This is small potatoes isn't it?
Oldest sd (20) is in a correctional facility. She calls DH on our phone and mentions that she's waiting for "mom" to visit her but so far, no show. Dad reassures her "mom" will be there if she promised her that. Then, he decides to call "mom" using his cell, to find out where she is and if she is going. Turns out she's not going and relays message to SD. It's NOT a big deal and I kept it ZIPPED for a change as Fearless suggested to do in some instances...BUT...I want to know why my husband is getting in the middle of this???

"Serenity for Stepmoms" Booklet....
I’d like to put together a booklet for us stepmoms/second, third or fourth wives so we can have a daily thought to carry around with us, when we don't have access to a computer. When we have enough submissions, I’m going to date each page and print up copies for anyone interested. The stories within would acknowledge issues only blended families are faced with. We would offer each other a glimpse of our experience, and provide each other with positive “happy” thoughts and encouragement for our sisters who read it – It’ll be 365 days worth of some type of enlightenment.

Happy day here too..DH is finally getting it!! I'm Calm at Last.
By Golly, I think he's got it!! Dh now does inform me whenever ex calls and guess what?? I haven't flipped even though one time was very unneccesary and I did roll my eyes (but he didn't see me do it.) We are starting to joke about it...I am calm finally! And I really owe it to you gals. Thank you.
DH was defensive & fresh and I'm not happy.
DH is supposed to see ss at his usual time Wed at the ex wifes house to watch TV together...However, this week DH promised me he'd take me somewhere cause I have night blindness. When I suggested that instead of going there WEd night, he pick up ss Thur night and then bring him home to our house for a few days...(no school Fri.)he got all friggin defensive and got in a sour mood. I thought spending a few "days" with his son at our new place would be better than the 1 hour on Wed at his old house but I was informed it wasn't! He said, "It's not the same." That's what they are used to.

Is this important? I don't feel like a "we."
I asked hubby to call his daughter on our behalf to see how a show went that she was in...When he called he got the machine. Instead of telling her "it's dad, and we are calling to see how all went", he kept it in the "I." "I" just wanted to see how you did, call "me" back." Then when she called back...they chat and he said...Okay hon, I'm proud of you. I know it's "his" daughter, but I am so tired of feeling like a nonentity and outsider..I was the one who wanted him to call...Shouldn't he have said "Hi hon,"we" just wanted to say hi.."we're" so proud of you?

Hubby hasn't been weaned from the old house.
Can someone else tell me WHY this disturbs me? And how to ACCEPT it?

Husband only tells half the story! Do YOU need to know all details too?
Hi all. What a helpful forum. I'm writing today because I was hoping someone else could relate and advise. My husband has a terrible habit of telling me a story but forgetting to include incidental details that when I eventually find out, I get irrational about.
