I'll be honest, every other weekend my mother takes my girls to give me a break.......does that make me a bad mother?

[Arikana]

Well, as long as you're not doing anything illegal or allowing your mother do harm your children, I don't see why letting her take them off your hands for a day on a bi-weekly, is a bad thing. I think it's good to get a break from caring for your children, otherwise you may accidentally lash out at them and that would cause more harm than good.

[Cora]

Its usually for the whole weekend.

But it does usually allow me time to clean the house and things of that nature.

[Xurxo]

I think that's good. Kids get restless, and I know when I was little I always enjoyed my grandparents. I'd have LOVED if I could have biweekly weekends with my grandparents.

[Cora]

Plus my father spoils them rotten.

[Arikana]

Lul. They must love to go to your parents then. XD

[Cora]

They do, but I don't.

Its just my father showing off his money.

[Arikana]

Well, what else can you do? You're going to need to clean the house every now and then.
Perhaps they could just go to a neighbour or nearby family friend's house for a bit instead?

[Cora]

I don't want to keep them from mom though so I deal.

However if I could I would keep them away from my father.

[Arikana]

Ah, I see. Well, I have no clue how to keep them away from your father, because anything else I come up with will either involve death, make me sound sadistic, or both. >.>

[Cora]

I've thought of death...I wont lie.

[Arikana]

o3o
I feel like it's worse hearing you say that since it is your own father we're talking about in relation to death.... >.>

[Cora]

You'd wish him dead too if he was your father.

[Arikana]

Still sounds worse coming from you. >.>

[Cora]

Put it this way, I don't hate anybody. But I hate my first ex-husband and I hate my father. Not sure which I hate worse.

[Arikana]

You realize your first and second sentences are contradictory, right?
