XW stated she bought me a Christmas gift, so I guess that answers the question of whether or not I should get her one.
Just to come clean: XW and I have only gone more than a month without ML...maybe once or twice in two years since BD.
I spent the night on Friday (weather was bad). D10 asked where I slept and I said "here." She said, "no...which room?" And I pointed to XW's room.
In the same regard, D4 asked me why I wasn't sleeping there tonight. Telling me she feels better when I sleep there.
Kids are smart, especially the older ones and knowing to ask where specifically I slept. Man, I don't want to mess with their heads and give them false hope.
