Mo I understand what you are saying. I wish it were that easy. H does have his days with the kids, but if he says I can't pick them up what choice do I have. If I say well neither can I h, just find some help, he won't find the help. Then my s7 will be getting off the bus and nobody will be there.

I can't risk that. I am forced to step in. At this point I just try to do my best with my h for now. I do get dissappointed, but I do understand business and I know that in the kind of job my h has sometimes it is NOT possible to pick up the kids.

You are right though, he is the one that should be trying to get help and a text is not the appropriate way to say I can't get them today.

Someone on here said conflict avoider. That is exactly what my h is. So he text so he doesn't have to speak to me. How do you deal with someone like that. How easy is it to text vs picking up the phone and having a real conversation. Thanks PH for your insight.

I really wonder about my h. How can he progress?
