More complicated than I imagined...

Good point Frank, thanks. It's possible that has already occurred but I'll keep it in check and make any necessary modifications. I have taken your recommendation regarding makingherhappy.com and have gotten the book as well as subscribed to the newletter.

I have had a few emails back and forth with David Cunningham and his insight is amazing as well as quite sensible.

W called 3 times tonight from Hunter (S8 and I went out to Home Depot and stopped for Chinese - boys night out!) and she left some messages. Called her back just after her last call and she said she was worried because she didn't know where my son was...

What an oddball. Maybe she was seriously concerned about where he was but why would she not simply assume he was with me, and why not try my cell phone? Where dis she think he could be? He's 8, I'm his father, she knew we had plans while the "ladies" were out... Just don't get it.

Did she think I went out without him? duh.

Could be her motherly instincts kicked in when she couldn't reach her child or maybe she just didn't want me to think she was concerned about the boy AND me...

Too much thought put into that already, just very odd.

We had some small talk (I told her about our afternoon/evening and she told me about them getting lost a few times). She asked me to tell S8 "I love him and good night. Or should I call back at bedtime?"

Okay, she's new at this. Not sure why she didn't ask me to put him on the phone. So I asked my son if he wanted to say goodnight to her now or at bedtime... he took the phone, they spoke for a few moments and then they both hung up.

She didn't ask him about his evening, didn't ask about what the rest of our plans were. Could be she was distracted by the other ladies and all the kids - I think there are 9 kids and 5 women.

I'd like to think that her worrying caught her off guard and she got a little flustered by it all. Who knows. Gonna let it pass.

I was actually tempted to call her back and bitch about how inconsiderate it was for her not to say good night to me - she makes a point of doing it every other night. Who cares? In the scope of battles to fight and battles to drop, this is definitely not that important. It bothered me but I'll get over it - mostly have already (hate feeling needy, damn it.) More importantly, it was pretty damn inconsiderate to have the EA to begin with!!

Bah!!
