Hi Jim, it's amusing how your wife heard about the party. Does your wife know you're dating someone? If so I hope she realizes she can't be there alongside your girlfriend....she either has to work to get you back or she has to let you enjoy your time with a woman who wants to be with you. It can't be both ways! There's quite a bit of hypocrisy amongst some of the spouses here on this forum who want to get divorced and yet they expect to still be invited to events, or sleep over, or be friends, or whatever it is.
I'm glad to hear your daughter is ok. I admire you holding her accountable for her actions. I really hope I can be that way with my daughter someday. These are lessons they need to learn to be ready for the adult world.
By the way, I wanted to mention that I did check about a cheap phone for my daughter but they all had warnings on the boxes about cancer and reproductive harm. I didn't feel like I want my daughter handling something like that every day so I held off but I'll keep checking for alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion!
