W slept in D13's top bunk last night but neither D13 or W slept well and W didn't set alarm so D13 was running late this morning. W wanted me to drive her to school but it's the opposite direction of where I need to go to get to work and I needed to get in early to make up for my week with the kids when I was going in late and leaving early (folks at work are aware of what's going on and supportive). So I just said this is your week and left.
D13 doesn't understand why I'm not "letting mom sleep in her bed" and W doesn't seem to have my back which is not surprising. So she said she's sleeping in our bed tonight regardless if I'm there or not. It's a king size bed so we can keep our distance but I know I won't sleep if she's there (last night was the worst sleep I've had in a while and I think it's just because she was in the house). I'm ok with being uncomfortable as you all suggest but I also think it might be better for the kids if I stay at the beach house the next two nights and come back on Saturday for kiddo's activities. I have plans in the city Saturday night and can use points to stay at a hotel near my plans as well. Work from beach house Friday/Monday and come back Tuesday evening after work.
No no no!
I’m sorry, but you’re letting her walk all over you.
You made a stance that you’d sleep in your bed, and now you’re rolling over. You’re teaching her that you’ll say the tough things, but when push comes to shove, you’re going to let her walk all over you.
I get that you’ll say “but this is hard for my daughter”, but that’s your wife’s problem.
