I sit here today and can't stop wondering if I should apologize for letting my emotions take over yesterday during the call or if I should just let it be as its in a way a boundary that I'm standing behind. And I honestly felt that she was not trusting my judgement with taking care of the kids during my time. She was pushing her way in again to try and control the situation since they were not with her.
I understand her concern for the children in wanting to make sure they are taken care of and not being taken somewhere that would be a bad place. But we both agreed that we would let each other know if we cannot watch the kids during emergencies. The fact that she blew up my phone in a matter of minutes trying to get me to respond was uncalled for. Especially for the fact that we are not together as a couple in that sense..
I feel the same way towards her wanting the kids to be around certain people, especially around OM..but honestly can I control that? NO. She is going to go and do whatever she wants anyways. She has already showed that to me with her lieing to my face and doing whatever anyways.. I would hope that she will respect my wishes but don't imagine it will happen. And I told her that too, that I have no control over what she does but feel that the people she associates with and works with are not the best to be around the kids.. she of course doesn't see that.
