My stbx and I tag teamed parenting when we were together, unfortunately. I was the STHP, yet my stbx kept telling me that I wasn't financially contributing enough, so I'd do my best to get to client jobs when she got back from work.

Like your not arguing GM, I knew that us operating that way was not good. Yet of all I knew, I could not figure out how to make that better. A few jobs I did have during the M didn't work either because they required evening and weekend work, so ended up not pleasing stbx either. *sigh*

Damned if we don't and damned if we do.

Bea, that's where that whole idea of "still in MLC 7+ yrs later" seems so true. Even though they seem to transition and be functional elsewhere, with us... the MLC seems to go on, and on...
