New to the board, fairly newly LBS from MLC.

Well, he didn't come home as he had announced he intended to do. No surprise there. He sent me an email letting me know, and like a dummy I replied. "Thanks for letting me know. This [censored] and is stupid. I deserve better."

How odd it is to live life with no expectations for positive behavior.

When he came home today I avoided him, gave him space. He did finally call out to me because our bedroom door didn't latch this morning when I came out and one of our cats who "isn't allowed in the bedroom" (she has peed on the bed and is now banned) was in there hiding under the bed. I admitted I messed up and made a mistake and that I would get her out of there.

Then I resumed being dim and doing my own thing. I had some website updates to make so I was working on that when he strolled through the living room and out to the car to get a bag. When he got back upstairs he sent me a message letting me know he liked a video I sent to him yesterday (motorcycle related) and asking about when they have Open Swim hours at the Aquatics Center and how much that costs. Our son is stalled in Boy Scouts and can't advance any farther until he becomes a competent swimmer and can meet the swim requirements... so it's nice to see this priority/issue is still occupying some space in WAS's mind. I was beginning to think we'd just have to wait until next summer when our neighborhood pool reopens.

I sent him the info on the times and prices and mentioned that if there is a weeknight that he thinks would work for us to go regularly I can call ahead and make sure they will let us use the open pool area during that evening's lap swim. (the only real open swim times in the evening conflict with other plans we have).

I left it at that and will wait to see what he does next.
