I had a fight with my wife yesterday. Today, I got back from work, and my 10-year-old son says, “Mom said you’re not my father, and she’s leaving us.” I’m calling my wife, she’s unavailable. There is no dinner, and there is a bag full of clothes standing next to the door.
I’m sitting almost in tears. Suddenly, my wife returns. It turns out that she was at the parents’ meeting at the daycare for our daughter, the clothes in the bag were for charity, and she didn’t cook dinner because the power was out. Our son told her that she wasn’t his mom after watching some movie, and my wife replied that if this was so, then I was also not his father. And after that, she left, offended.
