I had them call. I didn't say anything, just let my 7 year old and 3 year old talk to her.

I am curious, should I have at least said Hi or goodnite at the end?

I was tempted to "be friendly" or as Smileyperson is coining "friendiness".

So by not saying anything, was that too Cold/Dark? Was that being the jerk, not the integrated man (ala the Spellfire Triangle)? Would have just saying have a goodnite been construed as "pursuing"?

Any thoughts/feedback? My wife had complained about how in the past I never talked to her or ignored her, that's why on Mon-Weds I tried the friendly route. Maybe I was too friendly.

Such a tough balance.

I'm really looking for some input here. When I have the kids call to say goodnite, should I at least say Hi or Goodbye? I know it would be the polite thing to do.
