Tori, Thanks for checking in. The other night, the house was messy, I asked her to help out some nice (nice way) as I was about to go workout. She said she didn't really care (in a nice way). I worked out, showered, and read for a little bit. Eventually I heard her cleaning, so I went and helped to illustrate that I wanted equality, not parenting her to clean up her mess.
Yesterday, I went about my day accepting the indifference, and not expecting much. Left work a little late, and on my way home she calls, "I haven't heard from you all day." Well, nor have I. So she chatted me up about her day and vice versa. At one point, she mentioned that BFF asked her to go shopping with her, but she declined. I asked if that was the reason for her calling, and she playfully said, "No. I dont' have to ask for permission. If I want to go I will." 8) Throughout this whole process, she has further put me in the parental role, by asking if she can do this or that (eg Zumba), and my normal response is that you don't have to ask, but I appreciate you letting me know.
The night ended well.
This morning before we really woke up, she at one point told me to come closer to get her warm (snuggling), "that's my job." I confirmed that's what she said later on. 8) Also, she asked me if we wanted to have dinner out tonight with the kiddos before a Scout event. So that sounds good (for now). 8)
There's some personal insights / questions I want to post up here, but need to get to work. I'll hope to do so in a few hours (lunch break).
Hope all are doing well.... btw, did you ever receive / start the Miracle book Tori?
