Just reflecting: When we got home, the kids were all over me. They were both the little monkeys hanging on me that I used to love when they were 5-6. I just soaked it up and played with them and had fun. Looking back now, I think I ruined W’s night because all my validation amounted to nothing. She went to bed right after and I’m pretty sure that’s why. I told her I wasn’t going to stop what I’m doing, but to disregard her feelings so soon after the discussion...Did I just ruin a potential perfect situation?
