I wouldn't worry about them though, as long as both of you love and support them they will get through this just fine.
I hope so. I’ll do my best—just have to let W do her part, and what she does is not up to me.

I spent more time with them and did all my house chores on the weeks I didn't have them. 2 of the 3 are moved out now but looking back I am content that it all worked out just fine.
I tend to pride myself on making the best of bad situations. Looks like this will be no different.
I have given thought to what this will look like in the event everything goes through. That I’ll kill it on grading / prepping / cleaning / whatever when I don’t have them, so I can be fully present to them.
Summers, as well as the various breaks / off-days throughout the year will be interesting.

Some days I don’t feel like it, but I appreciate the props and the confidence boost. Thank you.
