I asked H if he would like to discuss winter break schedule today or tomorrow. He said tomorrow. This is going to fall under the planning ahead that he hated so much but it is necessary as I have to work and can't cover 14 days by myself.

For the 2nd time in a week I found H crying in car over something on his phone. I did better this time and did not attempt to comfort as I knew efforts would be rejected.
