My husband, Jason, is 37. Our daughter, Lizzie, is seven.Jason has always been a hands-on dad.School events. Bedtime stories. Hair brushing. Tea parties on the floor. He does it all, without me asking.He showed up every day without complaint.So when the garage thing started, I tried not to be paranoid.The first time, Lizzie came home from school, backpack half open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason wiped his hands on a dish towel. &#8220;Hey, kiddo. Garage time?&#8221;Her eyes lit up. &#8220;Garage time!&#8221;I looked up from my laptop. &#8220;What&#8217;s garage time?&#8221;He smirked. &#8220;Private talks. You&#8217;re not invited.&#8221;They laughed and walked to the garage. The door shut. I heard the lock click. The old radio came on.I figured it was some father\u2013daughter game. Cute, whatever.They stayed out there about 40 minutes. When they came back in, Lizzie had a big smile on her face. Jason grabbed a soda as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 7-year-old daughter and my husband started having locked-door &#8220;private talks in the garage&#8221; every afternoon \u2014 and the silence on the other side of that door&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":1002,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34313"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34313\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34314,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34313\/revisions\/34314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
