At dinner last night, I realized a bad habit that I have taught my daughter. Her bf helped her color her hair yesterday. At dinner, H noticed it and made a comment. D said, "Wow, I can't believe you noticed! I usually have to ask you if notice anything different." H said, "I'm sorry I said anything." Even though he tried to sound like he was joking, I know that he was hurt. I am ashamed that I have taught my daughter to make comments like that. I think I have been much better in the last few months, though. I spoke to d this morning. She now understands how much better it would have been to simply thank her dad and leave it at that.
