Since there seem to be a lot of animal lovers here, I thought someone may have an idea.

Our neighbor has cats. She lets them outside. For some reason, our yard is their preferred bathroom site. They leave presents in our flower bed. The piss in our front bushes to where our front porch reeks. She has about six to eight, and they seem otherwise decently taken care of-nothing I could call the authorities for animal neglect.

So, DH is always, always, always on time with child support. Never been late. He cuts a check and sends it to the TX child support office every month like clockwork. Well, this month he does it same as usual. Except this month when he gets his paycheck, it's missing several hundred dollars.

Apparently the fucking assholes over at TX child support office decided after YEARS that they were going to deduct it from his pay AND never bothered to inform him, so he's paid child support twice this month.

So we have a three year old and a four year old. They have just started the "I don't wanna eat X, Y, and Z" routine.

Well, yesterday I made enchiladas and they refused to eat them so I told them if they didn't eat them, they weren't getting anything else for the rest of the night. DH flipped out at me and told me I was being too harsh on them for how old they were.

Thoughts?

So, after my blog yesterday, I was motivated to call around for marriage counselors, which SO already agreed we should go. In fact, I even had a referral to someone earlier this year, but she had an emergency and couldn't take us.

So I called a bunch of people, spoke with the ones who got back with me, told him about the conversations and their philosophies, offered to share the phone number so he could call them if he had any additional questions or concerns....

And all he says is could he please have a little time to think about it...think about what?
