This ordeal also got brought up again during his recent family Christmas celebration, which Venus attended. Apparently, it all began after his mother asked Venus if she had Nathan’s inhaler on her, and his brother-in-law chimed in with a snarky remark.
“Careful, Mark might freak out now,” his brother-in-law said, alluding to the parent-teacher conference incident.
That comment immediately took him aback, particularly because he had forgotten all about what happened and thought the situation had been put to rest.
Now, though, because of his brother-in-law’s remark, the parent-teacher conference is fresh in his mind again. So, he has been left wondering if asking his son’s teacher to speak to him, and not his girlfriend, was justified or if it actually just made him a jerk.
Why do you think his son’s teacher was only addressing Venus? Even if it is a “force of habit” to address female caregivers, should that be the accepted norm? What about the fact that his teacher explicitly knew about his custody situation and that he is Nathan’s sole parent? If you had been in his shoes, would you have said something to the teacher, too?
