I didn't know it was true....

I didn't know that when the good book said forsaken all others for your spouse (I'm paraphrasing of course) that it would actually come down to that. I am so tired of trying to keep my husband and our family seperate from my mom and sister. I love spending time with my sister and my mom but not when it's at the expense of the little bit of time I get with my husband. I offer to spend time with them together but my sister never wants too. I'm done with that? If she doesn't want to then forget it. I don't get to spend much time with my husband because he works a lot and the weekends are ours to have family time. I hate to say this and sound like a bitch but the more years I'm married and as our family expands I have found that my husband and OUR family really does come first. I love my mom and sister but they are secondary. When my husband and I make decisions about our family I can't let them be a part of it. We are a unit and I really wish they would get that. I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot and my sister was the one with the family then she would feel the same way as I do now.

I'm no longer just a sister or a daughter anymore. I am a wife and a mother first. I will not feel ashamed for wanting to spend time with my family.
