This past Saturday my wife said she wanted to take our son for a visit after his karate class and said that no one else would be around, just her. Also, i told her my parents were in town and might come watch our sons karate class.
She didn't show up again. I'm just glad i never tell our son she plans on being there.
When karate was done, my parents took us out for lunch. Nice meal and friendly conversations.
When i left the restaurant, i passed up a bar and saw my wifes car in the parking lot, still way early in the afternoon, so i know what was more important than visiting her only child.
Then i went and visited a friend for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
Sunday, i spent the day watching the Bears game and then took my son to the library and then grocery shopping.
I can not make my W follow through with her planned visits with our son and can not guilt her about choosing being at a bar instead of seeing her son.
She really missed out too. He received his Yellow Belt from the test he took a month ago.
