I agree about the GAL comment - it works both ways. When I have the kids - W calls or texts. When she has the kids, I want to call way more than I actually do, I usually just text her and ask the kids to call me, which they do. It makes me feel guilty and that the kids may think I have forgotten about them. I call about every other day now when they are with her.
I have told the kids that whenever they want to call W they can do so, have shown them how to call her on the phone and now they can both text.
So....my fear is that they kids love her more and that I will become irrelevant. How crazy is that? I know but that is how part of me feels. When they are with me, we have a great time and I don't want to get caught up in outdoing the W with kid stuff. When they are with me, I want them to have a good time, with plenty of down time and just together time.
