So W was supposed to pick D up at school today (she had a Drs appointment in town and wanted to have dinner with her). Around 5:00 I get a call asking me to pick up D, as her appt is running late, and bring her to W at Dr. I have no problem with this (I'm doing this for D, not W).
She also says she wants to take her to MIL's after dinner. I tell her she needs to be home by 8:00 so she can get ready for bed at 8:30 (even then she'll not be doing her evening reading) and MIL's is a 40m drive away. There's just no way it's going to work. She sounds upset and says she'll just come by house to see D. I don't like this, and it sounds petulant, so I offer to let her keep D overnight and she can take her to school in the morning. She doesn't want to (40m drive). I guess it will interfere with her busy schedule of doing nothing?
When I drop D off, she barely even acknowledges I'm there, not even a simple thank you for bringing her. I try to make at least some pleasant talk ("You two have fun at dinner") etc, but nope, not buying. I don't even care about this for myself, what the heck is D going to think when she sees her parents acting like this?
