[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record, picked DD up Wed. She immediately went to BF's house. Came in after I was asleep. Thanksgiving Day we drove 45 mins south and spent with family. When we returned home, DD went to BF's house. Yesterday I took DD to do a bit of shopping. She then went to BF's house and was there all day until after 11 pm tonight. Just in time to get enough sleep b/c tomorrow it's back to the airport.[/quote]

This is a short break and you can't jump to conclusions. The one person who can understand everything she's going through right now is her BFF. Think of it this way -- be glad she is maintaining such close ties to a friend at home because it will be an incentive for her to come home on future breaks rather than make other plans.

The one thing you shouldn't do is whine or argue. You need to create some structure so her time with you is clear. Next time she is home make specific plans -- we'll have dinner together Wednesday and run errands Friday -- that sort of thing. And then accept that most of her other time will not be spent with you. I'm looking at this and I see her spending between and third and half of her time with you. Why are you complaining about that? To me it sounds like you are having trouble transitioning to your new relationship with her. She is spending time with you, just not as much as you would like. But if you keep this up she will never spend as much time with you as she would like and you will spend every visit counting how many hours here and how many hours there and you will be resentful.[/quote]
