Awkward Situation Got Much Worse (part 3)

[Tate]

Response to W and time with kids...My W is a teacher, and all 3 of our kids attend the school she works at. They go to afterschool care for an hour to work on homework, then she brings them home. They are all home by 4:30 pm, and I get home by 6 pm. Two evenings per week, I go to exercise with a group of friends right when I get home. She used to exercise two of the other evenings. We all exercise saturday morning, including our kids.

My W is in grad school now, so two evenings per week, I do not see her until 9:30 pm. She puts the kids ahead of her work, so she works from the time they go to bed until 1 am, sleeps on couch, gets up at 5 am to work until kids get up at 6:30 am, and they head out to school. I take the kids to school whenever they want to go in 20 minutes later.

My W started on crazy schedules like this when she started working again after 8 years off with our kids. This is also the time our marriage really started going downhill. She has been working 3 years now.
