“But that’s not what happened. We ended up frightening him WAY more than I’d anticipated. He first started running off and then ended up having a HUGE, trembling, crying, adrenaline dump for a long time. I felt really bad, and so did his sister.”
“His mother came home not long after and ended up sitting with him, hugging and comforting him. Naturally, she wasn’t amused by my antics which I understand because–again–I (messed) up.”
It has been a week since the prank, and his wife has been angry at him ever since. His wife is so angry, in fact, that she doesn’t really want to speak to him.
He finally confronted his wife and insisted she “needed to get over it.” He knows he did make a massive mistake, thinking it was a good idea to pull a prank on his son, but he was not trying to hurt him in any way.
He just couldn’t believe how upset his son was after the prank, and he didn’t anticipate that his son would react in that way.
“I also think that our daughter is seeing how she is treating me over it and is being made to feel way too bad over her idea that was just playful; not bad-natured,” he said.
“But she just says that I “should have known better” and won’t seem to forgive me. I get it; she’s always been a complete mama bear. But it’s not as if I don’t love our kids, too. Was my prank honestly so beyond that pale that I deserve to keep being punished over it?”
