I’d like to ask some advice on a particular issue - W has been really pushing boundaries lately. As I mentioned, previously she had been testing my limits on spending and sleeping in, which was jeopardizing my job.
At least now, the only outward rebellion is sleeping late (very late, like 5-7 hrs) on weekends, and simply refusing to get up. Which leaves me watching the kids full time after a long week of working. Again, I watch the kids solo from 6-10 every weekday, and now from 6-1 on weekends.
I have repeatedly stated that this is unfair and unkind. It is also disrespectful. However, I don’t know how to handle this sort of direct - indirect? - disrespect. I can’t MAKE her get up. But it is a significant issue. Thoughts?
I want to proceed with kindness and respect, but mostly kindness for myself and respect of my own time.
