She called this morning; I let it go to VM. She scheduled a Dr. Appt. for our D today. So one thing to know here is she got an apartment on the completely other side of town. 30-45 minute drive to where our house is, daughter’s daycare, and her doctor. Good choice W.
Anyways, she hints in the message about how to schedule this if our D cannot go to daycare. I call her back and say “find out what the doctor says and whether or not she can go to daycare, if she can, plan A, if not, I will meet you in front of daycare at 2pm”
An, “Oh, OK” response from her, and then “I guess then I’ll have to drive all the way across town twice today”
Me “Well, I don’t know what to say, let me know what the doctor says”
End of call.
I am as calm and collected as I have been for a while. It is really amazing that the morning after our talk last night, she still expects me to go out of my way to help her, and make this easier on her. Nope, no more.
I will also have to bring up how we handle these things in the future. My agreement to meet her at daycare at 2pm still means I have to leave work early. This isn’t a big deal for me, but I think I will propose an alternating schedule going forward for who adjusts their work schedule for when D is sick. Anyone have a good plan for this?
