[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 541177, member: 9175"] Thanks, everyone! Except for a couple of bumps, her birthday was really very special and lovely. Ziplining was a blast. I'm a little sore today but so glad that we did it. We stopped for dinner on the way home at this very cool place and I let her order a glass of wine. We came home, had homemade cheesecake and she opened her gifts .. a few little things and a necklace I had made from one of my dad's cufflinks. It really is beauitufl and I was excited because I had an old necklace of my mom's that neither of us would ever wear and sold it in exchange for the new necklace (with more than a few $ left over!), so I felt like I got a real deal. She really loves it. She's been very careless with things like this in the past, but I thought I'd give it one more chance. The actual $ spent, even if you don't consider the trade, wasn't very much and it's not like it is an irreplaceable heirloom piece of my mom's. Mr. Ostrich then came over to take her out to get a drink. They left here at 9:30 and I heard her come back around mindnight. She sounded pretty drunk. This is the fundamental difference between Mr. O and myself. I think a glass of wine at dinner on a 21st birthday is ok. Going bar hopping with dad? Not such a agood idea. I wish he'd jst taken her out for a nice dinner on another night or joined us (which was possible) for our dinner. Oh well, out of my hands. She talked a lot over the course of the day about how she can't wait to go barhopping with friends and all. I'm trying to keep my perppective on what is typical for this age and what is difficult child. Hoping against hope this won't become an issue. Thanks for the good wishes. Dash [/QUOTE]
