It really rocked his world and I'm not kidding when I say that a minute later he's wildly looking around for our other daughters. I could see the hamsters spinning in his noggin and the realization: Hey! They're still young!!
This is hysterical! It reminds me when I told my H I was pregnant and he bolted out the door and circled around the house a few times in a frenetic way, trying to figure out in a moment's time what needed to be done!
Anyway, issues with D14 seem to have calmed down; now S12 is acting up and stressing us out. I probably should seek out a parenting board but I'm attached to you guys here..I mean, you have followed the intimate details of my sex life with a lot of heart and wisdom. S12 is a warm, affectionate child who loved lots of TLC from me...I probably received too much emotional fulfillment from him when he was a child, with H being the outsider; the dynamics have now shifted, with H stepping in more, me backing away, H and I becoming more team-like, and S12 becoming more teen-like ( enneagram-wise, it's hard to pick a number for him, he's a mix of 4,6 9...if I had to pcik one I'd say 9). This sweet child has a stubborn streak like no other and provokes the daylights out of H and I get caught in the middle. It's confusing and I need to sort it through, but perhaps this is a good sign, that I am less preoccupied with my sex life and more focused on the kids.
