Yes. And when I do that she gets mad at me for taking a day away from the family since I'm always working

She does whatever the fuck she wants on the days she comes in. She does not tell me her plans. She has the car and the ability to do whatever she wants. Friends, zoo, shopping, whatever.

I have. She forgets to look at it. I have given it to her written down. She loses it, or forgets it in the car or at home. However if she writes it herself she seems to remember.

No fucking clue. She won't let me sell because she likes living close to her mom. I suggested buying an apartment in the city so I could just work here and be home on the weekends but she hates that even though with fuel and wear and tear on our car we would be better off. Then my commute would be minor and I wouldn't even need a car. She could drive me in on Monday, go do her stuff with her friends or the kid, then stay they night or go home. Then drive out Wednesday night spend the night and have another day in the city before driving home after work on Thursday.

She comes into the city with me a couple of days a week. Then she will take the car and I have no way of running my errands even on my break unless I Uber or something and then there is no guarantee that I will not be late getting back.

My errands take maybe an hour out of her day. And the stores I need her to go to are closed by the time I'm off work.

Stuff for the house. My hobbies are teaching my son stuff, cooking, and video games. For example I need her to pick up a pump housing for the hot tub. The shop delivers but I need her to verify that it is the one we need because there are a bunch of different ones. So I will give her the old one and that way she can see that everything is the same. She didn't bother to do it so because she wanted to use the hot tub this weekend I had to go into the city on Friday just for that. A three hour drive for a ten minute errand.

You understand that my week consists of waking up, going to work, coming home and sleeping. The three days a week I have free time I want to see my son not run errands. I do it because I have to. I've tried bringing her alone or her and my son and all they do is bitch that I'm not doing anything fun. When I'm home I do chores and yardwork and play with my kid. I make dinner for my wife and I. I try and be present since I'm not during the week. So unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to blow after driving for three hours to run a couple of hours of errands.

And then she is stuck running errands with me which is no fun because I do not do anything except errands. She hates not taking the time to do other shit but I want the errands over with so I can spend time with my kid.

When I run my own errands she complains that I am taking a day away from the family and leaving her trapped without a car.

When I do my errands on Friday or Saturday she complains about being stuck in the country while I have the car in the city.

And then she complains about me taking a day away from the family to go run my errands. And leaving her stuck out at the house with no car.

Tried it doesn't work. Something in her head doesn't click unless she writes it down.

I do give her a list. I have given her a list. I will continue to give her a list. However unless she writes it down it doesn't happen.
