Hi all, Sorry for venting but had to tell someone, My wife and I are going through some real financial problems at the minute, she is out of worrk but looking, and her grandparents died 2 years ago around this time of year which shes still upset about. Over the past couple of weeks living with her has been a nightmare, saturday she had a friend coming over so we sprused the house up, and she ended up yelling and shouting at me and her stepson saying she does everything and we do nothing, which isnt true, she constantly makes snyde comments which I dont know if she means to or if she's trying to provoke a reaction which I dont give her. Our arguments consist of her yellin and screaming and me standing there I refuse to get into a shouting match as I dont believe it solves anything. Her stepson refuses to help around the house except when her wants to or wants pocket money, he doesnt have any respect for us constantly telling us to "shut up" and he doesn't like us blad de blah, we have tried discipline i.e. grounded but it just doesn't seem to have any effect whatsover. All this is taking its toll, I feel like im constantly battling with both alex and my wife, last night had yet another argument because alex refused to do his homework aimee (my wife) got stressed flipped then started shouting saying I never do anything to help her and neither does he. it ended in me in the bedroom reading aimee downstairs watching eastenders and alex drawing in his room untill aimee came and talked to me and told me she misses her grandparents and she's not being spoken to like shit. The only times our relationship is good at the moment is when we got to bed where we cuddle up and fall asleep, and when I leave for work. Last night I felt like just sitting em down and saying I really cant hadle the both of you at the minute so im walking, but then I feel guilty, and im not sure if it is the right thing to do. Im just not happy at the moment and dont know which way to turn HELP!!! Craig Dunn
