[quote=Anonymous]I can guess what  happened to your DH.  His co-workers flexed about what their kids are achieving and how much they are involved in their lives.  DH felt foolish because he had no idea what they were talking about.

Your DH is competitive and he had no stories of traveling on the weekends with his kids to another city  so that Larlo/Larla can compete in  Robotics/Rubik's cube/chess/debate competitions/Science Olympiad/Math Olympiad/Bioinformatics challenge/Model UN/Enviornmental challenge/hackathons/quizbowl/solar-vehicle buildup/cubersecurity competitions. The coworkers shared stories of making those crazy flights, best places to eat, hotels, how to lug back the big trophy without  check-in baggage etc is making your DH feel that he did not do enough with his kids and he is behind others.  Also, now people are talking about SAT/ACT, NMS, APs, College applications and maybe he has realized that if he does not put in the time, your kids are not going to have a great outcome.

Once upon a time, we went to the Awards ceremony day for my own DD at ES.  DH, who is a very laid back and  chilled father, took notice of all the awards being handed to other kids (DD also got some) and had mild FOMO for most of the awards except "perfect attendance".  [/quote]
