I told daughter I was just joking to see what mommy would say. She said you are so silly dad. I said no honey I think it is sad that your mommy doesn't care what I do. She agreed.
I'm not an expert, but what the experts (including my own counselor) tell me is that it is not good for the kids if parents enlist them into the battle. To point out that what one of their parents is doing is wrong or makes no sense - that puts a great deal of inner stress on the kids and it's hard on them. Better to let them just appreciate their parents now; just let them see only the good. When they are older they will see more of the truth, but they are too young now. They need to just love love love their parents regardless.

I talked to son and he was so tired he didn't want to talk to much. Then he hung up. I called back. Wife picked up. She said oh he hung up on you on accident. Her and I talked a little. I vented how homework is killing me, and it is so grueling.
She doesn't care, but wait are we not suppose to believe nothing we hear?
Yes - believe nothing they say and half of what they do. Tthat's how the saying goes.
