SO...tonight's the night that we need to get packed and ready to make the 11 hr trip back to do the kid swap in Indy and go to my son's graduation. (BM & SD11 live a bit further, and is at least being decent enough to meet us in Indy instead of making us drive the entire way!!)

SD11 apparently has 'homesickness' issues. Well, she has flipped back and forth, one day shes going to come, the next she's not. Tonight, SS13 comes out and makes the announcement that his sister wasn't going to come back with us "because she wants to stay with her family". OK. I wanted to come unglued with that statement! What the hell is DH to her? An entity that exists?? The BM flips and doesn't seem to really be doing a good job at supporting her daughter and helping her move past this. But then again....shouldn't surprise me. After all, we are talking about an RN who simply pissed away her education by getting her nursing license put on probation and can not find a job! AAHHH!!!

I also got a bit annoyed earlier before that when SS13 was on the phone with BM, and there was a smart assed comment about me being made by BM. (SS13 tried to skip school this morning, and thanks to me he had no choice BUT to go!) The comment was something like insinuating I was trying to get SS13 in trouble. Oh realllly?!?!?!? Well, DH jumped right in and made sure she understood that her precious baby boy does NOT need my help to get into trouble, and cleared up what happened this morning.

This whole thing gets my head spinning....my 4 kids are grown--youngest is almost 18--and I have never once had an issue with them being like this. Is it because I am stern and cold? Someone who says this is the way it goes because I said so? Or is it because I did the right things when I raised my kids?

I was told that before when SD11 had 'homesickness' issues, she would cry until dear ol' dad drove her the 3 hrs back to her house. But now, we are more like 13 hrs away from her house, and dropping our lives and routines can not happen because she wants to go back home. And then there's the BM--I have tried to communicate with her and let her know she can call me any time she pleases. I WANT her to call if she has something on her mind, or is concerned about something. But....guess that won't ever happen...then again, like I said earlier, look at who we are talking about!!!
