UPDATE I haven't checked in here for probably a few weeks because my parents from Malaysia flew into town, so it's been crazy hectic. Today is also day 257 of Ops No-Jack. Good times.
It was interesting when my wife came to pick our son up from my house the other day: My parents came out to greet her and my dad hugged her, so did my mom. (Nobody had seen each other for 2 years now.) According to my mom, she noticed surprise then sorrow in my wife's eyes.
And then, yesterday my wife came to me and said that she didn't know my parent were visiting for so long and didn't mind our son staying with me during that time. She said, "E should get to know his grandparents more."
I don't know what to make of my mom's observation of my wife. Maybe my wife just regrets losing the relationship with my parents, but not necessarily me.
Also, what my wife said about wanting our son to know my parents more, two things I thought of when she said that were:
a. Sure, you're saying that because you're suddenly feeling guilty thanks to my parents' positive attitude towards you." b. "Of COURSE you want our son to know his grandparents more, especially since you're planning to take him away more permanently to the East Coast, right?"
I know it's pessimistic of me to think those things, but well...I don't know...
