Well, dinner was canceled due to our D17 falling behind on her homework which was confirmed to me from one of her teachers this morning and D13 who was supposed to stay over a friend's house tonight. My W was waiting for her where she was supposed to get off the bus and she wasn't on it. So they are both grounded until they turn 21! I have a new issue I need some help with. My W is very close to my SIL ( my brother's wife) who's in Florida. My W wants to go with our Ds to my niece's ( my SIL's D from a previous marriage) college graduation down there in early May. My W did mention to me she wanted to go, but didn't mention anything about me going. I talked to my SIL today about it and she said my W told her all of us could go together. Before I heard this, I sent her an e-mail saying I didn't want my W going because if we do D, she has to realize there would be consequences, among them losing the friendship of my SIL. She would be enabling my W into thinking nothing would change. I would like it if we went as a family, but I am dead set against her going with just our Ds. My SIL understood my position, but she suggested I bring the subject up at our dinner, which of course, was canceled. My W calls my SIL often, and she lets me know what's on my W's mind and her state of mind.
