CTH I know those ups and downs. I know the feeling of 'I didn't want to be a part time parent who's missing out on half the stuff the kids do in their lives'. When you really think about that "half" part it's hurtful but as others said it is what it is and we just have to make the best of it. The time you do have with them just make it special...I know you do and I know you try hard but just hanging out with them even cleaning up the house or doing grocery shopping with them is OK. They'll remember and cherish the simple moments in life- I need to remind this myself sometimes when I'm trying to plan out the weekends for her.
