He asked my why I did not take him - I told him it was his mums night - that's why

I don't want to beat a dead horse, however, I think it is upsetting to read b/c it looks like a mean thing to do to a kid. I think you went into telling your son about the things he missed.........not to tease him (as you called it). You are trying to compete with your W! I have mentioned it before, and you must stop it or you will become your own worst enemy.

I told her that I hear that it may have looked like I was teasing him - but that is the reality. And our lives are going to be full of missed opportunities because of "the situation".
That is true, but you punished your son for something he can't help. You made sure your W heard you telling about your great time.......b/c it's really her that you want to say, "See what you are missing?".
Please, stop competing!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
