I know all about not being able to afford the professionals. Regardless I'm sure you will do what is best for you and your situation.

On top of that, I work a full time job and have two kids who live with my ex that I go pick them up every Friday after work and give them back Sunday evening. So I never get a day off.<br /><br /><br />No time for dates, not that anyone would put up with this mess.<br /><br /><br />Not complaining, I'm actually a little surprised at how well I'm doing for a dude who isn't really the "caregiver" type.

My Wife is paralyzed from the wast down, I now do all the cooking and house work (I am not very good at it but I do the best that I can), <br />We have Two daughters, One lives at home but she works a lot, So that leaves me with taking care of my wife's needs most of the time. I almost never get to go to the gun range or go any where. My hearing is going bad and that causes a problem when my wife wants something and i get is wrong. I am working on trying to get a hearing aid. well that's all the whining for now.<br />Sincerely StepinitStepinitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-41668053782643094722014-02-04T16:58:45.806-05:002014-02-04T16:58:45.806-05:00When I get to ten what?
