Galnva-
The hard part is the custodial parent v the fun parent. You have to be the artist who molds and shapes these little ones into the fine art and he is the one who buys it and admires it. Not fair sometimes but without you and your most important part, the kids would be lumps of clay. Sometimes at the end of a hard day at work and then rushing home to cook dinner and cleaning it up I too feeling guilty cause I just want to sit in the peace and quiet of my room for a little dreaming that I was the one that had no responsibilities and could be the one to stop at the bar for drinks and socialization. Anyway, just my opinion. Hang in there.
