K had a good visit this past weekend. Much better than the one before. She may not have done her chores correctly again, but at least she had a lot less attitude this time around. Too bad it didn’t last when she got back to residential. This whole week has been reports of defiance, disrespect and things I just can’t bring myself to write about. She wants to call home to try and get me to take sides and gets mad when I tell her I believe staff that she’s behaving badly. We have a wedding to go to the beginning of February, which means she will miss a visit home. She’s trying to guilt me in to bringing her home anyway. I won’t get a babysitter for her because I know she’ll take full advantage. She always does. And I won’t miss this wedding. I missed a wedding in September that I had really looked forward to for months because we were in the emergency room with her that entire day trying to get her admitted somewhere. I won’t know anyone at this wedding as it is hubs friend, but I am looking forward to a night out with him.
Oldest hasn’t called since they came for dinner last Friday and his dad changed the oil and other fluids in his girlfriend’s car. Never got a thank you either. Doesn’t surprise us at all. The next time he calls it will be because he needs something else. He’s in for a surprise. He wants something from us, he’ll have to give something in return, like help his dad with splitting and stacking wood or something. It’s only fair. That’ll go over like a lead balloon, I’m sure. He’ll probably say "nevermind then". Suits me.
