About the looking after the kids, I want 50/50 and said I could change my schedule to be able to drop them off at school. She didn't believe me. Then I confirmed it then she said that she wasn't going to pay for the early morning care that I needed to drop them off. Then I said I would pay for it. Then she said that she doesn't like that the kids will be in the early morning care and that would mean a long day at school. I said that is so that they can spend time with me at my place more then every other weekend.
Every problem she came up with I had a solution but a new problem came up. \I was asking for her to have the kids Sun, Mon, Tues, and I would have them Wed,Thrus, fri, and we would alternate Sat.
Then she started to say that school days don't count as time with kids because they are at school. I disagreed. She wants them all week, I get two visits during the week and we rotate weekends.
Next was the city she would live in, after asking a couple more times she agreed that she would stay in the same city. She agreed that we should do what we can to keep the kids in the same school
She really pushed for the house to sell in march.
For our cars she wants the two year old car, and I get the 10 year old van that needs some work. I said I would take the van if we split the cost of fixing it get it in 100 % working order. She said no we can just sell it then. I said its not fair you get a perfectly working car and I get a old van that needs some work.
We talked about her brothers wedding, I asked if I was invited. She said she didn't know and she could ask but she thinks I am not invited. I said really because I know your family they are open to everyone and if I am not invited then they must really not like me. She said no they have no problems with you. Its because we are separated and when ur separated you do things like wedding with out each other. She also said a wedding is different then Christmas and holidays I said they are family why wouldn't I go. She said she would ask.
She was lying I know she has the invitation and her brother left it up to her who she brings as her plus one. I think her best friend is going in my place to help with the kids. She has no intention for me to be there.
Next was the house she wants to put it on the market in march. I said I wont put it on the market until we have a separation agreement.
So there was no yelling, but she was threatening me that if I didnt co-operate and keep it out of the lawyers hands her dad will take the interest in the mortgage that he was going to split between the two of us and just give it to her. Also she would go after my work pension, she said she wont touch it right now if this goes smooth and fast.
I read a while back that with her personality that I should get away from her as quick and fast as I can.
I realize now I cant stop this, so I need to look at it like a business deal and if I can get my 50/50 with the kids I can agree with the rest.
