here (came from Rachael's ...I usually just lurk here (came from Rachael's blog), but I wanted to let you know you are heard. I wish there was a way to help you other than to let you know I'll be praying for you and your family.
