I may have done something monumentally stupid, but even after waiting and thinking about it, I do not regret it yet.

	All fair. I'm saying Lex shouldn't treat you that way, not that you need Mum, or me, to referee it. I think you can handle it or I wouldn't have said I thought you could. I didn't think Lex would be making it deliberately harder, though. Are you angry just about this or about the whole thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like you pointed out above, to be part of this family, you have to give up what you want for the good of the whole. Do I resent this fact? Certainly, but I am hardly in a position to give up the privileges of the Macmillians. I can't do that to Jamie or the children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't mean I'm not pissed at MG for putting me in the position where it's come up, though. And Lex is being a sight more provoking than MG. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She will not see that, however. To borrow her turn of phrase, it would be 'unacceptable.' I really should not complain. I have a wonderful family. A loving husband. Family and friends who are willing to help with the children when the Team takes my attention. Many do not even have that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've taken a lot on. Listening to you complain about it is the least I can do. I appreciate what you're doing even if Lex doesn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I thank you for listening, but the fact remains that in the scheme of the universe I am quite lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We both are, and so is Lex. I haven't forgot that things could have turned out very differently for all of us. And you're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I may need to take a few days off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana yaxels 2017-11-26 05:34 am UTC (link)
	I'm not the boss but if you need to skive off in my flat, it's yours. I'll go stay with Fraser. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just the team! I could not abandon my family like that. But it is sweet of you to offer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wouldn't kill Jamie to have the kids for a day and anyway Fraser and I could help with the boys. But you do what you need to and we'll handle the rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He already takes days off from work to help with the new schedule. I want to take a few days off from the team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana yaxels 2017-11-26 06:31 am UTC (link)
	I understand that. I'm just asking, when's the last time you had a whole day to do whatever you wanted for yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mel perfectmother 2017-11-26 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	I honestly cannot remember, but that sounds rather dramatic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana yaxels 2017-11-26 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	Then it's time for you to have one as part of your break from ~~Lex~~ Montrose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mel perfectmother 2017-11-26 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	I would not mind a quiet day at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aureliana yaxels 2017-11-26 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	Then you should take one. (Reply to this) (Parent)
