Ok - well forget Retro then. There are other forms of assistance.

The gist of my question was have you provided your W with a list of options to jointly participate in (ex: C'ing) and if she declines let her know you will be moving forward without her?

I guess I don't feel my question was answered. What incentive does she have to change? Her family is helping her out and you bend over backwards for her. Aside from not having her children full time it seems things are a bit too easy for her and I am not sure status quo is the best approach (IMO).
