I am thinking about replying to her that we decided to go out of town for the weekend and left today. We didnt decide to do this until Monday, so it's not like we had long term plans to do this. I will go into some other details too on why we decided to do this, but it has nothing to do with our R, or competing with her in any way. I dont get that at all.
I also want to tell her that I am trying to be as busy as I can and enjoy my time with my kids as much as possible. We certainly wish you were a part of this, but you have chosen a different route. Because of this choice, I dont think you can expect me to be checking in with every detail of my time with the kids. I'm not trying to hide anything, but I think when you left the house, you also left a certain level of knowledge of our family life behind. You know how I feel and I wish you could see the effort I'm putting into my kids is also possible with you.
Perhaps there's too much persuing in there, but I'm a DB failure for sure...that's why I need guidance.
