[QUOTE="witzend, post: 626588, member: 99"] with M last evening. He called for M's Day. There [I]was[/I] some sort of story about a gift that should have been delivered and his getting a notice that there would be a delay. Whatever - I just said "Oh. It hasn't come yet". But there seemed to be very little along the lines of BS stories and excuses. He's still at his job in spite of it being a very long drive and not paying well. That's a big deal for him. He just got done watching The Sopranos on Netflix, and says he "understands why I wouldn't let him watch that with me when it was first aired." I know that may seem like [I]nothing[/I] to most people, but I think that is the first time in his life that he ever admitted that a parenting decision I had made that he didn't like at the time was probably the correct decision. So, if a package comes, great. If not, great. I had a good day at my concert, and a decent phone call from M. Win/win. :) [/QUOTE]
