Thanks 25, your post was very well stated and had some good advice. I appreciate it a lot. And no more score cards.
D14 and I made dinner tonight and had a lot of laughs. D18 has been moody today and decided to go for a drive to the beach to see the sunset. About 10 minutes after she left she called D14 to apologize for not staying to have dinner with us. That's new for her, she has been self absorbed lately.
D14 and I had fun making pasta, salad and other things. During the cooking she said how she likes making dinner here with me because our kitchen has enough room for two people to work in it and that the condo doesn't so she doesn't get to cook with Mom.
D14 likes to cook, and watches the Cooking Channel all the time and likes to show me her 'expertise'. I even told her that since she cooked, I would do the dishes.
We had a good sit down in the living room and talked about her favorite subjects: Transformers and Kingdom of Hearts characters.
