That does suck when you use the nuclear option on something you you wanted to do as well. You do have the option as a parent to change your mind. I hope your move is going well though it sounds like there might have been a small toll. - Jason Shellen

In 10 years he'll find this in the next version of the wayback machine while searching for stuff about dad. He'll be amused and vaguely remember why he was upset except now, he'll be able o verbalize it like an adult and you'll both laugh and watch Wall-E together again for the 27th time since July 4, 2008. - Erica Baker

He's only 6, unless he committed a capital crime, perhaps forgiveness is in order. And a movie. - Steve P
