Will someone please tell me I did the right thing here (or the wrong thing)?
H called to say he was on his way to pick up the boys. He asked me if I would mind if he just takes S4 and leave S1 with me. He said his back is hurting and he isn't sure how he would entertain and wrangle the both of them. I huffed a little, but agreed.
When he got here, he asked again. I had changed my mind. I told him that it's his day to take them and that I need a break (he has been gone for over 5 weeks and has only taken them to where he's staying once - yesterday, for a couple of hours). He whined a little, but I stood my ground.
This is a 180 of sorts for me. Normally, I would have relented and agreed to keep S1 with me, to make it easier on H. I feel that my response is two-fold: I stood by my boundaries AND he'll have the have a small taste of what it's like to be a single dad. He complained one last time as he was getting into the car, but I reassured him that he is a good dad and that he would figure it out.
