Just needing to vent a few min. I guess most of you know how frustrating it is to not be able to fix things that he should be out here to fix!!!! I get so angry at times. I don't really have the x-tra money to spend. He would have a fit if i asked my ex to do it. (Even thouth we have kids together) or if another man fixed it he would want to know how I repayed him. I HAVE JUST ABOUT HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banghead: Everything seems like its falling apart!!!!!! :smash:

We Must Be Sharing The Same House Lol Girl I Cant Figure It Out Either Stuff Needs Done Around Here And I Know He,d Do It But Thats Impossible So Who Do We Get Too Help Cause If I Fix It Myself I'll Have Bigger Problems!!!!!!!!!!! Keep Your Head Up!!!!!!

Just a thought if you attend a church ask the pastor if there is someone who could help you or teach you how to do simple maintance. A lot of churches will help seniors or single moms who cant afford to pay a handyman. If all else fails go to the library and check out a home repair book, I have learned how to fix a running toilet, stop a leaky kitchen sink, put in a window pane( much better than just putting up plastic which was my first attempt). Just remember if it is already broke you cant hurt it anyway and when all else fails read the directions.

Well I know this sounds harsh but........If you can't find any help they will approve of then do what you've gotta do!!Get whoever you can to help you out and then if he wants to say something stupid then ask him why weren't you here to fix it and We wouldn't even be having this arguement!!(sp)Sorry if this sounds so cruel but some of these men(including Lee) are just so self centered and inconsiderate on our parts.They don't stop to think about what we go through or have been through(in my case)while their locked up.So I say do whatever it takes to keep up the homefront or the rides that you have to have.The rides that if you didn't have you couldn't even go visit these men.

Leeslady, I completley understand what you are saying. And hell yes, it makes perfect sense. He should be here and not in there. He thinks he is the only one who is suffering, I'd like to slap him upside the head with a realitiy pill. LOL:ham:

Yeah as always they think they are the only one that anybody should have any pitty for.And it's more like HELLO why are you there,it wasn't me that was doing things that got you there.I guess they think it's a joyride for us while their in there.And it doesn't seem to any different when they get out,Lee still thinks poor,poor Lee.And I'm more like hey reality check,I've got problems myself.We are still on the verge of divorce,I thought maybe we could work things out but I guess I'm the one that needs the reality check!!!OH well..... it's not like he's the only man on this earth and my life will go on.

It was refreshing to see some some true feeling about how prision affects the partner at home.
My husband did something stupid before we got married and i knew there would be a chance that he would do some time eventually.
i kept pleading with him as we got closer to his surrender date that we take care of alot of stuff that we hadnt. Of course we didnt take care of anything.
Guess who is left holding the bag.
I have a 15year old, a two year old and our own business.
My husband has a salt water tank with corals and tropical fish. I told him to please show me how everything works as it requires upkeep.
He didnt show me anything. Long story all his corals died. I told him he had the nerve to tell me "ok i've gotta go, I'll talk to you later" and to be upset with me.
I dont think these men understand all of the daily garbage that we deal with.
Sometimes I wish it were me in there, seems like life would be alot easier.

thank you for allowing me to vent.

Time to tighten up ladies and learn a few new skills.

When I need something fixed my first resource is the internet and then Home Depot......they will tell you exactly what needs to be done, and if it is okay to do yourself or you need a professional.

With co workers, fathers, brothers ........there is always somebody.

Any suggestions how to unstop an unstoppable toilet or run phone lines? ****LOL***** But im not laughing:o
