DH had a couple of days off last week and wanted to go back to the town we moved from to see friends. It's a four-hour drive. Our BDs were also off school, so I suggested he take them along. Our old town is less than an hour from SD21, and she'd just had her birthday, so I was sure he wanted to see SD21. I even brought it up to him that he should see her while he was there. He said he would see if she was willing to make the less than 1 hour drive to see him.

Guess what?! Anybody, anybody.

This is about BD10.

She got an ipad mini for Christmas, was over the moon excited, has used it a ton. Some time after she got it, DH and I had separate conversations with BD10 (I wasn't aware DH had talked to her about this) in which I stated it was not to be taken to school and DH said it was fine to take it to school.

Last night I pick BD10 up from daycare, she's upset, hands me an apology note that explains that she took the ipad to school (in its case) and a kid accidentally knocked it off her desk with their backpack and the screen broke.

I think this is finally on DH's mind, hope he arrives at some constructive conclusion but I'm not holding my breath.

SD20 is in her third year of college. She spent one year at one college, then wanted to drop out and enter a vocational program. DH convinced her to stay in college but she transferred to a college in BM's town. SD has now spent two years there, is not that much closer to graduating, and has been posting about how this is her last semester at that school, so either she is planning to transfer again or drop out.

Have to get it out here so I don't go crazy all over him in real life.

As long as I have known DH, he's had this weird thing about celebrating SD's half-birthday. No idea why, I didn't realize that was such a major milestone.

Our two BDs? He doesn't even notice. So youngest BD had her half-birthday in December, DH didn't even know it. Oldest BD just had her half-birthday a couple of days ago, again, nothing.
