Do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? I think I'm having one today. It all started last night when Kim and I decided to have a date night since we don't have those very often. We went for dinner and to a movie. Before we left Gigi had asked Kim for some money for dinner. Kim asked what I thought about it and of course I felt how I always feel when they ask for money right as we're leaving. My answer was no. There's plenty of food in the house to make something and it won't be a lot of work. We were going out so why should we have to sacrifice money just because you're too lazy to make yourself dinner?
We left and had a good time. Dinner was great, the movie was great and even the cab ride home was nice. As soon as we walk in the door Cameron asked for some money and of course after spending close to $100 that evening, we didn't want to give away more money. He made a comment that Kim gave Gigi some money so why couldn't he have any. She went behind my back and gave her money. Even after she asked for my opinion and said no she goes and gives her money? I wasn't too happy with things so we went to bed angry, it happened before, not a big deal.
This morning Cameron was being his usual self and demanding money. He's getting some next week for his birthday anyway so Kim didn't want to give him any. Oh a good decision finally!...He said that if we got dinner last night then he should get some money...blah, blah, blah. It pisses me off so much. So I wasn't in the best of moods today. Then because I was in a bad mood that sends Kim off the edge and now she's all depressed and stuff. She barely spent 10 minutes sitting next to me before she had to go and cry in our room.
Why can't we have one night where there's none of that bullshit about if we went out the kids deserve some money? We never fucking go anywhere. We're behind on bills. I'm in collections because we couldn't pay my fucking phone bill and she's just throwing her money away like that. What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to put on a fucking happy face? I'm pissed off about it all.
Somebody help me.

my kids are all grown and I am still sending them money, they want to call me on the phone and tell me they have no money for food etc....mostly one out of the three and this one always lives beyond her means! recently I told her that she should have eaten her seasons pass at a Tahoe resort she just had to go to for a month!
unfortunately, you are in the thick of it and they will eat your arm off if they thought they could get what they want from you....
when my kids were little, I was going through this and finally put my foot down and said they would have to get creative and make some money....and they did! they went through the neighborhood with a wheelbarrow and knocked on doors for recyclable bottles. after a successful week of this, they had scoped out the real serious drinkers and went to their house every week to collect all their beer cans. they kept money in their pocket after that....but the older one, that lives beyond her means was always given money as a child....she expects it now and this is not doing her any good on a small level, but on a large level, she just bought me a farm on Maui, so I guess I will just shut up now and appreciate my children -- try to remember when I was young and know that these types of money problems you and many are having really mess up a romantic relationship.
lucky you, that your partner knows that crying is productive, or at least allowing herself to cry -
i would say be kind to yourself through these hard times and know that it isn't forever. As Credence Clearwater Revival sings "it's a bad moon rising". this full moon is in Scorpio and according to the Mayan calandar, this is a very stressful time across the board. I've been staying home and keeping my wits about me...give it a few days and be kind to yourself and your loved ones in these trying times.
having and raising children is THE most important thing I have ever done, I urge you not to suggest to them that they are a burden bc the kids are going through it too, whether we know it or not. Their stress level has gone up in sync with that of the adults around them. cherish them and the love you all have
blessings
