I'm apparently a horrible father.
My 19 year old daughter is in college. She told me her mother went to visit her last weekend & they stayed in a hotel for a "getaway weekend so (she) wouldn't have to deal with dorm drama." She got sick & her mother brought her home to go to their doctor. She drove her back down to attend two days of class, that according to my daughter involve a field trip to a toy store (research for a project) and a petting zoo on campus that she is excited about.
She informs me her mother is "asking family" if they can pick her up and drive her home on Friday so she can go to the doctor again and save "wear & tear on her car." When I replied that my car is acting up, so I know all about the wear & tear, I got emails from her mother that were not very nice...
My offer to buy a bus ticket has gone unanswered. I pointed out that in my opinion, a 19 year old that is well enough to attend class for a field trip & petting zoo can sit on a bus for 4 hours.
