Yeah, mvg, let's talk about that full time job and the two part time jobs. Is there any way to change that? Can you get a raise or a promotion in your FT job so that you don't have to work the two part time jobs anymore? Could you downsize your lifestyle to make that happen? Or do you have an extra bedroom that you could rent out to a grandmotherly type in exchange for help with things like laundry and cooking, to free up more time?
I assume you don't have any family near that could take the boys for a weekend or give you some help in the evenings?
And while you talk about your envy of people who have a functioning coparent, how has your situation affected the women you date? Is it actually an issue for them? What's the current girlfriend like?
