Great job Gabe and sounds like a very good weekend with your son.
Of course your wife thinks you are having money problems. She wants to explain why you suddenly won't pay for stuff.
I think you are handling your son's expectations pretty well. It's hard to burst a child's bubble. The way you have phrased it is excellent. One of these days might be the right time to reassure him that whatever happens he will always be loved and treasured by your ex and you.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
