Sounds like a good day overall. You're right, it does sound shallow and too bad for W if that's what she is looking for. And doubly good for you to not have shown her sympathy last night for failing in school when she is choosing to not study! Grr.
D8 wanting to talk to you shows how you're being a great dad. That's important to hold onto!
