So SD14 and SD12 have been in Disney World for two weeks with BM... who has a part time minimum wage job and lives with her own mother... no new school clothes purchased because of this vacation nor any school supplies. I have totally enjoyed free weekends and no teen drama.
This weekend is SO birthday. It's not a scheduled visitation weekend, so I made surprise plans to take SO out of town for the weekend to enjoy our last weekend without the kids...I bought each girl a new outfit so they'd have SOMETHING new and nice to wear that I plan on giving them next weekend when we have them... anyway - SD14 texts me this morning and asks if we are having a birthday party for dad this weekend. I responded - no, I am taking him away for a surprise weekend. SD14 texts back asking what?! Aren't we with you this weekend I said no it's not a scheduled weekend. She text back saying oh, I just figured since we've been gone so long we'd be seeing you this weekend. I did not respond... but felt very satisfied that there is no changing the plan now... is it wrong for me to feel so satisfied that I disappointed SD and plans can't be changed????
