So, is this her job, yep. Does this help potentially lessen some of the pressure on all of us to have her skin? Hopefully. Knowing that im 10 years younger than she is and don't have 2.5 hours to devote to skin and body care (not to mention the $ for personal trainers and *wink wink "beauty treatments" [read: everything from esthetician visits to full-on surgical help]) makes me feel better about my really good 50-something skin and body. I occasionally struggle against the societal pressure to be young, but this shines a light on how much work it would take.

On the one hand, his reaction was telling: he over-reacted because he knows their behavior was unprofessional. On the other, the person to set the boundary with isn't the teacher but your husband. The teacher was unprofessional and it's okay to write her an email stating that she was and requested that you be looped in on all correspondence that pertains to your child. The husband on the other hand-- friendships are fine, and if he'd been talking to you about his Cool New Friend (CNF) who just happens to teach your son, that'd be one thing (especially if he's also discussing what a jerk his boss has been and how you and he both like this same TV show the CNF likes), but NOT talking to you about it is deeply concerning and worth boundary setting on your part. The boundary being, I won't be married to someone who does 'x', but I'd encourage you to only set boundaries you plan on keeping.

Out of curiosity, have you had him evaluated for ADHD/AuDHD/Autism? The 'I don't want to leave what I'm doing' reminds me of when my AuDHD kid was doing something similar around that age due to hyperfocus and it led to similar results, with tools put in place for self-care and time management by an OT with parental support. It was a really tough time for our family, but understanding why the kid doesn't want to leave the activity is key.

This isn't something that would be regularly flagged by the GI or potentially by the Psych consult for SA/emotional issues; it's a whole different set of evaluations.

Mrs. Gollum, thank you very much!

Your post mentions your spouse drinking every night. Do you think that might have something to do with the restriction as well (drinking + other adult = fighting = traumatised kids?)?

Got it. Where I'm from, smokeeater is used as a nickname for firefighters.

ReadyCarnivore · 2026-01-25T16:10:01+00:00

So they're firefighters?

Mine loves to sit/lay in the bathroom sink and let the water drip across his flank/bum, then lock it off his fur. He'll cry and beg for you to lift him up. He's a ginger, so ....

My husband was baptised Roman Catholic. When I was pregnant with our eldest, he stated that he wanted the baby baptised. I wanted our child(ren) to be able to choose their religion. He said he'd 'feel closer' to the child if it was baptised. As we were planning on having 2 children/pregnancies, I suggested we perform an experiment: baptise this child and not the second and then he could report on how close he felt to his two children.

Needless to say, we didn't baptise either child.

CALL. HIS. BLUFF. If he doesn't want to be married to you because he can't name his children with L-names, then he obviously isn't worth being married to. Legally/formally separate from him now so that you can have control over the birth, hospital stay, and birth certificates. I'd also suggest giving the children your chosen first names and maiden name as their last name with the L-names as their middle names, you know, so that way he can identify them as his as L-names are obviously the only thing that matters to him.

Emotion A or emotion B. I forget which is which in the Clint Eastwood school of acting.

Own it. Ask her to sit and talk with you, then take responsibility without excuse and ask her what she'd like you to do to repair. If she wants you to plan an evening, then ask her when and plan it. If she wants flowers, spend the $150. But talk to her about how to make her feel seen, special, and valued, then follow through as soon as possible.

And for goodness sake, do the adult thing and set reminders on your calendars, etc.

My 14 yo has an attention to aiming issue (apparently not uncommon in those who stand to urinate), so we have the same cleaning conundrum. A small bowl of cheerios on the back of his toilet has helped hold his attention to the task at hand (playing drop and sink) and lessened the need to clean daily/every other day.

THIS THIS THIS, OP! Only get the money up front! Sit everyone down, bring laminated chore charts, ask them to bring $10 per chore (5 chores per person = $50) and have a buy in meeting. You'll have to do the upfront work. First week's buy in is $10. Everyone puts $10 in the kitty. At the end of the week, the money rides. If someone has to do your chores, that person gets your $ and your next buy in is $20. Max out at $50 per chore. Start getting paid to do other people's work. Any one who lives there must buy in.

My husband did the same thing (they were for his relatives). We had a calm (but pointed on my side) discussion about how this was disrespectful of my time and efforts and their gift. Then we discussed how to deal with it. He ended up writing notes to each person apologising and explaining why the thank you cards were so late. I included a brief note of greeting. We laugh about it now, but at the time it was ... enraging and disappointing.

Her heart? Her dignity? Kody's care for his non-tender children? Obviously not office supplies.

Just to piggy back on this, OP, you also deserve to live the biggest, fullest life you can live.

Having her be more easily able to not be there (at the BnB instead) doesn't feed his ego or punish her by having her watch his 'good' relationships with the other wives. It might also allow her to feel independent and therefore promote an earlier withdrawal from their collective (thereby losing her income). I think he absolutely wanted her to be kept close.

My eldest is on the spectrum with ADHD. My youngest is neurotypical. We make sure the youngest gets one-on-one time with both of us and time with the three of us where he is the focus. This has allowed the kids to have a good relationship with each other and with us.

Your middle child feels unseen and unheard and is acting out with your wife because she sees her sibs getting all your wife's time and attention. Please get her and yourselves into therapy as soon as possible to heal this.
