w: Ok. Just drop them off. I'll deal.

w: But maybe you could pick up kids in the morning?

I arrived at her house with groceries and prayed with kids. There was no hostility from her, and she even mentioned some trains she saw on her trip - this came up because the kids and I played with mine today, on the kitchen table (bachelor mode, lol). Anyway, we talked about how the setup she saw could work in our house, so pleasant conversation.

We then discussed the next day and she said it would help her if I took kids to school, so I will. We have a normal schedule but this one is an extra.

Our D process is about to enter mediation. I was able to request more time to gather information, which was needed, but it does give it more time. All it will take is for her to withdraw her original petition for divorce for us to start back tracking. How do I make that easy for her?
