Well, our son is 1/4-way into his visit with mom. He's in SC all of October and another 10-days with my wife's parents in TN.
Skyping has been helpful, but mom has been behaving almost inconsiderately in terms of making sure that our son gets to talk to me consistently.
a. Last week she "presumed" that I'd be calling our son 3 times only, even though I specifically wrote her that I'd Skype 3-4 times per week. I called on Friday for the fourth call, but she said that she thought I'd only call 3 times and that she and our son were out.
b. Yesterday when I Skyped with our son, she had a movie playing loudly in the background, WHILE my son was eating dinner AND I was trying to talk to him. Needless to say, our son was in distraction central. I don't know where my wife was, but it would've been ideal if the movie wasn't on in the first place. Sure, children get distracted when they chat online, but this was ridiculous. I'm going to make sure she doesn't do the same today.
