How about you change title of your thread?
Maybe Clever Mothers' Day Disaster or maybe something better more positive?

Thank your for all your good wishes.

I've taken you advice Naej and changed the title of my thread.

On Tuesday I found out from S16 that H had gone away on business over night and left him and D13 in the charge of OW. I already knew that this had happened in respect of S16 but I'm not happy about him leaving D13 with her. She is young and impressionable and I don't want an adultress to become one of her role models.

You will probably all tell me I'm over reacting (and you are probably right) but this is a real and important issue for me.

Well Soon to be graduate \:\)
I am not going to say you are over reacting... BUT
I am going to say pick your battles wisely.
Making a battle over OW being in charge of D13 (including or excluding S16 in equation) could possibly backfire with you and D13, who may see it as a mistrust of her and not what you are intending-ie your concern over ow morals.
Just a thought.
Be realistic is it worth the aggro,
will it achieve anything other than you "letting it out",
will it bring your D home,
will it benefit your sometimes troubled relationship with D13?
Consider all the options before you act in haste.

You have been her mum a good long time now, whether she admits it or you are seeing it at the mo, she carries your values inside of her. Maybe allow her some credit to judge the situation for herself. What actual harm can befall her if ow is left in charge for the odd night?
This could actually be a blessing in disguise.

Your her mum so it is your call just my thoughts as an outsider mum of 3.

What's he done Ali?

I'm tempted to write something like - he can't make you feel anything unless you let him - but with your H, that may not necessarily be true!!

Thinking of you

Congratulations on your degree! You've worked very hard and it has paid off! You should be very proud of yourself. Look at all you've had to deal w/while going to school.

I do hope that you enjoy your Mother's Day. Please do not allow your h to ruin this day for you.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

Hi Snodderly, not Mothers Day in UK, we had Mothering Sunday back in March.
I hope you are ok Alison and enjoy your Sunday anyway.

Going to tell us what he has done now?
Don't let him get to you, stay calm, breathe and pour a glass of wine if all else fails.
