Wow that is strange. Is this every time he comes? Maybe she's a worrier, and it makes her feel better being there with him. Are they older? Maybe that's her break away from the kids. Is she reading, listening to a book on tape? Does she come in when you invite her?

My husband and I worked at the same place on the same shift for about 8 years. From time to time, particularly in the spring, something would happen to the power lines and the plant would lose power, they KNEW he'd turn around and come back immedately.

I kept my laptop and adaptor and a book in the car. One time I didn't even realize that he'd been in there all night until the sun started coming up. One of the guys that works for him (and know me) wonder how I could possibly be so patient (which they knew I am not). The thing that was lucky for him was Sims had just released the new expansion pack Makin Magic. We had just bought it on the way to work and I installed while he was in working. A person from my department came out and asked if I wanted to punch back in and do honey do jobs until hubby was done. No way, I've got a new Sims.

Every few hours, he'd send one of his guys out with a soda or snack. They said it was because they wanted to make sure I was comfortable. I found out later that there was a pool to see how long I'd sit out there before I threw a fit. Hubby kept saying "she's fine, best $40 we ever spent." My boss was so happy that hubby was able to stay until everything was fixed again, I got the next day off :-)
