[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 744775, member: 4152"] :) Believe me, I understand Jabber. Husband is taking her to the train now. BUT out of about a thirty year history with our daughter and Christmas this Has been the best one. I’m in shock. A good shock. It was so much better. Someone here I believe last year suggested considering getting a hotel. It worked out very well, even though we did it because she was rude/sarcastic. And, naturally at first she was upset. BUT, the hotel offers free breakfast and dinner. And Difficult Child likes to eat. This gave here a nice big breakfast every morning without us having to cater to her. We eat a light breakfast and sometimes skip breakfast. It was awesome! One night I think she got in the free dinner too. She was calmer, perhaps more rested, liked talking to folks at the hotel. She stayed at the house during the day and the hotel at night for sleep. It has the potential for other problems. Knock on wood , that / those didn’t seem to happen. Oddly , we had an unprecedented knock down dragged out argumenT with our SON on Christmas Eve. A complete reversal. Maybe we will cruise next year for much of the holiday time. But... it is nice to report that with our d. C. Daughter...this basically broke a THIRTY year pattern. Omg omg omg Very very pleased. Thirty years is a freakin long time. [/QUOTE]
