When he is home......

@ 08:42 PM (16 months, 15 days ago)
When he is home, he is not really here.   He just sits in front of the computer and plays WOW.  He doesn't play with the kids, do the yard, help with the house, unpack us, nothing.   I caught him in a lie this week, drinking with the other recruiters when he was supposed to be at work still.  Just drops his underwear in the floor and rolls on.....................loads of fun.   I have seen him 4 hours this week.
