Actually, when we were together I was always the one to get the kids ready to go to school, fix breakfast, make lunches, etc. Don't get me wrong I love my old wife but she was/is semi-lazy, I knew that when I met her 18 years ago. But I definitely let it eat at me for the last 5 or 6 years I would say that I let it become an issue we/I never resolved and was one of the discords in our M.
I don't see taking care of the kids as a chore, I am blessed that I have them, the house, and all the other trappings of a nice "family" life w/o the wife. My W not only is a WAW but she is a walk away mother. No one can understand why she does not want to be with her kids more or fight to be with them. Not once has she asked me to move out of the house so she could move back in to be with the kids. Look back in my sitch, my D13 knows everything, multiple OM, and the lies my W told her. My D13 hates her mother, which is presenting a problem for the "family" this Christmas. S9 wants Mom here on Christmas morning but D13 does not, S9 is very upset and is coming to grips with the strong possibility of D. D13 is ready for Mom and Dad to D, she does not want to see her mother ever again.

I think I am dealing with an extreame case of WAW with multiple OM, I pity her b/c she is truly sick or addicted to sex/attention from men. I feel like she really does not miss the kids that much. I think she treats my S9 like a pet, she will visit him once in a while and play with him but does not yearn to care for him. It is as if she never had them as babies and never established that mother child bond. I do get tired of hearing the same old "but she will always be their mother" . I feel that when men leave the R with kids he is abandoning them but if it is the woman then somehow she was forced out, or that she really wants to be with them but can't. BullS*&t, mothers can disconnect from their children just as easily as men do. We do not want to acknowledge it b/c everyone loves their mother and can not imagine their mother doing what my W has done, as if they are not capable of being as big of 'PIGS' as men are so often labeled as being. VENTING again, sorry.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
