Treading water - time and patience

[NYCPeter]

Spent all day with the girls, then cooked dinner and cleaned up afterwards.

I have booked next week off work to do things with the W and girls - we were supposed to stay at FIL's beach house for a few days. I texted her last week saying I'd like to go on Mon - Thurs and got no response.

During dinner tonight - she tells me D9 has a doctor's appt on Tues and she was going out with a friend on Tues night.

I kinda lost it - I asked why she didn't have the decency to tell me what her plans were. I ask when we're going to the beach - her response, well we can go Weds morning and come back Thurs evening. Sure - I'd like a 3 hour drive each way for 2 days at the beach. Totally selfish and deliberately not communicating to me.
