My story job 9140 (4)

[Jb9140]

Today was parent teacher conference day for our son whose going from Pre-k to Kindergarten. Got there 15 minutes early and wife was there. I decided to try something different and initiated convo. Asked her how she liked her new place and if the Kids seemed to be adapting. she opened up and told me our 7 year old was acting up and yelling at her and screaming. I tried to validate her feelings, and told her i would have a talk with him when I get him today.

I asked how her family was doing, since shes taking the kids down this weekend to see their new place. she updated me on their new place and gave me a lot of information on her father who is suffering Alzheimers.

when we got into the meeting it ended up being a committee of about 8 women including my wife. I told them, " I had just had a meeting this week with the CIO of a billion dollar credit union, and that I felt hundred more times intimidated at this parent conference meeting with you ladies!" They all laughed including my wife, I think she always liked my sense of Humor.

When we left, I reminded her again that i would talk to our 7 year old, and that I hoped she and the kids had a safe trip this weekend.

I hope I didn't come across as needy, but I don't believe I did. No R talk and didn't ask her what she's been doing since she left.

P.S I was clean shaven, wearing cologne, And smiling the whole time.
