thanks for validating my New Years disappointment!! Neither of my girls was particularly upset and they rarely are by things H does or doesn't do. They seem to be able to shrug things off pretty well. So you are right, this is MY issue not theirs.
My role as the stable parent is to watch for and be there for those times when they are upset or not able to overcome a disappointment of their own.
And when I read up on other situations at least H is still sort of around for the girls, he hasn't ridden off into the wilderness never to be seen again like some do.
So...reset and keep going!
On a brighter note I took the girls to Cirque du Soleil last night - Cirque has come to town before but we have never gone coz H doesn't like "that sort of thing". But the girls and I all loved it, it was amazing!!! And D11 was still buzzing with excitement over it today when H called to pick her up for the weekend. Nice of her to be all excited to him about my GAL activities!
