[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's being a dick.  He can't parent this morning because he stayed up too late?  WTF.  This type of crap is why I divorced my man-child.  AND  you do all the evening stuff too????  If I am going to have to do 90% of the work then I don't need his lazy ass around. AND  you do all the evening stuff too????

But, if you don't want to end up divorced like me, don't die on this hill.  Change daycares.  Get one that starts earlier, get one closer to your work, get the kids in the same daycare, whatever you have to do to have a reliable drop off/pick up time and protect your job.

I had a lot of experience with finding ways to cope with my ex's refusal to be a fully responsible, participating parent in our family so I am good at making plans like this that will enable me to do what has to be done without him having a role which creates an opportunity to F*uck it up.

But good luck to you navigating the next 15 or 20 years of parenthood with this guy.  [/quote]

OP here, I do all the evening stuff, because he has an hour commute and comes home 730-8pm.  He does baths and books with at least one kid, which is great.  However outside of the bedtime  and taking them to school/daycare three days a week, he is tired, exhausted, neeeds to relax, requires downtime etc.  After every major fight, he is good for a day or 2 and then a new cycle begins.  I am absolutely ready for counseling, maybe i should get him some sort of life coach? or I don't know what, because he is clearly not functioning on the same schedule as millions of other adults and his family.
