The first sentence about me not being as rigid was in fact a bit defensive but she always says things in such a way as if I had something to do with things not working out. Her comment to me implied that even if we wanted to take a vacation I wouldn't go. Yet I'd mentioned to her in the past that we could. It was her that dropped the ball and didn't want to move forward. Like she does with everything else.
As for picking DD up early I wanted her to know that it's not as easy for me as it is for her. I really am not whining or complaining but she needs to have a bit of a sense of my situation. I commute a 110 miles a day, with DD's school being another 20 miles out of the way that makes it 150 miles a day. So I drop her off the first thing in the morning at 7AM - she's at school when the teachers are just walking in. I feel so guilty about it too. Then I rush to work driving 80+mph for an hr and a half. Then after 8 hrs I rush to her school to pick her up by 5:30pm, then take her to the park etc, then fix something to eat, then play with her, help her with the homework, then clean up, do the dishes, clean the cat litter, throw in a load of laundry if needed, answer to work emails or take phone calls (I work in IT), get her ready for bed. By 9pm I'm literraly exhausted. I haven't really said anything about this to anyone until now and I don't plan to tell her any of it but she needs to be a little more sensitive. I do realize that she was just relaying what DD asked her, it's not like she's telling me to pick DD up early.
I really appreciate your guys input, it keeps me sane and helps me to not backslide.
As for me having a lack of self confidence, to an extent it's true. I'm not the most confident guy out there, I couldn't strike up a conversation like that with random guys let alone girls. I never know what to say. As for me being ugly and stuff I was really just joking with mind about that.
