I hate to admit it, but I have parents who have been married for over 3o years and they absolutely hate each other. I grew up thinking divorce was the worst thing in the world and looked sadly upon friends who came from broken families. Seeing how miserable my parents are around each other now, I wonder if they should have gotten a divorce.
Being married with children now, I don't think it would be the end of my world if they decided to split. Maybe they would live happier lives and I wouldn't have to be in the middle of all their problems. For instance, today I called my mom and spoke to her for a bit when my dad picked up the other line and started to talk to me. My dad had just a little something to say, but my mom got mad because he interrupted her conversation and she ended up hanging up the phone! Dad didn't have anything to say except that mom was overreacting. I agree...It's such a little thing to fight over and I didn't care that dad picked up the other line. Unfortunately, this really bothered my mom. I called back and told her this, but she just wouldn't hear it. She was pissed. Well...Maybe she should tell dad how she feels and how it makes her feel when he jumps into her conversations.
Really, I have no time to resolve fights that my 60+ year old parents are having...I have a baby, husband, home and myself that needs tending to.
Oh, I do feel for my mom and wish she could see just how silly she is sometimes...Don't sweat the small stuff...Life is too short.
Gotta go! Baby is crying.
