Not hearing the wife's side of the story - I can't take sides, but from what was presented, I have to agree with above comments. As a SAHM, it his her job to get the child to school. If she had prior plans, she should have told you. |
How do you recognize posters? Writing style? |
? you've misunderstood my post. |
From spending too much time on a DCUM.
When you've been here long enough you start to recognize certain posters, both writing style and circumstances of their lives. |

OP,
Your wife's behavior is outrageous, frankly. I stay at home with 2 kids and drop-off is part of the job description. If you divorce, custody will be shared - do you think your DD will be OK with her mother when you're not around? (This question, in reverse, is what I ask myself when DH throws one of his crazy fits, and for me the answer is no, not yet, kids are too young). Practice being calm at all times, and fake it til you make it. Your wife wants to get a rise out of you every now and then - don't gratify this narcissistic tendency. My mother was like that. I ended up speaking to her exactly like your DD just did. Look her straight in the eye, and calmly tell her it's her job, and if she cannot do it, she can go look for a paid job or go to the doctor, because her behavior is not normal. |

OMG You are nuts. OP I'm so sorry. The nutty women on this forum will eat you alive! Signed a DW who thinks your wife is angry and if you want marriage to last you both need to get past the anger and figure out what is really going on. GL. |
So, you obviously have no real life! |
And you're obviously an a-hole. |
|
OP, dump your wife and move on with your life. Do the best you can to take care of your daughter whether you are able to get custody or not.
It is unlikely she will change. I've always wondered what makes people marry their spouses when it is obvious that it is a matter of time before the shit hits the fan. One of my colleagues is married to a woman like your wife and life with her is a constant state of drama and volatility. There are decent, stable women around...... |

I'm the poster that recognizes the original poster. How? Not many men who post on here, and he's got a certain strain of anger/vileness that I recognize. There was a post related to his teenage daughter, and as I said, he listens to none of the advice. He does the same in this thread.
I have no doubt that if she randomly refused to drive her child to school while OP is working, that she is in the wrong. But from the other posts, this is an insanely dysfunctional household and the instant post is just a drop in the bucket. |
You'd give off an angry/vile vibe too if you had to deal with a spouse like OP's DW. I already posted in his defense, because I have first-hand experience dealing with a personality like that. If you've never experienced it, you just don't know.... |
Ditto this. So that's at least 4 of us who "recognized" this particular Bitter Benjy. He is an angry little man. |
| OP both you and your wife sound self-centered and immature. Your daughter should dump you both and move in with a kindly relative. |
| Dude exact same situation feel your pain. |
