Early morning... hubby and I had to go to another town to see our second daughter. She is now living on her own in her rented apartment near her new job. She's actually a fresh graduate and found her first job in another town.
She goes home every other weekend. She comes home Friday night and goes back to her apartment the next day. Her Dad usually takes her back to her apartment the next day.
She called us because she's having her issues on her monthly electric bill. She claimed that its too high. Her landlord is going to check her electric meter if there is something wrong. She is going to work the whole day and she wants us to be at her apartment while her landlord is checking the meter. Its uncomfortable for her that someone is in her place in her absence.
We thought the same so we agreed to be there and wait for her till she comes home. She plans to come with us so we can spend time together as a family.

Thanks. It is really nice to visit her once in a while.
She also visits us at home when she gets the chance.

@DaddyEvil I guess that was also difficult for you and her as well. My two girls also needed to rent a place near their universities when they were in college and now that they are both working, they still need to find a place nearby work. They try to go home at least on weekend. I urged my second to do it only twice a month because its difficult for her to travel. My eldest can go on weekends regularly since her work is not that far.
So when we get together its quite a celebration for us. We do visit our second daughter more. She has to work 6 days in a week. She only stays overnight whenever she comes home.

@cherigucchi You're welcome.
I know exactly how that is... When Pretty was in college, it was too far for me to go visit her but I called her every week just to visit and sent packages of foods and things I thought she'd like once a month. It seemed like a really long time between her visits home. (She came home three months during the summers while she was in college for four years.)

Though she is already 23, she still wants us to be with her most of the time. Anyway, she is always our little sweetie.
