Another LBH (not kinda) pt. 5

[Rose888]

I know you've gotten many people's thoughts about telling her "You're welcome," but my initial reaction is one I don't think anyone has posted yet (although I might have missed it).

A person says, "You're welcome" in response to someone thanking them for a favor they have done for them. If someone gives them a compliment, they usually respond, "Thank you."

Are you showing up for your kids as a favor to your wife?

Or are you showing up for your kids because you have decided that's the kind of dad you want to be?

I hope for their sakes as well as for the sake of your emotional detachment and differentiation, that the answer is the second one.

And if it is, either ignore her or say "thank you" and move on.
