My XW lives about 3 miles from me so distance isn't necessarily an issue. She has the kids 50% of the time, and when she does, she drives them to school, the store, drops them off at my place. If she drops off, I pick up, and vice versa. I don't pay for her gas or insurance.

What is convenient and fair? Pick that, and tell her that's what it is. Then move on. Unless she has some compelling reason why it'll hurt her, just do it. Be fair but firm, and when she throws a fit, let her get over it.





What is it you think I'm going back and forth on?

I want her to do some driving, I have told her this. This hasn't changed at all.

I have picked fair and convenient, she doesn't agree. I can only just move on if I let it be as it is.
I can be firmer than a concrete slab, it doesn't change her opinion.
She has thrown fits and I have ignored them. This part is getting much easier.
