Kriston- you have said this before and I took you to heart! For 7 months, DH and I had a weekly breakfast date while DS was in gymnastics. This last Saturday was the first time in 7 months, due to DS's gym time moving, that we didn't do it! I really missed it and so did he. It's a good chance to reconnect about the week and just chat about whatever.
DH and I are probably very similar in IQ, though his mom lost is IQ test results many years ago and can't remember what they were. Our disconnect comes from extremely different family experiences, his split family with years of custody battles, alcoholism and drugs etc. And mine with the total Cleaver household. I do have to constantly remind him that his mom is not a beacon of good parenting and the "well I did it when I was a kid" does not make it right. 4 1/2 year olds should not take the public bus, including a transfer, in Seattle just to get to school.
