Gratz to you and the kids on such a great trip FIB.

Do a good job over this next week modeling for your wife proper parental behavior when the other spouse has the kids.

Because you're absolutely right, your kids KNOW you love them. And, I might add, you KNOW they love you.

I don't think I've ever called either of the boys when they were with their Mom. Of course mine are older than yours, but the principle is that this is their time with Mom. They know you're still around, and if they get to missing you HOPEFULLY your wife won't play games with letting them call you.

And if she does, grit your teeth because there's probably little to be gained by trying to do anything about it.

Your hope is that if you can continue to maintain the high road in your dealings with her, perhaps time and distance will enable her to one day reach the point where she can behave like a proper parent/adult too.

And happy birthday my friend. I'm not that far behind you.

We're just getting better...believe it!


Blessings,

Bill
