Been teaching d16 to drive, don't they grow up quickly. I want her to learn in a manual but she wants automatic. I cant force her to go the manual as she just wants to get licensed ASAP. She should do well.
D12 went on a school camp to Canberra for the week. W told me in passing that d12 got her first period while on camp.
W is still distant when I visit. om has been at family home 1/2 the time I visit.
Seems w is finding it hard financially. D16 told me of a big argument she had with her mum with w telling her she has to get a part time job. D replied why dont you get one, you're just a single unemployed mum with four kids. W went right off. Crazy isn't it w flys away for weekend and now has reminder notices for power. Power bill still has w & my name on it & d10 said here's a letter for you dad. I knew it was probably a 'power to be cut off imminent' notice and it wasn't for me, w jokingly said yes d dad can have that one. Ha ha ha I thought. Back window of the family car (van) got broken the other night whilst w was out visiting om. This sort of stuff isn't going to help her finances.
W is as distant as ever since her trip away. She said she might meet up with a mutual friend up there. I guessed that she wouldn't and I was right. She would have had to answer some toughtish questions from our friend.
Really not too caught up in what w is up to nowadays, just trying to get on with my life now.
