I texted her to tell her because I knew a call would not go well. I picked them up from school because she had a job interview, they will now be out until 12/15. My wife doesn't work, so she'll be fine - except she doesn't work so when she doesn't have the kids she is going to be pretty lonely.
You are being a good citizen by quarantining yourself and the kids--props! I've met people who follow all guidelines, only convenient guidelines, or ignore guidelines altogether. As you enter the holiday discussion, remember to listen and take time to consider her words and, if presented with options, what you really want before responding. Remember what you control--you (at all times), your kids (during your custody periods). You don't control her or your kids during her custody periods. She may not choose to be lonely.
