I know you don't want to play that card, but it is the only thi g that will make her do part of the driving. I say call her bluff and tell her the only way you can do three weekends is if does her share of the driving. You know she will, b/c she can't stick it out a single week without calling you to rescue her. Don't be scared you aren't going to get the kids plenty, b/c you will have them every time you turn around.
Yes, by all means respond by telling her she has to drive!
Btw, how do you know she's not lying about the insurance being twice the amount you were paying? It make be the makings of her asking for more money in the near future.
I'm not ready to play that card yet.
I sent this: "Hi,
I would put the fuel in your car. I still think you should do some of the driving.
I will be working later on some Fridays."
I will see what comes back.
The insurance was £?? per month. That was with me as the main driver, 19 years experience, 18 years without a claim and parked on a private drive in a nice neighbourhood.
She's been driving 4 years, no years without a claim to her name and parked on the road in a semi rough area near a town centre.
Being double came as no surprise. I went online and did a quote as if i was her and it was more like triple per month. I was impressed with how a low quote she got (unless she lied on it).
She can ask for more money, she isn't getting anymore than the price I was already paying.
