Update on daughter
I agreed to watch the girls 3 days out of the week with the agreement that she show up by 10:30 or I won't watch them anymore was my boundary. She has actually been picking them up by 10:30 and if she's running late she will text me to let me know, something she never did in the past. She seems to not be drinking which is a good sign. I still don't agree with where she works or how she gets money, but she's a grown woman. She made rent this month and I my dad didn't help her.
She still lies quite a bit. She said she was taking a trip out of town and if I would watch the girls over the weekend. My dad told her not to take the car, that's his, on the trip. She ended up saying in town the entire weekend to harass her on-again, off-again boyfriend (he has her blocked on his phone so she uses her email and I see those) asking if she could go over to his house.
On a bright note, she actually paid me back the money she owed me, $55, for a box of pampers and formula. It's not about the money, but the principle and her learning to take responsibility. Small baby steps....
I'm taking a trip next month to visit my mom in Colorado and taking my son and oldest granddaughter with me. We will be gone for about 6 days. Should be a fun road trip.
