Believe it or not, ladies...WK has been showing the qualities that I like about him more and more lately. He took our daughter to her event earlier this week, with nary a squawk in the wind about it from him OR Beast (who was informed that she was dropping them off; one adult per student was all that was allowed, and, stunningly, there were no arguments ), or slinging mud at me for not going. I had school, happening at the same time (daughter's school kept changing the time of the event, which ticked off a lot of people). And they had a terrific time just hanging out together. He'll never get Father of the Year, but he's getting better.
On the personal-interactions front.......He's called me a couple of times, just to talk. That, I had to put a stop to, because it's not worth it to me. It feels like a lie. Mostly, I think, because he waits to call till Beast is assuredly going to be gone for a few hours -- it feels like he is being sneaky, and I don't want to be the sneak-ee!
