CV, a very thought-provoking thread. I find many similarities in our sitches.
What I think I heard resembles many of our conversations.
Sorry if I am too blunt...
I only mention it because I used to do the same thing (right down to the parent handbook thing) and even backslide now...
Perhaps leading with, "You were late" was not a good idea.
Peace,
Goldeylox
