[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the father has minimal custody (like over the summer or a few times per year or less) and doesn't really help financially. Otherwise you are a coparent. Hell, "single parenting" 50% of the time sounds like a freakin' vacation compared to my life. I fantasize about it often. [/quote]

You have a full other human in your house and you think she has it easier?

Let me guess “mental load”?

Too controlling?
Go to the gym girl and work that out the kids will be fine alone with dad.

Queue the bemoaning … but they won’t get veggies with dinner trooe.[/quote]
LOL, yes. I do. I am the primary caregiver. I have almost zero time to myself. Having 3 days/week where I only have to feed myself and am not dealing with my SN kid sounds glorious with where I am in my life right now. I would love to be able to piss without my kids starting to scream at each other. I would love to wake up and get ready for work in the morning without feeding 2 kids and making 2 lunches while constantly doing conflict resolution and managing my SN kid's emotions 100% of the time. I would love to be able to go out with a friend at night every once in a while instead of being home because DH has a demanding job. Glorious, I tell you. [/quote]

Stop being so controlling go out 3 nights a week and go to a gym it's fine.

and... why do you think the single mom in OP's scenario doesn't do all the mental load. [/quote]
