Two family birthdays coming up on her side of the family. I guess this will be my first opportunity to give her a taste.
With previous events she would ask me if I (emphasis on I) wanted to go. Not go with her, but just go for myself. I usually went. Months ago she would go alone and expect me to babysit.
Now that she is so used to me saying yes, she is going to get a dose of reality.
Just as an aside, my lawyer suggested I keep a diary of everything I do for the kids, and everything she doesn't do. Not sure how this would be used down the road if at all. As he said, I am a part time father and she is a part time mother. I questioned part time mother since she's home with them all day. The lawyer said, "She is a part time mother because she has help all day long while you are at work, so she is still only shouldering 50% of the responsibilities." A very lawyerly way of looking at things...
