Off the hook lightly - as usual

So, today my BD13 had a beach volleyball tourney. I tried to discourage the boys (my BS10 and SS12) from going just because I didn't want to deal with the bickering. But, along they came anyway to support their "sister". Never mind the fact that they slept thru most of the matches or were out on the beach in the water during others...but they were there.

SS12 complained and gave me that "F--- You, B-----" look everytime I asked him to put the cooler in the car, carry a chair (that he will sit in), etc. Nothing new...

Freakin....ridiculous....

So, DH has certain rules and chores that are divyed up between the three kids. No problem right? Well, its all great except when my kids dont do their chores with 100% effort, etc. Here's the latest example of his son getting away with half-a$$ing something.... Thursday is trash day, so BS10 has to take our two LARGE trash cans out to the street either Weds night or Thurs morning. SS12 is with his BM on Weds night, so he brings the trash cans back in after school on Thursday evenings.

Thinking seriously about leaving...

I am seriously considering leaving...I start this message off kind of late in the game....there are so many stories to tell that have led me to this point in my relationship. But, the bottom line is that my kids ages 13 and 10 tell me they support me and whatever makes me happy will make them happy. They have actually offered to NOT take an allowance, etc., so I can save money to leave!!!
