How far to let them fall? Hmm... can't say but they NEED to do the work too.
Smiley's right. Kids sitting in front of the TV with a 12 pack of cola isn't good. But the W needs to own this decision too. And that means owning all of it - kids, extended family, house, bills, etc. If the W needs to learn how to interact with the kids (as mine is now) then she needs to learn it.
Once again I can't visit Crazyville (her house and life) anymore. I've got my life, my little island of sanity (term used loosely), and my work to do. I do great things with my kids. I control that.
Right now I'm quiet. I've tried hard and I need a break. She knows the door is open if she wants to talk.
