One more thought I want to share as I am feeling on cloud 9 right now....

After all the concerns and drama H reacted with on Friday night, he was able to witness S with his friends yesterday. They played outside together, his friends just adore him, you should see the sweet things they wrote on his birthday cards. They were all respectful and kind to one another, and son was having so much fun, a constant grin ear to ear. And guess who was the most well behaved? That's right.

And who was playing and laughing and enjoying the kids too? Along with putting my foot down if they got a little too crazy? That's me. H watched it all at first, then joined in too with the fun.

I hope he goes home with all of this on his mind. The in your face truth of how S and I are just fine. I hope this will calm some of the neurotic concerns that come from his mother.

Bttrfly, I like your explanation of raising kids. You can read all the case studies and articles you want, but it really comes down to such simple common sense.

Happy Sunday to you all!
