frankieboy Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 My wife is taking her nephew and niece on a trip and wants me to go. I don't feel like going but dont feel like dealing with the arguments if I don't. What should I do?
GorillaTheater Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 You may need to give a little more info. A trip to where? Why is your wife taking them? Why don't you want to go? How much sh*t are you going to get if you don't go? Generally speaking, if I REALLY didn't want to go I wouldn't. If it's just a matter of me not being particularly inclined to go, I'd look at other factors to make my decision.
Author frankieboy Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 She want to take them to the east coast. I would rather spend some time with friends here. The kids are cool but much younger than us so it's going to be weird. Also, my wife tries to be MOM when we are with them and that annoys me. It results in a lot of arguments which make it not fun for me. I feel bad however because she did go on a long trip with my family last year and feel like I should go. Although we visit her parents EVERY Weekend while we only visit mine once every few months.
seibert253 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Have you told her what you've just told us? You may wish to start there. Lack of communication kills more marriages than anything. Once you tell her how you feel, then bargin and compromise.
sally4sara Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Is this a test to see how you deal with children and determine your potential as a father? If it is, I think you might be getting an eff on this test so far.............
