WHG: Down the rabbit hole I guess

[workinghardguy]

You don't see a way for her to stop relying on you?

Because when she's living in the house we still share the bills. Yes, we could set up a rent structure I imagine. She "rents" the house from me... or part of the house. I'm thinking financial reliance, not any other type.

I told her that a) I was not ok with 1/8, b) that it is not what the C's have recommended, and c) that doing it purely for logistical reasons wasn't good enough. Her response was simply that she needs to do it and is going to. Period. I believe she wants to do it because it's the last big thing she is scared of. She wants to get it over and done with so she can move to the next step.

When I say week-to-week childcare I mean that it changes each week what days need what. We can typically do it out 6 weeks at a time, but no week is like the next due to her work schedule changing. And since she's in a union shop, if they need to change something (i.e. the night shift nurse is out for quite a while now due to a serious medical issue) she gets hit first since she's low-man on the union totem pole.

I guess I don't get the conversations in public part...
