Kaffe - There is truth in what you say, bro.
Country - Could you explain a little more of what you were saying? I'm not all that smart, so I need a dumbed-down version.

UPDATE 7/26 - 6pm
Background: My sister and BIL are coming from DFW to see us beginning Thursday till next Monday (4 days). I had informed my wife some time back that I would like to have our son for all those days; she agreed. Two things to note:

1. This will be the longest she's gone without seeing our son.
2. If y'all recall, she took him to TN for a full week for ID4 celebrations with her family.

So, yesterday when my wife came to pick our son up, and while strapping our son into his car seat, she suddenly asked if our son will be spending the night with me tomorrow (which is my designated night with him anyway). I matter-of-factly replied, "Yes, it is."

Not going to pick her brain over this, but I'm more interested in MY response. My wife has been, in the past, flexible with giving an extra day here and there, such as on Father's Day, knowing that it would be special. At the end of the day, I know I handled the situation right, but I wonder if I could've been more considerate (like let her have extra time with our son) in light that she won't be seeing him for a number of days and going through the crazy stress of studying for Boards.
