My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

I spoke too soon. D14 told me about spending the evening (until 10:30--on a school night!) running an errand for OW.

and then about another conversation she had with her father; he wants her to take some steps toward becoming friends with OW. She's not having it. at all. Seems xH wants to drive to St. Louis to visit his brother and family, taking D14 and OW, but doesn't think they will survive 3 hours in the car together.

I told her she didn't have to be friends with OW, nor with anyone she wasn't comfortable being friends with. But that she should be polite and respectful. "Why?!" she asked. "Because that's how you were raised." "Oh. I get it."
