Good afternoon everyone,

It's been a couple of weeks since I posted, but when last I did, SD17 had just moved in with her bio-daddy. Well, these have been a great couple of weeks! Peace and quiet in the house, not having to lock my office, not having to hide my food, not worrying about her eavsesdropping on me, not worrying about her shitty grades, or worrying about her smoking pot.

DW has been holding up pretty well, but I know that she deeply misses SD17. I know that she can rationalize why it is best for SD17 to be with the bio-daddy, but DW is still her mother, and has those materal feelings. I get that. However, I am concerned that I will be witnessing a full-on love-fest when SD17 comes to visit this weekend.

DW already has plans to take her out to eat tonight, take her to a movie tomorrow afternoon, and take her out to eat tomorrow night as well. It's DW's money (I won't be contributing financially to these activities), but I had really hoped that DW had learned her lesson, namely that "Disney" parenting doesn't work! SD17 ended up in her current situation in large part due to DW spoling her, and being her "friend" rather than her mother.

I guess it's only 2 days, but I am afraid that it will be 2 days of the "same-old, same-old" SD. This means SD17 getting spoiled on fast food, lounging around this house watching TV, barking orders to DW, and staying up all night. Of course, there is a chance that SD17 will be on "good behavior" to try and convince DW to let SD come back to live with us, but I doubt that she would be able to manage good behavior for two entire days!
