I’ll look and see my wife is distant and I’ll shoot her a text and say “Grabbing the kids.” We each work jobs that take us different places every day (her more than me since COVID), and so we aren’t able to rely on some set pattern. I’m able to just see where she is and make a decision. Half the time she’s in the car she’s on the phone for some meeting and so I can’t call. It just makes things easier. I can’t fathom why it upsets you so much, but if you wanna chalk it up to America bad, you do you.
