W called this afternoon to talk to the kids. She never calls Saturday afternoon to talk to the kids.
My son tells her that I don't give him enough snacks for lunch. After he is finished talking to her, he tells me that she wants to talk to me.
Now this has happened many times in the past. He will tell her something like that and she will get on the phone and lecture me about how I take care of the kids. It's very annoying.
This time she says to me "S8 asked me to say he told you "like a billion times" that he needs more snacks in he lunch" She kinda laughs while saying this. My reply was that I've told him many times that when he starts to eat his sandwich, he won't need more snacks. W found this to be quite funny.
I talked to her for a few more minutes during this time she giggled and laughed a few more times and then I put D6 on the phone.
I left the conversation really feeling a difference in how we are interacting.
