I hope it went well. I say you did very well, up until 1 point - so you get 10 points for part 1, and lose 2 for part 2
Quote: I reminded him S goes to bed at eight (I prolly shouldn't have said that). I told him to call me when he was ready to come, and he said that he sure would, and we hung up. It was odd to have such a polite conversation when I felt so insecure inside.
1 - you set boundaries - very good 2 - you were able to get thru it and put up a cheery front at a bad time - also very good

I sat and thought for a couple minutes, then sent him an IM that said "If I don't hear from you, can I call you after 6:30 to see where you're at (work-wise, I meant), so I know how to stcucture the Munchkin's evening?
ok maybe only minus 1 pt - you had sort of agreed on that on the phone (sort of) so the IM was pushing it, but you probably would have said that on the phone if you had stayed on.
Ok grasshopper you get a 9/10. Next time only the phone or IM (dont worry I am a hypocrite I did the same thing last night - got off the phone then txt messaged something else). Resist and let go.
You did well. I hope your evening proved this too.
Bill.
