Thanks V. I get your point. I think the real issue is that we only have a verbal agreement about time with kids and WW is unstable and unreliable. She likes to switch thing up last minute, and coordinate through S18. That kind of stuff should be going through me. I'm not sure there is any easy way of dealing with her on this stuff TBH. She sees everything through her own selfish lens and is never to blame, while I can't seem to do anything right.

I suspect nothing much will change until I officially file (I assume I'll probably be the one to do it), and we get a court-ordered agreement in place. Then I will hold her to the details. Given the way things are going now, there may not be much to dispute because I really don't see her getting more than a night or two per week with any of the kids. Over 6 months, she hasn't shown any real interest in having the kids more than 2-3x per week and that hardly ever includes an overnight. I'll continue logging this behavior and plan to show it to a judge when the time comes. It may be a wake-up call to her, but I want the kids to be with a parent who makes them the priority.

So all the kids made it through the first day with flying colors. WW checked on them briefly this afternoon and brought them a burger for an after school snack. She didn't stay long but it was nice she at least did that, and sent me a TM that they were fine. I'm spending some time with my brother right now, then home to make dinner and get the kids ready for day 2. Busy life as a single dad. But I wouldn't trade it.
