A new thread, a new outlook.....

[Can it work]

Hwy PM,

Well, she did indeed come in the door angry at me. She basically handed me Wee Man, asked that I bath him and left, saying she had things to do and that she'd be back to get him later.

When she came back we sat down and I asked her what we were going to do about next week when I came home. Her answer was basically what she originally decided. I asked her to try and see it from my point of view and understand how much I miss him. I get him so much less time than her and I just want some way to get a little more time when I'm off work and I have that chance. She told me that having him any more nights wasn't going to happen although I could go visit to bath him a couple of evenings if I wanted.

Well, I could see I was fighting a losing battle so I tried something different. I said that I'd still like to have him all day Tuesday, even if he slept at hers. Well, that wasn't acceptable either. She'd have missed him too much to give up another day. I then suggested we could spend the day together with him. Well, I wish I'd never said that one!! She couldn't do that because she feels awkward and uncomfortable being around me!?!?! Now I know why she wouldn't come to lunch on Father's day. That was something I really didn't need to hear. It's as if the progress I felt I've been making over the past few months was completely in my imagination. She couldn't have twisted the knife any better if she'd tried.

So, we eventually did come to a compromise with me picking him up after his morning nap this morning and keeping him till after his morning nap on Tuesday. It's slightly extra time but not what I was hoping for PM. My hands are tied with this one now though.
