Out of In house S- Start of two homes (10)

[vise82]

Hey,

So I spent some time yesterday lining up care in the morning to get my kids to school on the days I have them. W was the one that did that. Her work day started later and I have an early start to the day. But my early start allowed me to pick up the kids after school.

So after looking after three options,
- Change work schedule and drop them off at a early morning drop off at the school
-- don't change my schedule and drop them off at a in home daycare and they would take them to school
---Have my babysitter arrive early at my new house to look after the kids before school and take them to school.

All the above are an added cost to me as W put in the S agreement that any cost to before school care was to be paid by me 100% as she starts work later and if the kids were with her it would be no cost.

I choose option three. Least cost and kids stay in their own house.

I tell W this morning and then she cant believe the sitter would wake up that early.

Then she asks me if I want to pick up the kids after school on the one day she has to work late and she has the kids, or she would ask the same sitter or her parents (who live 1/2 hour away) to pick them up after school.

So it times like this that I think and why are we separating? Why have the parenting schedule that is going to be changed anyway. How is this best for the kids? It takes two people to look after the kids why don't we just live together? Basically I am replacing something W used to do by paying a sitter to come in the home and help with the care.

So I am thinking that I will take her after school day if she will take one of my early morning before school days.

What will she say about that?
