W left this morning for a two day trip to go to a concert with her sisters. She asked me a couple of weeks ago to take the days off work to watch kids and get them off the bus and to school funtions. I really thought about telling her no, if you want to go, you find someone to watch them untill I get off of work. But, they are my resposibility too, and I just couldn't tell her that. She just has no idea what it would be like if I wasn't here so she could go do all of her running. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind at all, but things aren't normal, are they? I did get a kiss good-bye. Big deal.
Time for new normal, idu.
"W, I have decided that you going to a concert for two days is not a reason I would choose to take off of work. You will have to find another option because this one is not available."
I know the concert deal is done but keep this posture in your hip pocket for the next time she asks your permission to take advantage of you. Big Girl Panties - she wants to be an completely independent woman with no ties to bind her to you, then let her have that. Don't be there for her.
