He's not spending time with his mother. He is just at her house so he can surf the net and take a nap!

A NAP every day, when you're dead on your feet from doing work *he* could be doing after he gets home?

Well, I freaking give up. Forget anything I said before, I was wrong. Give him ketchup sandwiches until you get the divorce papers filed, honey, and if he asks you to 'give it up' between now and then, tell him you need YOUR damned nap first and it's going to be a nap like Rip Van Winkle took.

ARRGH! I thought we were talking about a marriage between a woman and a man, not a BRAT...

He is a brat as far as his personality goes and I've told him as much.

He gets upset whenever I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do and I have gone so far as to tell him that my 5 year old isn't as tough to handle as he is.

If he doesn't get what he wants, when he wants it, it's time for an argument. I do try to make him happy, I really do. But I already have 2 kids and I really don't need another!

Arrested devlopment may be the problem here. He wants to have the life he had at 21, whilst I tackle the "adult" jobs of parenting and caring for the household.

He considers it a MAJOR sacrifice that he longer plays sports 3 nights a week (softball, bowling and flag football). I should be grateful and let him have his weekly band practice, don't you get it? /sarcasm
