Today is sons bday. W took today off. I'm not sure what they have planned. Tomorrow I'm taking him to an amusement park/wrestling tournament.
This is what is healthy for your boy. New normal. You spend time with him. She spends time with him. You spend time apart from W which helps reduce her resentment. Give her space to miss you. Enjoy your time with son.
Thanks. Yeah, I guess this is the new normal, and he'll get used to it. Maybe it helps too that with us working, we both couldn't take off the same days. Like for him, it's a new normal, but with a built in excuse to ease the transition?
Still [censored] though. The last few years we've both taken off work and took him somewhere on his bday. But it is what it is. The 4th was tough too. W kept sending me pics of our son playing/swimming with other kids, and kept saying he was having fun. I think I replied once by saying 'cool'.
