Just checking in. Got a lot on at work so occupied most of the time. S has a foreign exchange student staying with us for ten days. She is a nice girl and they are having a good time. W has decided that she wants to meet her and started texting our family group and me individually. She has clearly noticed my NC because she says if you don't want to see me can I take them out for lunch? She also proposed the 4 of us going out. She then texted me to say things can't go on like this, I'm his mother I have to see him sometimes. I haven't replied yet for two reasons. Firstly S has made it clear he doesn't want to have lunch with her. I asked him to communicate directly to her but to try to be kind. Secondly it is very likely we and other host families will all go out for the day together. W won't be part of that group given the circumstances. I understand her frustration but she is stressing me and S. She chose her path and we can't play happy families when it suits her. I spent last night taxiing the kids around , I bet she was having an evening out with OM. I'm planning meals etc for the kids while she can do whatever she feels like, no responsibilities most of the time. Sorry just venting!
