She returns from a party given for a European friend tonight, tells me she found a renter for the basement. Mid-March. A nice graduate school couple. She has to redo things, tear out a tub/shower in a main-floor basement to store the washer/dryer, make a kitchenette out of that former space, kick the au pair upstairs, out of her roomy space and into the tiny room I now occupy. This will happen at the time the au pair's parents visit from Germany.
It's going to backfire. Why would she want to put up with a downgrade like that? We'll lose the child care we were hoping to extend through next January for the sake of the kids and for the sake of having something set up for the long summer. It's being handled in the wrong wrong way and there's nothing I can do except voice my displeasure, which then falls on deaf ears.
Our kids will lose their main play area.
I'm terribly frustrated.
