Getting back to what works:

1> Husband came upstairs to tuck me in and say goodnight, before he went back downstairs to hang out with his cousin.

2> He hugged me from behind and nibbled on my neck.

3> He held my hand while we chatted with his cousin.

4> My parents took Cousin and I out to eat at Chili's. They paid our way and Cousin munched on a huge steak, making happy noises the whole time. (Husband still at work)

5> My parents took Cousin by Publix so he could get himself some food, solving my hostessing uncertainty.

6> My parents were wonderful with Cousin. They teased him, made him laugh, listened to him and helped him feel special. I felt so much better with them there!

Hugs all.
