Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Muddling through the day. D10 had to leave school early. She called me, not W, because she knows I'll come and get her.

So I did and dropped her off at a neighbor's house and worked for a bit. Then went home to meet D7 off bus. After school lady couldn't come today because she's sick. So I stayed home with both for a while and W called to say they could go to a daycare by her work.

So I drove them all the way across town to drop them off there and head back to work. Put myself seriously behind. W? She blissfully worked through her day with no troubles.

She is committed to going through with a D. I'm committed to have this affect my D's as little as possible, but I can't continuously put my job on hold for W's sake without consideration.

So when the time comes to discuss visitation stuff and child support how I bring up the fact that I should pay less because I am putting my own career in jeopardy by continually being the kid shuttle person?

W never said thanks -- I've done it for so long she expects it. D10 is pretty sick though. I doubt there's any way she makes it to school tomorrow. I'm wondering what W will do. If she pulls the crap she did before and leaves her home alone, do I call her on it?
