Camping weekend and not one peep about SD19

And I ain't mad. 

We had an EXTREMELY relaxing weekend. A little hiking, a little midday thunderstorm which made for a great nap and evening by the fire. 

The night before we were discussing food to bring as I pre-make a lot of stuff. In this conversation I asked if he had heard from SD? Is she still planning to go? I got a firm "NO". I never mentioned her again.

Can it be he is finally understanding that this kid is full of BS? Maybe? 

I'm not holding my breath as I know the next time something comes up we'll be back to square one. Maybe???...

I think there will always be set backs but I also think that your DH isn't fully falling for it. He wants to believe the best and wants her to do the right things, but he is making her prove it before he gets overly (and financially) invested. So that is good!!

I'm not surprised, most kids this age don't really want to go on trips with their parents anymore. My own BS does this when we invite him on family trips, he says he will think about it and then usually doesn't end up going. At least it's keeping her out of your nice vacation time.

I agree, as mine may or may not come by if we're camping. Its usually a no from my own bios and I get it. With SD though...she's always been such a "daddy's girl" anytime she could get his focus on her she'd usually take full advantage of it. She seeks his attention desperately.
