DH and I had an awesome time! SS16 was with us for a couple of days; then left because of work. We had a few days alone.  Celebrated our anniversary - just the two of us - had a great day and nice dinner. I think this is the first time we've been alone for our anniversary. Normally the SSons are with us.  

Then SS21 and his girlfriend came up for the weekend. His girlfriend has worked two jobs over the last year and a half to save money for school.  Working full time has changed her, she's way more mature. She moves away this week to go to technical school, she's been planning this for so long and is super excited.

I got the impression from her, we had a nice conversation without DH or SS21 around, that SS21 doesn't think her educational goals are as important as his because he will be earning more than her in his chosen career. I made sure to tell her that she should never let anyone step on her dreams and that if this is what she wants and if this will make her happy then she should do it for herself. SS21 is an idiot.
