I don't believe you would say things about the kids, complain about and pointing them out in almost every thread, it's just not right. or obviously, is helpful. they are GROWING and telling them they're killing their father or making next embarrassing thread wouldn't really help - no wonder they can behave like this.

DO something and they all need to take care of themselves - you're not some hero of lives, take care of yourself - action speaks louder than words and hope your hubby will realize, do better for his needs and settle in a while soon! good luck.
Gina... what the hell are you trying to say? As usual, you make no sense and are reading things into situations that don't exist. I have PLENTY reason to complain about the kids.... things are happening here that you have NO IDEA about. Lets just say the kids ARE the source of his stress level and this "episode". He readily admitted that to the doctors. As for me pointing things out to the kids.... I don't say anything to them, unless it nice. I'm tripping over myself to be nice and sweet and NOT complain to them about anything they do. I've been working far too much to even be home when they are. Kinda hard to complain to kids you don't see for more than 5 minutes a day. and seriously I would prefer NOT to complain to them because it doesn't get me anywhere and they'll ignore me anyway. I'm simply reporting incidences as told by hubby to me.

We're back from the doctor (obviously) and he's better now than earlier. They did an EKG and everything turned out a-ok. He will be taking a stress test sometime soon... the hospital will call us back with a date and time. He has strict orders to avoid stress and tell the kids whats going to happen from now on. Doctor's orders for him to actually tell the kids NO and mean it.

Donna, its not ME that has to be straight with them.... its hubby and he has to actually stand his ground and not back down like he usually does. I think he's scared enough right now to actually tell them to stop pushing him around like they do. But you know that Everyone thinks he's a big loud-mouthed jerk, but he's really the biggest teddy bear and pushover around. and everyone takes advantage of him.
