How To Treat Spouse With Children

[CanBird]

I am DB’ing hard, but I wanted to know what the conversation looks like though when we only webchat with our young child. She is always holding the phone, etc. so she is there and tries to communicate.

I have been going dark with everything but this conversation. Any advice?

Hi HrtHsbnd. I have a d3. That's great you webchat with your child. It's all about them during these chats. My H is at sea/working until November. Communication is very sparse at the best of times. Do you have visits with your child? In my opinion, the conversations should be the child & parent. And as a parent, I'm guilty of helping or being an interpreter for d3, because she's young. Take a deep breath, remember how much you love you kid, listen...listen...listen smile and tell them you love them. Your proud of accomplishments big or small and they are always in your heart & thoughts.

Treat spouse as a friend or relative. Be pleasant; kids notice everything.
