His father has no patience whatsoever with him. With me being gone, it will be ten times as bad for Alex. His nerves will take over and he will snap at Alex and make him cry [sigh]. Poor Alex told me that he would have to stay away from him, but I know my son............he'll just be himself and chatter away and it will irritate my husband and he'll yell at him.

Course he thinks I will be up to no-good while I am gone - all those men, etc. What an idiot! Now that I have a job again, although I haven't started yet let alone gotten paid, he thinks I am an ATM machine again.

All night he was being a complete *******le to me, in front of Alex. I even treated them to McDonalds and put some gasoline in his car.........which I was told was not enough and he just won't take Alex to school.

Then I won't be home for my husband's birthday or mine next month. I get to spend it in a hotel room alone........wonderful.

I had to break up the arguing earlier......over a silly Xbox game where my husband loves to kill off Alex's character. When we play, we don't shoot each other - we work as a team. Not those two.........so Alex gets mad, gets hurt, then cries.

I need a vacation, really badly.
