Adjusting to being a LBS....

[Subitai]

Today worked on some 180ing by talking more about the kids, asking about an issue with the D. After talking briefly to W, we talked to D together, W had some feedback ("I talked too much, led the conversation, so we didn't really get answers") I agreed with her assessment on that. Too much trying to solve the problem and not actually listening there. Definitely one of my faults.

We have vacation to my family over Xmas, not going to be fun. But I will do my best to make it awesome. Parents are promising to be on their best behavior. Gotta DB like a mofo!

W found out she needs to do a business trip in early Jan. It should be for a week, but she said it wasn't fair for her to be gone that long, esp since she had another activity the Saturday after she would get back. (Over text.) I texted back that it would be fine, we could get facetime for the kids, and that a week apart would be good for us, anyway.

I think it will be good for us. Living in the same house when she still wants the big D is rough. Not even the tiniest sign of being interested on working on the R.
