You can't have everything, where would you put it?

First night of round three of Marriage Rebuilders -- for those who have been divorced or going through one -- was interesting.

Three people back from the spring class. Two that I like -- and one lady who is just so blind to her anger and bitterness issues that she's going to lose her kids. Two of the four already chose to live with the dad. She says he's buying them. Just listening to her, I think they want to get away from her nasty temper. I don't even like having to be at the same table.

She has not gotten any better since spring.

Of the newbies, we had a 32-year-old really attractive girl whose husband left her a month ago and moved to North Carolina. She has a 3-year-old and 17-month-old and she just filed bankruptcy and for divorce. He left her more than $30k in debt.

Wow. I thought I had it bad.

We talked after.

Another full day. A couple of texts from STBXW. D8 is throwing a fit she can't go with D11 tomorrow. Hey, it's her night to handle it.

Second. The bus schedule for D8 has her being picked up at 6:38 a.m. Again, consequences. STBXW has to be at work at 8:15 a.m., which is when school starts. So she can't drop the girls off at school. They have to take the bus.

D8 is on a special bus because she's going to a school outside of our zone because it has the ADHD program.

If STBXW can't get it worked out, it puts her in a real bind. That's awful early to have to get D8 up and ready for school.

Plus, I'm guessing it'll just add to STBXW's resentment of me. I don't have to be at work until 9 a.m. -- and really later if I have things going on. So I drive the girls to school EVERY morning they stay with me. That gives them each an extra 45 minutes or so of sleep.

I didn't respond to that email. She wanted to be a single parent. Well, there's scheduling issues that come with that -- deal with it.
