Yesterday, I went to D5 Kindergarten orientation. W arrived w/D and said "look, Daddy's here, what a nice surprise."
Went throught the typical orientation stuff. W is a teacher in the district so she new a lot of parents/staff there. I felt uncomfortable for a bit when they took all the kids for a tour and the parents were talking...just felt so outnumbered.
w's neighbors introduced themselves "hi, I didn't no you and your wife lived in our neighborhood." Comments like that make it weird. I just smiled and made small talk.
Kept telling myself that I'm there for D.
W and I did sit next to one another and that was fine. She did look beautiful (she is) 5'8" gorgeous blonde. Anyway, I need to get over the fact that my w and kids moved to her school district and I am the outsider now.
Also was able to pick up some part time work with the national parks scenic r.road. My consulting business hit bottom this spring and I've been financially strapped to say the least.
W keeps letting me know of the kids expenses..tuition, sports, et., etc. I do send money and feel bad abut not being able to contribute more..this will pass. She really seems to be all about the money at this point.
