Time with my kids
I spent a lot of time with my kids this weekend. We had some discussions I wasn't expecting but glad we did.
I picked up my daughter on Saturday morning to take her to a dance class. I'd been for a run and had two friends in the car. She said something to one if them about her being "mad". My friend replied "Better mad and glad than bad and sad". This somehow got to a discussion about alcohol. This friend is in recovery. I myself after difficulty with it and going to AA with that friend don't drink but don't say I'm alcoholic.
My daughter though pressed about why I don't drink etc It was a good discussion my daughter asking questions about motivation, how do you know it's a problem etc. My friend who's brilliant talking about her past was great with her. She stayed all day and watched Strictly with me before I dropped her off.
Both the kids came over Sunday for lunch. I asked my son how his piano lessons are going. He immediately said "I'd rather have a guitar". It's another example of my ex imposing his plan onto others. But that's given an idea for his Christmas present. They stayed for Strictly dance off and then watched the F1 which had my son jumping up and down at times. His favourite is Lando Norris.
I dropped them home just before the cut off my ex was insisting on even though they are on holidays next two weeks. We're having lunch all together tomorrow in town.
