Mom doesnt work in the type of job that she can chat on the phone. I dont mind waiting until tonight to talk to dad, he is more reasonable anyway. Truth of the matter is that I have been contemplating terminating this family because of constant schedule changes. she wants me available 5 days a week so she can change her schedule as she needs it but doesnt want to pay for 5 days to guarantee my availability which is what I challenged her on. now this.
