How did that thinking get into the equasion? It's like yard work and home maintenance. If he doesn' do it and you do, then you get all the equity when the house is sold. Unless, he's willing to call and pay for a repairman. But, to leave something unfixed just creates problems. Children have a right to irritate BOTH parents. It's that simple.SharleneThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180247939829055069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-55550594206330001312012-08-06T16:31:34.489-06:002012-08-06T16:31:34.489-06:00For some reason I always felt like when my ex was ...For some reason I always felt like when my ex was watching the kids he was just babysitting.

I always tell people,"When it's your niece or your nephew or the neighbors kids you are babysitting but when it's your children it's not babysitting,it's called parenting!" Of course for someone like Michelle Duggar it's easier because they moment she gets knocked up again the one that's still nursing gets passed off to the older siblings.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216492263637862465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-55547418145565498742012-08-02T11:04:45.214-06:002012-08-02T11:04:45.214-06:00That drives me nuts as well.

I say my husband stayed home with her or is watching her.<br /><br />Although, in the Duggar world it is the women who take care of the kids while the men do manly stuff. So I guess for Jim Bob to agree to watch the kids is a big deal. I used to watch that show all the time until I couldn't take it anymore, and they started to bug me.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959492917608331562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-69787209072939855432012-08-02T10:14:15.497-06:002012-08-02T10:14:15.497-06:00For reals!
