In Which My Husband Thinks...

He is going to get a little by helping me out... Or, an Interview with BS.

Over the past few months a good number of you have e-mailed me questions (122 to be exact) about BS's thoughts or opinions on a situation, or how he felt I handled a situation.

I took the first 10 questions and he's answered them. I have NOT edited his answers in anyway.

1. What do you think about Minnie having a blog?

I'm just fine with Minnie and her blog. She actually uses very little home time on it so it has no negative effect at the house. I know she enjoys the blog and definitely gets relief and some sanity from it so I am all for it.
Actually after I'm done cooking and cleaning for BS, the kid, and the dogs he you slips into his narcoleptic fit I pour a bottle glass of wine and blog.


2.What does she do the best?
Loaded Question # 1. My loaded answer to this is Everything that she attempts. All joking aside, Minnie is the best person I know at 2 things. She turns a difficult situation into a light situation very quickly and she never makes a hasty decision involving someone’s feelings.
He's into these conspiracy theories. "No body is trying to trick you, Babe. Answer the freaking question."

3. Where do you think she can improve In her blog? In your marriage? As a parent?
Loaded Question # 2. There is only one area that she could improve in and that would be A. I do not read her blog so I really don’t know if she could improve there, but B and C she is # 1.
REALLY? Honestly? I'd have to think if you were asked the same question in a smokey bar with your South East Texas posse that answer would be more like, "That bitch buys shoes, bleah, garlic and talks to her mother CONSTANTLY."

4. What is the hardest part about bringing someone into your children's life(s)?
Trying to convince the kids that there was a better life. It was much more difficult having someone in my life and them not knowing.
I Agree.

5. If you could change anything about their (Minnie and the kids) introduction, what would it be?
The only thing I would have changed about their introduction is that I would have made it happen sooner. Minnie was a little scared in the beginning. By the time they met, I was very comfortable that Minnie was going to be the best thing they had ever had in their life. At that time I didn’t know that Minnie would be the best mother figure for them, but it just worked out that they got the best mother figure as well as a good friend.
Yeah, I was weird about that. Because EVERY woman dreams of meeting the children of a woman who stalks her, calls her names, and physically threatens her. WTF? HELLO? BUELLER? Do you remember 2002-2004?

6. Do you and Daffy realize how much Minnie does for y'all?
Loaded Question # 3. I am 100% aware of what Minnie does. I can’t speak for Daffy, but by the decision he made on his living arrangements, I think he is on the right track to understanding as well. And besides, if we don’t acknowledge what she does in some small way, she takes something away from us just to remind us.
So clearly when my guys stopped bringing their dirty laundry to the laundry room, I didn't do it. For a LONG time. They looked like some ragged punks by day 5. But guess what? I don't have to remind them any more. Minnie giveth and Minnie taketh away.


7. Do you think your ex-wife does? Even if she won't call it out?
Certainly. Poor Minnie. The ex definitely knows and is not afraid to call it out to everyone she knows except us. Unfortunately, Minnie takes the brunt of this and the simple fact that myself and Daffy have moved on to a better life. The whole time I was married to my ex she was just fine with status quo. Now she just doesn’t accept it very well.
Oh sweet Lord have mercy on my Yankee soul, that bitch would have been through a wood chipper years ago.

8. All parents accepted, who is the most focused on the Kidlet's futures?
Minnie without a doubt.
I would agree. He's really greasing the wheels here though, isn't he?

9. Do you think you get a lot of support from your family? Minnie's family?
I feel that I get support from about 2% of my family. About 25% of my family supports me when they want or need something.
I can honestly say that 100% of Minnie’s family has been there the whole way.
I think that's true now, but the reality is that my family wasn't exactly thrilled in the beginning. Now, my family and my girlfriends are more support than we could have ever hoped for.

10. For Laura et. al.
(This is a picture of BS's legs, and blogger won't post it.)
I'll try and get it up over the weekend.

Thanks BS.

I'll try and get the next round of questions up soon. If you have additional questions for BS feel free to leave them as a comment or e mail me at minniesue at gmail dot com. Clearly he's game...
