Anyway, W calls me this morning. She said that D8 needed a biography for a book report, and she lost recess yesterday because she didn't have it, and was going to lose it again today. She said it was the first she knew about it. She asked me if I could pick one up for D8, and take it over, but if not she would do it.
So, I went to library and got her one, and took it over. Now, I'm not "enabling" W, I simply don't want D8 to suffer because W ignores their homework and assignments.
I went in and asked D8's teacher to email me D8's weekly assignments, and she said that was great. S6's teacher has been very very worried about him. He blows away all the kids in his class doing speed drills and stuff, but has been bringing home C grades. Weirdly enough, he has gorgeous handwriting, but it has been getting sloppy. She told me today that it's like he doesn't care anymore.
Last time W and I went in for grades, W told her that we did tons of stuff as a family, etc (around Thanksgiving). So, I told his teacher that I had ceased most communication with W because she had started an affair, so I wanted to see if I could get more involved with his schoolwork. I could see her holding back tears. She thinks S6 is the best kid in the world - I think she would kidnap him!
So, anyway, this week is W's shot. If she brings OM to the picture at all, I will file divorce.
I'm debating giving her a "last chance" before I file - it would be a phone call the night before filing.
