3 weeks. Yikes. No stops home at all in that time? I'm sure your W will have her hands full.
I found her comments interesting. My take on it is that she CLEARLY knows how unhappy you are in the R. The "I hope so" comment was a little snotty but really I think she is worried. Has she said ANYTHING about you seeing the OW at these workshops? I find that really odd if the answer is no but I'm not her, so....
Anyways, not sure what to say about the nursing/baby bonding thing. Can't really relate to that either. I never mourned them getting older. Always just looked forward to the next stage. But she clearly feels like you are raining on her parade from her comments. Maybe she is confused why you don't feel the same way? Not sure. You guys are on different planets it seems like with some of these issues. I just don't know what to say about the whole thing. But you'll be in my thoughts. Have a good trip. Stay out the trouble.
