About OW and her parenting skills, I am on your side. She is too liberal and not a good example for children to follow.
I think once OW moves out things will change. Andy will need to do more himself and most likely will have you more involved with the kids. Disagrements about ear piercing should be discussed at a later date between you and Andy with out DD being there.
Andys car, is it too expensive for him considering his income? I hope the car payments will not restrict how much he can spend on a house. I see young people getting in debt early in a marriage and it causes problems with the relationship. MY D34 is in that position now and is in credit counseling for 5 years.
