I don' think you backslid at all (IMO). I think you stood up for yourself, and your kids. The call was necessary---because the electronic cr** sometimes just makes things worse. It is impersonal and with no emotion it is very often not received in the spirit it was sent. Since the relationship beteween H and I has been pretty much only electronic (Per H's choice) I know this is true.
Have a great time! I hope your D has the best day of her life!! ............and...........what is an euchere tournament??
On another note, my D15 has been waiting for her boyfriend to ask her to prom. Is hoping for a romantic invitation-----since he has to live up to his invitation to courtwarming. We were sitting at D12's bb game last night and she showed me her hairy legs. I said jeez..........maybe if you shave your legs, you'll get invited to the prom. So.........I shipped her boyfriend a text and asked if he would ask her to the prom if she shaved her legs.(D thought that would be really funny) He answered back that he would consider it.......and then asked if he could ask me a question. I said maybe............he asked me to talk to D because she was very upset about what is going on with her mom and dad......ughhh.............I thanked him for his concern, told him I was always very open, and there wasn't really much to say-----but I did talk to her briefly on the way home. Boyfriend is a really good kid, but I watch them and see them following H and my footsteps, and I worry..........
Have a great trip!!
