Our long weekend visit with SS10 ended today. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, but he didn't engage much. He had his head buried in video games for most of the visit. The only time he really spoke was meal times or after we took the video games away, and even then, all he wanted to talk about was BM, GF, and/or the trips they all have planned. SS10 wasn't rude in any way, just quiet. He did play with DD while DH and I did chores or worked, which was nice to see. He does seem to like DD.

BM's parents came to pick SS up this afternoon. It was a little awkward since we haven't seen them in 3.5 years and they had never met DD until today. We caught up a little on life updates, very vague but enough to be pleasant. BM's Mom thought DD was adorable and said she couldn't believe SS was a big brother. BM's Dad likes to be pleasant but also twist that niceness into a dig. BM's Dad tried to insinuate that he thought I had job hopped a lot (he worked at the university that I got my Master's at and I was in my program with BM's brother so he knows about my work). He didn't realize that I have only had two jobs in 3 years and have no intention of leaving my current job, compared to the 7 or 8 jobs that BM's brother has held in 3 years in the same field. He was stunned to hear about my current role in executive leadership and success. I'm sure it stung a little since his son is floundering in the same field. BM works in the same field as well, but she is having more success than her brother. 

I am relieved that our weekend with SS is over; not that it was a bad weekend, but it always throws off my routine. I always feel on edge when he visits. We will see him again in 6 weeks for spring break. 

DH told me that when he picked up SS, BM handed DH SS's PRN croup medication. DH asked what it was for and BM said "in case he develops croup symptoms. It's the same medication from last year." BM then went on to say, "SS hasn't needed it in over a year, but you never know." This isn't a rescue inhaler or an EpiPen. It makes no sense to have this type of medication "just in case." SS isn't even under the care of an ENT anymore and the refill is from October, never used.
