Dealing with WAW part 5

[pilot]

Extremely disappointed in my W tonight. It was a cookout/football game at my S5 new school for new parents. We decided we would both take the kids. The game started at 7, the cookout at 6. I got my times mixed up and realized it on the way. Instead of meeting her at the school at 6, I ended up arriving at her place (close to the school at 445. Ironically I thought I would be late...but a drive that takes an hour in the morning took just over 30 minutes. At any rate, I decided I would just go to her place, as she had picked the kids up from school and I had a change of clothes for them. She was just pulling out, and said she was off to a fast food place with a playground. She was going to sit there for an hour. Whether or not she was meeting someone there (she jumped on her phone as she was pulling out) or was still not wanting me to come inside her place, I had no idea. I did have to pee really bad, and asked if I could go in. She tried to refuse, and I said if you dont want me to go in, that is fine, I just really need to pee. She made a dramatic sigh about having to get out of the car and how she did not want to turn it off, and now she has to get the kids out. Apparently I cannot get the keys and go pee on my own. When we were inside, she told me to use the kids bathroom, and waited outside the door. Then herded me out. Wow...

Anyways, back to why I was disappointed. My S5 was having a blast at the game. W had already said she did not want to stay long. Ok, fine. But during the 1st quarter she kept saying how S3 was tired and wanted to go home. I did not sense that, but ok. Finally after hearing it enough, I said ok, we can go. We did drive separately but the thinking was it would be easier to watch to quick moving kids in a crowd if we were both there. S5 was devastated. he was crying and super sad about leaving. He was having such a good time. I asked W if she was going out or going home. Cause if she was going home, she could take S3 and I would get him after the game. She said she was not going out but had errands to run (8pm Friday evening?). S5 was still a mess. I said I would keep them both here so the kids can have fun. And I did.

I was not upset that she had plans. Gotta figure she would. I was bothered that whatever it was could not wait at least another hour for the sake of the kids, especially S5 who was loving his first football game.
