I thank you for your support, it means alot to me. I will think about what you said about the mobile, and I will re-read the 'getting it' in Michelle's DR.
J, as I was writing this post my mobile rang and it was my wife asking me whether I had taken the rubbish from home. I won't read anything into this (I dare not) but she would have known the rubbish was gone when she returned home, so why ring?
I sat here and uttered your wording to her validating my wife for wanting to get my daughter a phone. She told me she had purchased a phone for her yesterday anyway, against my wishes, but I did not engage in an argument I just 'smiled and waved'. Validating her seemed to work a treat as she sort of said 'oh', when I said it was a good idea. My wife then said she had started her 'growing up' changes and thought my daughter might want to talk to her if things started happening, so maybe I should not look too deeply into why my wife suggested getting her a mobile.
I forgot to thank my wife for the smoothie maker and dvd's she got me, should I ring her back, text her or not do anything? She did ask me if I got them and I said yes. I obviuosly need to thank her but what is the best way?
