Thanks for the compliments, OCKim, and hey there, M!
Journaling
I had a great weekend with S6, took him to see a movie Fri afternoon, we played and practiced with his bicycle riding Sat, and returned him to XW early pm on Sun. S6 was a bit mouthly over the weekend, so I spent a good amount of time disciplining and talking to him about stuff. Kind of wearing. Makes me wonder if this is just a kid's reactions to D, or if more is happening. I think his time with XW is busy, as when I called at bedtime to say goodnight, he said that he was eating in a fastfood restaurant with XW. Earlier on Sun, She was 30 min late at dropoff, and as I was PO'd about that and worried about what I might say, I merely said goodbye to S6 and left.
I felt like I had dropped the DBing ball a bit there, but I'm tired of her self-centeredness. Lots of past events involving her self-focus bubbled up for some reason this weekend, leaving me with anger. This happening despite me having a few fun conversations with her about S6. One convo included me telling her about S6's beginning "the birds and the bees" questions: S6: Dad, have you seem Mom's private parts? G: Yes, S6, in the past, I've seen them. S6: Has Mom seen your private parts? G: Yep, she's seen mine too? S6: How? X-Ray vision?
I went on to talk to him about M people being able to see each other unclothed at times, then he mercifully switched topics to Star Wars again.
Oye. I believe the tougher life questions have started.
