This is my favorite one, partly because I laughed as I pictured you doing it, and partly because it speaks to the endless diplomatic acts that mark a Mother of the First Order:

» saved us from a needless argument by acknowledging the coolness of a playground we passed, even as I declined to stop there.

Brava!

Hear, hear! But I can’t tell you how many days my list would be just as long but would have nothing tangible to show for it — no soaked beans, no challah dough, no crusty rolls and sticky rice, no freshly picked raspberries. Andy knows that when he comes home to the news that I SPENT ALL DAY “PUTTERING,” he’d better fix me a drink but quick. “Puttering” means I went through stacks of paperwork from the schools (recycling most), I made/canceled/changed appointments, I paid bills, I returned phone calls and emails, I de-cluttered, etc. And still no dinner in sight.

As heart-wrenching as it is to contemplate, our role as parents is to prepare our kids to live without us.

Oh crying is GOOOOOD! It’s so wonderful that he had a tool for releasing the stress (even good stuff can be stressful). If he couldn’t cry freely it would come out eventually in other ways.
he had a wonderful day by the sound of things. I can only imagine the emotions going through BOTH of you.

Yay, mazel tov! Just be forewarned: It might happen again tomorrow, and the next day. Or not, but then again out of nowhere 3 weeks from now. My youngest had terrible separation issues but was always FINE as soon as the moment of separation was over. I learned quickly not to prolong the agony by staying and hugging — I had to just LEAVE.
