Having a hard time dealing with this that was thrown my way from the W today....she keeps saying that she needs to have more alone time....let me explain. She rented an apartment mentioned in my first post. For the most part I've taken on all of the parenting responsibilities. About 98%. But we have mostly stuck with our normal schedule. So I go to work at about 9a she goes at 8a. I get done with work about 5p, she gets done about 4p. I drop our S off at school in the morning and pick him up, then drop him at sitter. W picks up after work. A bit detailed, but to make my point.... Now she is saying that it's too much. She needs more alone time. For the most part she wants to see us(him) one day a week, preferably Sunday in the morning. I've thought alone time has meant away from me, but now she's come clean and said away from both of us. That time with our S isn't the same. Has anyone encountered this? Any advice? Our S is already upset that mom is "working" more as that is how we have described it, but going for 6 days with no contact, he's gonna be hurt. I can do the 37 steps and I've been great with it with the exception of a "miss you" here and there, but overall solid. I don't want to be angry, but I'm angry that it seems like being a Mom bothers her, like it's too much. Then I get upset with myself because I keep telling myself this isn't the person you've known and I can't be upset and blame her. Jeez, this is tough stuff.
