wife hardens heart-7

[planet]

I gave my kids red packets from myself and my parents on the 1st day of the new year. I wanted them to call my parents to to thank them and also to greet them in traditional wishes.

D4 then blurted out that she can't. It seems that they aren't allowed to even speak to my parents. I just couldn't believe they are warned this way. I can't believe the vindictiveness of XW. I can't imagine what other thoughts and words regarding myself are being indirectly or directly implied.

Other than that, we had a good outing. Waited for the lion dance performance which D4 reminded me that she wants to see over and over again. Got a call from XW later and got the normal spew that D4 doesn't like lion dance, that I hurt D4's fingers during a previous performance touching the lions's furs and that D4 needs her nap. I think the call was to check if my parents were there! The ridiculousness of her argument doesn't surprise me anymore. I just let it go.

Looks like XW is still resentful. My dad gave her a red packet which doesn't seem to have any effect on her. I guess nothing will make her change her stance even a little.
