[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's how I read your original post. I am super impressed that you are a big enough person to admit all of that. A bitter, angry person would never admit that the new wife was better at anything. So, I'm impressed.

You know that tells me? You're a good person and probably a good mom. The fact that the new wife is nice to you is great for your kids, so kudos to both of you. And I'm certain she would not be very nice to you if you were nasty to her, so a huge pat on the back to you for not being awful to her. That must be very hard to do. regardless of the circumstances.

I'm glad you can express that all here anonymously. If you were my husband's ex, and you said just a fraction of that to me, well, it would make me feel like ten million bucks. Not sure if you would consider that, but imagine the impact on your kids if you and their stepmother were friendly (rather than polite) with each other.

Way to go all three of you. I think you are setting a great example for your kids and for other parents. It is okay to be jealous. But you are dealing with it. [/quote]

+1. This is also how I read your post. I think you're being too hard on yourself. Sounds like you were very generous in allowing dad to have weekday custody b/c you thought (knew?) he'd be able to give them more one-on-one parent time. Very giving to them and to your DH.

I read your post and admire it.
