Steve_ Facing reality Part 1.

For as much school as they miss I’m surprised they haven’t received a truancy letter. Just as FYI, you’re just as responsible for them attending school as she is. I don’t believe you’ve got a custody agreement in place with the courts. But I know you said you’re covered in the past, so maybe I’m wrong.

You’re assuming she’s mad about seeing the picture. She could have been up all night talking to another man having a fantastic conversation, over slept and was annoyed you woke her up. Well unless of course she told you she saw it, and was angry. But you don’t say that.

Refusing to attempt to co-parent and not call her when you know for a fact your kids aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing doesn’t do anything but make it look like they have 2 parents that don’t care. The school called you, they are attempting to keep you informed and involved and your solution because your wife hurt your feelings is to stop trying.

Back to the picture, even if that’s why she had an attitude, that’s no reason to stop attempting to co-parent. You don’t stop trying for your kids because someone was mean to you. Not to mention you’ve gone off the rails on her for the same stuff.

Steve, I understand you’re hurt, but you’re not a victim anymore. It’s not her job to be polite, kind and sunshine’s and smiles to you. To me it comes off like you are attempting to manipulate (nice) her back into the marriage and still haven’t dropped the rope. You both are playing a cat and mouse game and your kids continue to suffer the consequences. Again they didn’t attend school and you’ve done nothing about it. Call the school, call your lawyer, do something about it.

I’ll let other comment, this is just my perspective and I’m sure others have a different one that may be more accurate
