WHG: And so we file...

[workinghardguy]

Stopped for a short minute tonight at W's house to drop off my S's baseball glove as he has tee ball in the morning. Today was my W's first day of on-line classes for her masters program. So I decided to be polite and just ask how the first day of classes went. When will I learn

She started unloading. Kids were at her house all day with the babysitter. Rather than putting her foot down with the sitter she let herself get interrupted. Yada, yada, yada. I let her go about 30 seconds and then cut her off and said I had to go. She asked if maybe the sitter could have the kids at my house tomorrow. Said no, I'm working from home tomorrow too and planned on quiet in my house to do that. She got stiff and cold, said fine and that she'd see me Wednesday when she drops S off.

Getting better at cutting her off and leaving her to her devices. Found myself almost volunteering to have the kids at my place tomorrow when she was venting. But not my problem any more. She's the one who wants to be single-working-mom-in-a-masters-program woman.
