I took a day off to secretly follow my husband and daughter – What I discovered left me speechless

“Ruby talks a lot about Molly. Your daughter mentioned it in stories, drawings, and even during singing time

I nodded.

“Ruby talks about Molly a lot”

That evening, after the dishes were done and Ruby in her pajamas, I lay down next to her in her bed and tucked her in. I straightened her hair and asked, “Honey, who is Molly? “

She beamed:

“Oh! Molly is Dad’s friend. “

“Daddy’s friend? “

“Yes. We see her on Saturday. “

“Daddy’s friend? “

I blinked. “Saturdays? What are you doing? “

“Fun stuff! For example, we go to the games room and buy cookies at the cafe. Sometimes we have hot chocolate even if Dad says it’s too sweet. “

“How long have you been seeing Molly? “

She started counting on her fingers. Since you started your new job. So… for a very long time. “

She started counting on her fingers

Six months ago, I accepted a better paying position. It was better paid, but more stressful, and I made a huge compromise: I worked on Saturdays. I convinced myself it was worth it. I figured my husband, Dan, and Ruby would be fine.

For the past six months, I have worked weekends to keep our family afloat.
