Yesterday was eldest daughter's 20th birthday. We celebrated at a Greek restaurant and then returned to Voldy's to open gifting and do some "caking",as my D16 refers to it lol. Nice night. That morning D16 informed me, on the drive into her job, that on Saturday night she had left her bf's at 10:30 pm but when the bus got to the LRT terminal the LRT was not working. She did not know how to get home any other way. She phoned Voldy to tell her the sitch and that she would be later coming home. Voldy took a sh*t fit on her. She told her she would not come and pick her up (it was a 10-15 min. drive) and that she expected her home at midnight or she was calling the police. D16 said Voldy kept phoning her back every two minutes and launching into speeches which included things like "you could get raped out there, you know" OMG. Here is D16 lost at 11 pm and Voldy is carrying on like an insane person! What a fruit loop I married. D16 got home at midnight after calling her bf, who knows the bus routes well, and he guided her home. I said to D16 that I wasn't excusing her mother's actions but "you know your Mom, she blows and can't stop herself and then the next day feels horrible and tries to make amends" Sure enough, when I picked D16 up she read and huge...and I mean huge, text from her mother saying she, Voldy, wished she had of handled the situation better and then went on about how proud she was of her daughter finding her way home in a difficult situation etc. Of course, she proceeded to explain why she reacted in such a way...blah blah blah. Anyway, I asked daughter if she replied and she said "no!She always does this Daddy and then we'll have to sit down and have a talk which will last for an hour" So, another awesome parenting moment for Voldy. She's been doing this sh*t since the kids were like 4 years old...and she knows she does it but if you discuss it with her, which I have, she says "then they shouldn't make me angry!" Voldy suucks at being corrected. I told daughter that the next time, which hopefully there won't be, she should call me and I would pick her up. She said she didn't want to because I'd been driving her alot lately. Just another day in the life of Whatis lol.
