Oh, And definitely stop the judging of their time together. It does NOT help your d to see that or feel it--it may well hurt her feelings and it smacks of the old Arsene you don't want to be. Besides, you think teaching her math is all that fun? Really?
You're putting yourself in the position of professor and she's student and that's that...my father thought that's what dads did...but he never PLAYED with us. Maybe your w is compensating AND besides, you don't know all the stuff they do or talk about b/c you are not there. Anyhow...
I'm very sorry about the custody problems there with the law. Seems you might want to act on your wife's good feelings/guilt, etc
Thanks 25. It's always good to smacked around by you. You are right, I am judging her again and even though it's only here, I should really try to get over that. I guess I'm still angry and venting but it's part of my 180s and I'm getting better (yeah, I know, it doesn't look like it but believe me I am).
With regards to teaching D8, the education system here is horrible and either tutoring of parental help is necessary. W and I have always shared the duty but now that I'm the main care provider, I'm doing more of it than before and this includes my taking care of math occasionally. The thing is, I always used to lose patience with D8 and math but I'm now learning to make it fun and not to push D8 to the point where she loses interest and it's been working.
Re: custody, I've spoken to 1 L and my C about it and they both agree, Not many expat Ls around I'm afraid.
Thanks MrBond and 25. I appreciate your input.
