Thanks for the advice AnotherStander I will stay the course.
I’ve got another situation regarding validation for you. So last night I was in the kitchen, my W asked me to heat up some left over pasta for my son. I did so. When I brought it to him in the other room I said “careful it’s a little hot”. My W got upset all of a sudden and said something along the lines of “why did you heat it up for that long it’s too hot for him to eat!” She wasn’t yelling but was definitely upset. I responded in a calm voice: “are you really upset over this? Just wait a minute and it will cool down”. I was of course correct and she and the baby had some bites no longer than a minute later.
Looking back at this I wonder should I have validated and agreed? It just seemed like such a ridiculous thing to be bothered about to me. Should I have responded by validating and going to run cool water over the pasta?
