Agreed. Are you cosleeping with the baby too? Ya know what, that does not even matter. I mean it is a polite way out. But c'mon. Those kids have been through enough without thinking "What if Mommy leaves us now?" Sorry, but that is the guilt trip my D6's TH put on me and she may be right. My kids are pretty anxious about losing their Dad, who is next grandma? Mommy? Auntie? Kids need to be with a primary parent and in their beds at night consistently. That is totally my bias though and my H is homeless so there is no contest there....yet.

Neph. Your H makes my skin crawl because I have a feeling he waltzes into his teachers' lounge like the cat's meow, as though all those other colleagues think he is the cool teacher. That is how well my H used to be loved but karma is striking more quickly than expected. We have a man like that at work and everyone gossips behind his back but we are all nice to his face, but I know what a jerk he is, I know.

You handled that phone call beautifully except for one thing. You anawered when you already had daycare covered. Imagine he is unavailable for anything from now on. Imagine another emergency contact. Wait are you Dark or is that just me?
