I decided to join the kids at school today. I asked Fabian yesterday if there was any particular class he really wanted me to join and he clearly stated “PE”. So I planned the day accordingly. 

This morning when I shared my plan our oldest response was: “What?! wait?! Once more, are you coming to school today?! No way.”

I replied: “So you don’t want me to join your classes?”

Sam: “Eeeh – no!”

I later asked if I could join woodshop and that was OK.

I, who naively thought that my relationship with my oldest was cool. Stable. And I guess it is, away from friends…
