I want to be free

Is there anyone else who thinks...as soon as my kids are grown, I just want to be on my own. I don't want to pick after others, feel like I have to buy food and cook. I don't want to listen to "I am a man, I am right" all the time. I don't want anyone to have control or offer unsolicited advice over any aspect of my life. I want to work and play hard for myself. 

Then I think, crap...my luck I'll get sick or something and need my spouse to care for me. Maybe we can just be roommates and friends with out obligations. Then I realize...oh yeah we kind of we're that (plus benefits) before we had kids....

3 more weeks

3 more weeks until I regain my sanity. Aunt-in-law has been caught in lies. Mother-in-law doesn't know how to say "no" to direct relations but had no problem continuing to ignore me. Feeding the kids junk and only knows how to cook greasy foods, though she can't eat them herself. She insists on cooking but doesn't know how to cook. Burning and ruining my only pans. I understand they want to feel useful, and if that is the case, stop buying my children toys and food and then sitting on your computer. Start interacting. Seriously, if I could, I would hop in the car with the kids and road trip tonight. Did I mention I paid $700 for us to all sit around in a hotel room for 2 days...you would never guess, but the beach was 100 yards away.
