I hope you're not reading that I'm leaving kids home alone. I still life with my W. If I'm going out that night, she's there. I'd never leave them home alone.
No, I didn't infer you left them home alone. PS - I DO leave my kids alone sometimes!
Just suggesting 1) a cute, handwritten note takes just a minute and directly tells your little ones you're thinking about them and how they can reach you, and 2) I'd aim to disappear in the middle of the night no more than your "partner", so your kids can rely on you equally in the middle of the night.
Gotcha. Good points there. I like the notes ideas. It’s been tricky navigating the GAL at night. The kids know about me going to the gym after they go to bed midweek and have no problem with that.
My W really has toned down her night events - which were almost always midweek right after work: “catching up on some work” or “work group dinners.” Since she knows I’m very suspicious of her, I believe she’s taken her A deeper underground by having their encounters early in the morning or immediately after work. The occasional really late nights occurred leading up to the BD.
