[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op Here - Just a little window on the person I have to co--parent with.

I started a new job 6 weeks ago. Stressful job but pays good and thankfully I have a boss who understands what its like to be a single mom.

That said, I took my girl to NYC for thanksgiving weekend and she told me "You are better than toys r us!" Woot woot!

I finally get a bit of me time as she goes to her Dad's place on Wednesday. I got a cold.And it got worse. And worse. But I had a concert I had paid for months ago so I went last night. I'm so glad I did. However, I am still sick.

I woke up even more sick. I was due to get my daughter at 10:30am but I absolutely needed more rest to be able to do the GOTR 5k tomorrow morning with her.

I told him that and went back to bed. No sooner did I get chastized to do better and that I ruined his saturday plans.

Waaa! I've been flexible for that asshole for years and years and years, making sure everyone else was ok except for myself. He now needs to learn to be flexible. I don't plan to get sick.

Fact - starting a new job is stressful, trying to kick ass and still be an attentive mom as well. It's hard. And the stress showed up in my getting a nasty nasty cold.

Maybe I should've not gone to the concert last night. But it had been on my wish list for years so I pushed it and went. Maybe a poor choice.

However, when I see my daughter this afternoon, I think she will understand.  I don't care what her dad thinks and I'm NOT going to let it ruin my day of selfcare.

He can suck it. I don't have a live in babysitter to help me out when I'm sick. I just don't. Hello co-parenting.

"You need to do better". No shit sherlock dad. Captain obvious is aware too. Fact - Change takes time for me to settle into. And that's what's happening now. And boy, he doesn't like it. It eeks into his precious me time.[/quote]

Actually this tells me far more about you than it does about him.

+1000 Actually, OP you sound quite narcissistic yourself. It is not your ex's responsibility to take over for your "me" time. Also, presumably you have "me" time when he's exercising his regularly scheduled time sharing. Expecting someone else to move things around for your issues is pretty narcissistic.
