I have a young daughter and I want as much time as possible with her as she is growing up fast. I choose to work three days a week for the money/lifestyle and the adult connections. What I don’t like is giving more time to her father. The time she spends with him outside of her three day care days cuts into my time. He walked out and left us. I don’t want to share her.
Yes, I know these thoughts make me sad/frustrated/angry but changing my thoughts doesn’t get me more time with her. I don’t want any more time away from her.
