What a long day...

It is the holiday weekend, but we didn't anticipate this. My daughter's university is on the way to the Canadian/U.S. border at Niagara. Yes, there were a lot of American vehicles heading in that direction but today was Sunday and Monday is a holiday. So why was so much traffic. We did this trip last year and didn't have a problem. The usually 1 1/2 hour trip took us 3 hours! Then my daughter's mood changed as soon as we got there and I could say and do no right. I was regretting even going. Her "male friend" drove his vehicle as it is a large pick-up and the only vehicle that could carry her bed. So once we were all together, I became an outsider. They sure didn't seem to mind me buying them dinner though. I didn't head home until 7:00 at night. And of course the busy traffic had changed directions and I was in it once again. This wasn't as bad though. Only an extra half an hour to get home. I'm never doing this again. She can get whoever she wants to move her next year but it's not going to be me. The lack of appreciation is grating on me. To top it off, during this long drive (the young one was driving), I got several texts from my older daughter who was having a major hissy fit at home because she couldn't find the two pieces of her bathing suit. I received messages of "I am so over this" and "Whatever". Of course I came home to a basement that was a mess because she decided to leave it like that after looking for her bathing suit. Not sure she ever found it but couldn't understand why she didn't just wear shorts and a shirt with a bra on. This girl is 22 years old and has been acting like a 2 year old lately. I don't know how much more of it I can take. Maybe things will cool down when hubby gets home and/or she starts training for her new job. I don't know but it's totally unacceptable behaviour and short of kicking her out, there's nothing I can do about it.
