I think the cake eating part is her assuming I would drive her and D8 across town in the morning. she didn't really ask me she just assumed it and I'm sorry if it did rub me the wrong way but it did. I didn't cancel my lesson to drive her and I don't think that is a bad thing either. i I had rushed to try and please her it would have been pursuing.

With regards to the concert, I had no problems with the concert itself. They left in the morning and were supposee to be back in the evening. I think it is simple courtesy to inform someone if one is going to be late. At 22:00, I have no news and was starting to be worried. Why? It could be the horrible traffic and the way people drive in general which worried me. I don't know but I am that way. if someone is a few hours late and there are no phone calls, I worry. I believe I did mention in post #2273843 that I was venting.

"That is why I'm here venting now. It's so frustrating to see this and there is nothing I can do about any of it. Is she ever going to realise how selfish she is being? Or am I just judging her again? I don't know anymore. Have I not the right to worry about my D8? If she was going to be that late, maybe she shouldn't have taken her in the first place. What is happening to her? God! I want so much to love her and to support her but she is not helping me one bit now ,is she? Or am I just being unreasonable?"

As it turned out, she had texted me and I got the texts at 6 am. I am glad I didn't make a big deal out of this with her. I came here to vent my frustrations. Right or wrong. With regards to motives, I don't know. I really think that if I had received a call, it would have been ok, but 25, you have seen through me before and I guess you may be right. I wasn't invited. I was left out and I'm not used to this yet. This, in my view, is still my family and I wish I could be with them. You may be right.

On the other hand, 2:30 am for an 8-year-old girl, school night or not, is a bit excessive. Is that me trying to control the situation? Perhaps.

Detachment, detachment, detachment. I know I have to get there. Why is it so difficult? I understand the concept and the reason for it so why?
