Hi vanilla, thanks so much for the reply - I'm going to go over my shortcomings and list of W gripes and make sure that following all "the rules" does not mean more of the same. Also going to check my 180's are still relevant and for me.
Tonight was interesting in the MH. At changeover really good chat about weekend etc and then out of the blue W mentions old pram in the loft - won't be needing that in future etc. Also then get onto talking about changing childcare days to suit her next year. I simply said we'll have to talk about it. I know she will be awkward as hell and want all the arrangements her way so it suits her work. I'm not prepared to do that since she made no concessions to me for extra time with kids when I've previously asked. She even launched into the defensive with a story about "we" agreed she would go part-time to look after kids??? AFAIK there is no WE anymore!
I'm getting the feeling she must have felt the need to do some button pushing, since the interaction was pretty positive. I guess she is trying to justify what she is doing - still giving MLC entitlement messages I think.
