W works nights, nurse. A while back she would come have lunch with me, but it was more of me pursing, trying to fix a perceived(real) problem. Ocassionally I would take stuff to her early in her shift, but then I would have to come home and go to bed.
What I'm seeing in activities and plans is if it's what she wants to do, it's great, if I suggest something similar, she'll participate, but begrudgingly. If it's with her friends she a party animal, if it's with others, she will be kind of off to herself. It is sad seeing a late 30 W caving to peer pressure. Unfortunately it is showing our kids that morals and standards are thrown out the window when not cool with your friends.
The "lit her up" was not in a good way, truth hurts, especially when given to you bluntly. Am I tired? Yes, it's been a long year and a half. There has been some good change but we're still far of the mark.
Anyhow, I am following your thread, just haven't had much to say. Thank goodness for kids, they give you purpose and resolve.
