Consistency with your answers, in line with how you presented things to them, is the important part.
Thanks Mach. I know it seemed minor to my W this morning, but I needed to ask her whether she intended to tell our kids' teachers in person or if we should send the email I drafted. And it is minor perhaps, but SS last night and again this morning asked if his teachers would know. And SD's teacher emailed me back this morning saying the first thing SD told her was to check her email. We told the kids we would do "x" now we have to do "x". Trust builds upon trust and they will be watching our every move.
W asked me this morning if she could go purchase a mattress. My reply was that she has her money and I have mine... buy a mattress if you want, I really don't care. She lacks enough for a new mattress and yesterday insisted that used ones are gross and she would never sleep on a used mattress.
So today she found a used one that works once she saw the prices of new ones. Guess icky is better than deflated
