This morning though I thought, well, there is just so much 'new' stuff that happens with the kids (they are still so young and everything they do is almost a 'first' still on a certain level), and I wanted to share the highs with him too...not just the lows. So I texted him what D5 did (it was funny..I told some of my friends as well and they LOLd), and I got absolutely nothing in return. I didn't necessarily expect a response, but just thought wow...he is one tough cookie. I mean if he can't rejoice in the little pleasures that make up childhood and parenting, maybe I should only leave my interactions with him with about the kids' 'problems'.
Mind reading here but if I walked away it would hurt knowing they are growing up and I chose to leave them. Could be seen as pressure, I wonder if you asked him if he likes getting them and wants to continue to receive them what he'd say?
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
