Yes, I think she does resent my bopping around the world, but that is part of my job. If I were to take a Swedish job, it would presumably be less well paid, and without as much travel.
D and W just talk, clean or do crafts together (this morning d16 helped cut strawberries for a fruit trifle W needed for school). I am not as talkative, and perhaps a bit more forbidding as a dad, though I love my d16 like mad. I offered to keep her company setting plants a few minutes ago, but she said no thanks. I only wish she knew how sad that makes me, but I do not want to impose on her.
Yeah, low level irritation is a drag - I wish they could let go of it, or express it more directly.
Told d16 about thoughts of taking her to Japan, which she expressed interest in going to, over fall break - we'll see where that leads.
