I'm bummed too that D can't be the water girl b/c of XW's insistence on making everything about me and not about her D. However, I will never talk w/D about her mother's decision, but I think in time D will come to discuss it w/her M herself.
She loves being around the program and at practice this Saturday, she set up water for each girl and coach when we had our break. She was really happy to do it and I can only hope that in time my X will see the value of this experience for our D.
As for the side of beef, I do need to get back into a routine and a side of beef might be the best medicine for me right now.
