I have to agree with 25 totally and I dont even have kids.

Leaving two young kids alone for 8+ hours in an apartment complex that is fairly new to them with neighbors you dont yet know is crazy WHILE they have full access to the Internet. I mean, seriously? What about lunch for them? What if they didnt use the stove properly and a fire happened? What if you were robbed or when one of them got hurt? What if god forbid one of them found your meds and decided to take a few?

You knew when your kids were done with school, you knew you would have them during the week and you knew you would be working. Why didnt you make any plans for their care? What did you plan to do with them all summer besides a few weeks of camp? You have complained up and down that when your W has the kids all she does is park them in front of the tv and text. And while that is not stellar parenting at least she is there with them!

25 is right - you are so invested in getting your W back and looking for a quick fix you are not only neglectful of yourself but now you are doing the same to your children. Do you think your W will feel comfortable knowing her kids are alone all day without any adult supervision AND it was not something you discussed with her ahead of time?

You belong to a HUGE church - dont tell me there isnt some sort of daily childcare available there for the summer months.

This is what I mean by you "figuring it out". You cant. And while you keep trying you put two little kids in danger AND you really pissed your W off more.

Think about this and think hard. You keep saying its all about your kids but today it sure wasnt. It was again about you and how you cant win.
