Ss06, thank you. I think I might like you. Haha. smile I appreciate what you're saying, and I know you're right. I hope he'll agree to watch the kids...I know job & family services will cover childcare for me but I'm not an advocate of big government and I'm certainly not one to seek handouts, but it would significantly lessen the blow to the kids if he would watch them instead of my having to send them off to a stranger.

Thank you so much for your input, it's been very valuable to me!

EDITED TO SAY: I hope he'll parent the kids while I work...not watch them. ;-)
