Good point. I do agree with the value of the lesson. However I didn’t mention the cancellation to S2 and he didn’t ask about it, so the lesson wasn’t needed in the end. It’s a holiday long weekend here so I admit to questioning the veracity of the whole thing - maybe X had more exciting plans. I had to cancel my own plans and forgo an admittedly much-needed day off from parenting. But that’s not S2’s fault, so it’s okay. We are having fun together. Thanks for the perspective, D.
