Today is my dh's birthday. Our youngest child is going out this morning and won't be back until tomorrow lunch time.
I asked my 16 dd during the week if she'd consider seeing if friends were around to go and visit this weekend as dh and I would like to have time just the two of us and she may get bored/lonely.
I just asked her what her plans are and she said she's going to stay at home this weekend, and complete her homework and tidy her bedroom.
Yes I'm lucky that she wants to be with her family.
But I'm also knarked that for dh and I to have any alone time we have to go out, which means spending money as too cold/wet for anything else, and it also means that it'll be three for dinner not two.
BTW I'm not showing dd my unhappiness as I don't want her to feel unwelcome in her own home, but boy I wish she'd go out occassionally for longer than a couple of hours.
