Part of this whole thing is understanding that I am not the only one with opinions and wants. I don't want him to have a bike but the reason is not directly related to him. He has a point...why should he give up something he wants because of something that happened 34 years ago? If this is something he wants and it will make him "happy" then I am willing to release some fear and see how it goes.

He is very correct in that this has been more of a one sided relationship. I wanted a dog, he didn't....we got a dog.

He has asked what I had planned today. I told him since it is supposed to be an awesome weekend I wanted to get the kids out of the house. Time to figure out what we are doing today!
