Positively moving forward

[ClingingToHope]

Who knows what's normal. I've read of people just ditching their old family entirely.

In my case, I rarely ever ask XW for updates. But you know my situation. My job is so flexible that I see the girls almost every day during the school year and have them over half the summer.

I don't need to call XW to be updated. But my situation is a rarity.

Some people, men or women, just aren't cut out to be full-time parents. They like to be parents, but they don't mind someone else doing the heavy lifting and just parachuting in occasionally.

That sounds like your XH doesn't it.

In the end, he misses out. Kids are aware of everything.
