[quote=Anonymous]I'd be really angry. However, unless there are other problems in the relationship, I'd find a way to channel my anger that helped me deal with . Like I'd treat myself to a day off of work sometime in the next month and a massage or expensive hair cut for myself (before, obviously, wrapping up in time to pick up my child on time since obviously my spouse isn't doing it). I find being very, very kind to myself is a productive way to get over it when my spouse does something extremely boneheaded and burdensome to me.

And then I'd sit down with my spouse and tell him we need a plan that ensures pickup always happens on time, and that does not depend on him doing it. Because he's proven that won't work. That might mean he always does drop off so you can go to work a little earlier, in order to leave early enough for pick up every day. Or, if that doesn't work for your work schedule, it might mean hiring a sitter for the days where you can't do it. But he needs to be involved in creating and executing that plan because he is also a parent and if he can't handle pickup he needs to work with you on figuring out how it happens.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this OP. [/quote]
