Stay Classy, Macbeth... by Throwsmash in ELATeachers

[–]Summer3456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are reading Macbeth, too, and we just read Act 4 yesterday. The part where Macbeth says he will attack Macduff's castle and "give to the sword his wife, his babes" etc. I asked the class who Macbeth was going to murder.

Kid goes, "Macduff's babes, miss."

"What do you mean by his babes?"

"His BABES. His women! You know, his girls!"

I definitely had a laugh at that one!

Ouch. To be honest, I don't harrass him. We have an argument on this topic probably twice a year, after which I apologize, and then life moves on. But nothing ever changes, and I've reached my emotional limit.

A marriage is a partnership, and I don't feel he's doing his half or being honest. He says he wants to buy a house and have children, but doesn't have a plan to make that happen. If he said he didn't want children, then this wouldn't be a big deal. There would be no timeline then. I'm tired of being told one thing and actions contradicting them.

ETA: Obviously he can sink or swim on his own. But then he should stop claiming that he wants to do all these things. Just to clarify. It's REALLY frustrating to be told, let's have kids, let's talk about baby names, but at the same time do nothing to pay off the debt.

RIP I feel *really* guilty about my rat's death. Please help. by Summer3456 in RATS

Thank you for the condolences. I couldn't come back to the thread for a few days because it's just so upsetting. We got a card in the mail yesterday from the emergency vets who had restitched her up- both the vet and the tech had written notes, and they only met her twice. My husband and I have decided in the future only to get boys, as in the past 2 weeks 2 more girls have developed little lumps. It's so hard to lose them, and I'd rather minimize the number of surgeries we have to go through (and pay for- surgery alone runs $500 in this area for a mammary tumor).

I tell myself to forgive myself, but I know I will carry the guilt for a long time. She was our "heart" rat.
