I decided to tell my wife that if she wanted to have her little Thanksgiving dinner with SS and SD that was fine, but I wanted to take the other kids to my Grandparents' house for the day, so I could see the relatives that I don't ever get a chance to see. She was upset, but with the way that my SS has been acting lately, I can't even stand the thought of being around him. Even on Thanksgiving morning he was a little asshole!! I did feel bad because I would have loved to have taken my SD with me to my grandparents' house too, but I knew that would be pushing it. So anyway, my wife stayed home and had her little thing, and I got to spend the day with my 5 kids. It was just so peaceful...yes, peaceful even with 5 kids. It proved to me that the one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch so to speak. Anyway, just wanted to tell you all that Thanksgiving was wonderful for me because I didn't have to be around the little jerk, and I think that maybe I'll start doing things like this from now on. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and got to spend time with your families. Take care and God bless!!
