H came over this afternoon and I was the only one home.

He came in, did not say hello and asked where everyone was, esp. D17 since it was her birthday. I told him that she had texted him and since she did not hear from him, made her own plans.

Then he left about 8:30. I walked him out thinking I would talk to him and he hurried to get in the car and I said, "You know, when the kids text you, it would be really a good idea if you could text them back because if they do not hear from you, they will do their own thing." THen he said he should have......he seemed in a big hurry, and said bye and quickly shut the door.

S18 came home about 8PM and later on, he told me that his dad seemed very strange--defensive and tense is what he said. I explained to S18 what had happened earlier. Then S18 told me to not bring anything up, its not worth it because I had told him how I felt about things.

The general consensus is that he was defensive and very tense and left rather abruptly. He still needs to know that it is not right the way he comes storming in.
