I know! God, your face!

Yeah, right, your face.

But you two are arguing a lot

Yeah, well we're just working

Look, Dad,

good step-mothers are hard

Please, don't blow it.

That's all I'm saying.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you enjoyed
everything.

And...that's yours.

See you next time.

It's a bit
of a quiet one.

Yeah, makes a nice change.
As long as it's not every night.

Yeah.

Mate of mine's having a party.
Fancy coming along?

Mm...
I don't know.

My husband's
not exactly thrilled

about my late nights.

I've got a pick-me-up
that could keep us going.

I don't mind what you do
with your own time,

but I don't want that stuff
on the premises.

-Thought you liked to party.
-I used to.

Hi.

Is Maddie here?

Don't hassle her,
okay?

[Chuckles]

What's it got to do
with you?

Maddie and me are really close.
Like, really close.

Bindy.

That's enough.

Bye, babes.

Come on through.

Got your message.

What's this about?

Well,

I've been thinking
about it,

and I'm prepared
to compromise

and let you have Max
one day a week.

-What?
-And every second weekend.

That's fair.
Oh! You think?

I'm trying to be reasonable,
Jesse.

No, you're doing
what you always do.

Bullying me into agreeing --You're the one who left us

in the first place because
you couldn't parent Max.

You're the one
who abandoned him, not me.

You really don't get it,
do you?

I didn't leave Max,
I left you.

I stopped loving you.
