During his father's stay, he seemed to be angry at his dad a lot. Yesterday (the last day of his dad's stay), it was one of the only two times that he seemed to be happy around his dad and us. Maybe he felt that his dad is finally leaving and wasn't able to convince him not to go through with a divorce.
I was actually getting a hang on the 180 thing and has stopped the crying and pleading before his dad's arrival. But once his dad got here, it's like I have to talk to him about this all over again as to show the father in law that I am not the one who wants this. I know it's irrational. But I thought, what the heck, I'll DB properly after his dad's gone. haha wishful thinking.
There was too much "I love you" and touching and asking him to reconsider during this period of time. After a long plead during a dinner with his dad, and got no where. I said to him, f#@^K it. I give up.
Then of course I am hardly giving up. shhhh I am going to have to properly DB from this point on. No more trying to do the short cuts. ARRRRGH
But father in law did give a very interesting suggestion. He said, if you move away, then H will be forced to deal with the kid, and he can't move out. I thought that was brilliant. That's totally something not something that I would do and it should fit the 180. That's why I came up with the Singapore gig or a month. I told it to him one day and told him I may need to be posted to Singapore for a month or two. I asked him if he would be capable of handling our son. Him being the I can do it all immediately said sure. I told him that I haven't decided yet. And still ironing out the details with company. Won't know until next week.
