No worries, Steve, about the early post. I just don't have a single vibe in me wanting another woman right now.
With S5 sick, I had to juggle some things to help watch him today. Lots of fluids and cartoons this afternoon/eve.
At dropoff, W was a bit stand-offish. Snapped at me for not paying her babysitter (she's responsible for childcare/babysitting costs in the D agreement). She never asked me outright to pay for her, so I let it roll off my back. A few positives were W showing concern for my father's health, and for using "we" when I vented a bit (bad DBing here) about a salary-related problem. She even said, "How can they be scr@wing us like that?" Maybe she's just seeing my money as hers.
I saw more hardness in W tonight, like MIL had helped her to stoke her anger and add a few additional locks. Yet W did have some pointed questions about my career developments as if she was trying to defend me to her parents or at least answer their probes. I have taken a stance against providing info unnecessarily to those busy-bodies.
