Last week Tuesday H and I had lunch to discuss some stuff. I posted about it. He told me that he was annoyed at me for getting irritated with the kids whenever they asked to speak to the ow on the phone when H calls them to say goodnight.
I believe he was right. The kids should not be put in the middle.
Today S5 was on the phone saying goodnight to H, S5 asked where ow was...I heard but kept going on about my business. S5 kept asking H stuff about where H and ow were ...then all of a sudden I heard S5 say to H, 'wait a minute I have to go and tell mommy'. He came over and said, 'mommy, daddy and ow are in the hospital !' I reacted saying 'really? what happened?' then S5 told me that ow's grandma and grandpa were in hospital, so I said to S5, 'oh that's sad, tell daddy you wish them well and that hopefully they will be better soon', it was sooooooooo cute, as S5 told H exactly that and when he finished he said 'oh and the same goes for ow's grand dad of course...'
Well, I was happy that I hand't made S5 uncomfortable about telling me, and I know H heard my voice and could tell there was no anger or irritation in it at all.
A little step in the right direction again.
