Chapter 24 - I Reduce My Travel
I changed my work.
Not quit.
Not become a permanent stay-at-home father because guilt demanded sacrifice.
I reduced overnight travel.
Hired a professional caregiver vetted independently.
Created shared access to school and medical records.
No one adult controlled all communication.
If I traveled:
Pippa knew itinerary.
Knew caregiver.
Knew when I returned.
Video call at bedtime.
Predictability.
She still sometimes asked:
“Camilla coming?”
May you like
“No.”
That answer became less necessary over time.
