I Picked up My 5-Year-Old from Kindergarten When She Suddenly Said, ‘Daddy, Why Didn’t the New Daddy Pick Me up like He Usually Does?’

She’s a department head in marketing at a big firm downtown — one of those people who thrive on deadlines and presentations and making impossible things happen. I supported that completely.

My job wasn’t exactly 9-to-5 either, but we made it work.

We had a routine. Sophia picked up Lizzy from kindergarten most days since my hours ran later. We’d have dinner together, give Lizzy a bath, and read her stories.

Normal stuff. Good stuff.

We didn’t fight much. The usual married couple bickered about things like who forgot to buy milk, whether we needed a new car, or why the dishes were still in the sink.

Nothing ever made me question whether we were solid.
