Neither child has said anything about our M. I've not asked them either.
I thought the thesis thing was okay - I felt like I made my point, without things escalating, and we actually ended up talking about how what I do now is not at all related to what I did for my thesis (d15 was there, so maybe this was useful for her to hear).
Yes, I could ask about what d15 things about our M. Do you think this would help things?
I gave d15 another backrub earlier and watched a few episodes of the Office with her, she with her head on my shoulder, wonderful. She made a nice dinner and will make breakfast tomorrow (the women seem to want to keep me out of the kitchen this week, W probably because she wants nothing from me).
I like PM's advice to do the right thing now - the thinking or feeling what that is keeps me on track. I think the next thing is to ask them to properly latch the windows - we need to stop the drafts in this old house, and they have an annoying habit of only half latching them (and yes, I know this is a completely reasonable request that I have the right to make).
Thanks,
Luke
