MrBond, I think you're great, but sometimes I wish you were a bit less brusque.
I had somehow remembered that your situation took in the 2-year range rather than four. I've read quite a lot of threads and sometimes the details get confused. The ages of your daughters in your signature line confuse me wrt the amount of time your w was away and didn't quite tally with what I remembered of your experience.
JFred, sorry for the hijack.
