Looking for Advice

[gutwrenching]

Interesting afternoon. Very peaceful, W was reading book most of day, I did a little reading (5 LL book--wow I should have read that book a couple of years ago), little of this, little of that. Time for ski lesson for D3. I go to W and say who is taking her. W says if you are asking me, then no I don't want too. I'm sure she was anticipating that I would say ok. I didn't. I said I don't want to either. I suggested we play rock/paper/scissors to see who would take her (pulling trick from the past, something we hadn't done in a long time to solve a minor issue). W lost, I'm at home, W is pissed. Feels strange to not give in which has been my tendency just to avoid making her angry, but have finally realized too much cake eating...and now I'll just have to deal with the likely fallout rest of the day from another mood swing and losing the calm/relaxing day.

As she left, I did ask her why are you so angry. She said because she didn't realize how late it was and she should have left 20 minutes sooner. Not sure I believe that, don't really care. I wanted to call her out on anger over doing things with the kids and if her answer was true, well maybe she can think about being a little more responsible these days, instead of leaving it all to me.
