H called told me that he was under the gun at school, needed to see if he could get coverage for the kids for tomorrow for all or part of the day. H suggested my parents or his sister. I told him that I would check with my parents over lunch and would get back to him after, also told him to check with his sister. After H spoke with sister he called me back, she can take them in the am. I told him that my preference was not to have to get up an hour earlier if I could avoid it, as I have to get up earlier, get the kids up earlier and drive well out of my way to get to her. He agreed, and I told him that I would call him after lunch as wee discussed. Issue: 1 its his own fault that he is behind in school. If he wasn't running around then he could be caught up. Not my fault. I have to do everything around the kids and he doesn't help. Heck when does he think I get a break to do my second job???? (its a night/wkend at home mostly job) 2 My parents could use a break 3 It is inconvenient and expenseive to run to his sisters, but she does love the boys, takes good care of them and it would be nice to talk to her 4 kid time with dad So do I let the world come crashing down or get coverage.
other aside: he invited me to his mom's side's family thanksgiving dinner on Sunday
