Had a run in with W on Tuesday night. She was very frustrated and told me I'm deliberately trying to interfere with her time with S11, S17. I'm punishing her as I won't "swap" time with her. If she is not able to be with the boys - I take a day in lieu. That allows me to have the boys for other events etc.
I did a great job - I listened, I validated, I did not get emotional.
I felt great. I invited her to talk about it again and work it out. I was advised that "offering a solution or to solve this issue" won't be received well.
I get it - we'll just have to wait till it blows up again.
