OK so bit of a situation need some advice. We have made arrangements for S1 similar to someone else I saw on here cannot remember who it was. May have been enigma or anyways we were planning on alternating days drop off pickup at his daycare. I drop him off she picks him up she drops him off I pick him up etc etc. Only difference here is my W works at this daycare she came to the house today wanted to talk about the arrangement and she told me she didn't like leaving work and leaving S1 there waiting for me to pick him up she said she feels like she's abandoning him. She leaves around 4:15 ish when she gets off her shift I pick up around 4:45 when I get off work. So S1 is there in the capable hands of her coworkers for 30 minutes. Anyway I told her I'd talk to my boss and see if I can rearrange my hours on days that I pick up S1 so that I go in 1 hour early and get off 1 hour early so I can pick him up at 3:45. Talking to a few freinds they urged me to stand my ground don't change shifts they said she's making a big deal of nothing. 2 things to note: #1 I what to pick it up S1 from daycare on my days because I want to be a good father and be there for him and want him to know I'm there for him. #2 I don't want to see my W everyday. So picking up after she leaves would realy be preferable.
Here is what I was thinking of saying to my Web
I'm gona tell her I thought about it tonight and it decided that I don't think I will talk to my boss but I still want to pick up S1. I'll talk about him not being there long as well as this fact that she can stay and hang out with her freinds/coworkers and wait for me if she doesn't want to "abandon" which is not abandoning anyways he's in very capable hands.
The other option is to actually talk my boss and recycling arrange my hours. This would give me an extra hour with S1 on days I pick him up.
The 3rd option would be find him a new daycare where she doesn't work and then she won't have to leave him.
Anyways what do you all think? What should I say?
