[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 558186, member: 3419"] Thank you. I slept 11 hrs between Fri night and Sat am.! Unfortunately, girlfriend's mom, T, suffers from depression and is dealing with-her mom dying, so she spent most of the weekend sleeping. difficult child took off Sun a.m. and went to his girlfriend's, when he was supposed to go to Sunday school with-husband, then do chores with-me, so I was ticked. Then difficult child didn't answer his phone, and t didn't answer hers. Sigh. I got husband to pick up difficult child after lunch and bring him home to do chores. Then husband took difficult child to a different gym (some gyms don't allow memberships if you're under 16)) and to help carry things from the office. *Then* difficult child said his girlfriend was at another friend's house because her mom was sleeping and there was no food to eat. Could she have dinner with-us? (husband is whispering in the phone, saying he felt sorry for the girlfriend ... ) Yes, she had dinner with-us. Sigh. And her mom picked her up. She was disheveled but at least she was up and about. This puts me in such an awkward position, especially since T and I talked about keeping difficult child and her daughter apart at least part of the week, and keeping them totally occupied and supervised, and she can't parent her daughter efficiently, much less keep an eye on both of them. She took them to a movie and dinner Fri night and that seemed to take everything out of her. As you all know with-depression, some of it is situational, and sometimes it hits out of the blue.
