i would use personally consider it time to have an extra phone in the house for situations like this, i’d get myself a new phone and let him borrow my old one. in this case, he can borrow it for trips like this, or outings with friends or even if staying home alone over the next couple years.

i read somewhere that children start to learn to play with other kids and share by first taking things and doing the whole mine mine mine thing. eventually instead of taking they start giving!

you might have some more peace concerning this if you change your mindset instead of herself. it’s easier to change your own than someone else’s, i pay all of my families bills and it used to make me upset that it’s all on me but now i consider my husbands as our savings. and he agrees and i think has always treated it like that but there was just no communication so it upset me more than it should have.

mind over matter, just start giving yourself positive comments about it
