So, the week-end just gone.
Neither she nor our son is very well.
Wake up Saturday morning, get breakfast together, take him to his violin lesson. Do the shopping for lunch and dinner, pick him up, get his hair cut.
Do lunch, spend the afternoon with homework and then dinner.
Sunday. Clean toilets and bathrooms - as usual - but she has made a miraculous recovery and wishes to drop our son off at a birthday party at a mall.
Relationship friendly and so I am asked whether I want to go as well - I say 'yes'.
We drop him off, have a very nice lunch at a restaurant, pick him up, come back home.
She is ill again.
More homework and dinner.
Next morning she is ok again - though I accompany them to school so I drive.
Will I get a 'thank you' at any stage? Don't want one, don't need one - but where is this great 'appreciation' that I so sorely lack?
Mother's Day next week. I will get a card but nothing more. Will she expect more?
Situation stable. Even pleasant. How long will this last.
