I've noticed an interesting pattern lately. The more I withdraw from SS13 and push DH towards more of the parenting, the more SS13 seems to reach out to me.

I've had a non-existent and slightly irritable attitude toward him the past month and have focused more on getting DH to step into the parent role. Now i see SS13 reaching out to me more.

Last night SS13 even through out an "I love you guys" and a "good night Step Off, Good night Dad" before bed.

Who knows if its real or just him trying to make me and his dad happy by playing along, but I prefer it to the "I hate you's" or the "your the reason my life is so horrible" that have previously been dished out.

Anyone else ever see this?
