Hi to all my friends..you know who you are.
I have been very busy at work, so have been unable to spend too long typing..
I am also embattled at home:
My daughter (14) has been avoiding school because she cannot complete her work. This has induced agressive behaviour from my wife.
My daughter has decided to blame her predicament on the fact that I return home from work late, so am unable to help her with her homework before either she or I are exhausted. She is struggling with "An Inspector Called" by J.B. Priestly and "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee.
My son (17) also needs attention as he has public exams in January. He tells me that he spoke to me the other night about an international exchange visit, but I do not remember the conversation. I leave the house at 07:45 and return at 20:00 most days. Today, I left at 05:30!
Both offspring have recieved must do better notices in their mid-term reports, which has again induced sullen aggressive behaviours from my wife.
I try to encourage both children to do their best, but my wife reacts so badly to their issues that it has a negative effect on their performance and wellbeing. If I try to make light of their issues and encourage them, she accuses me of not caring, which they pick up on, further reinforcing the negative atmosphere.
So, no sex for me until the kids are past university and married.
Can I really wait that long?
Sorry to be constantly moaning; I know that I am actually lucky to have my problems.
Last weekend I escaped for a few hours to my favourite place to relax http://www.rios.co.uk/
and then after a long walk to a pub with live music and real beer.
Thanks again to all my friends on LPSG.
