And is now living with BM, I imagine it's teen drama, and things will change when she calms down, because honestly, I'm sure BM's home isn't easystreet either.  I also suspect to a certain degree that DH is being manipulated, not necessarily for malicious purposes, but because that's just how SD deals with life, instead of direct, honest communication. Once she gets what she really wants out of him, it will be like it never happened. 

So, I didn’t invite SD on a trip.  This trip is on BM’s weekend, SD quote “hates other people” so I assumed she wouldn’t want to go.  Its for a club my son is in with his friends’ families.  SD has no manners whatsoever and still throws tantrums like a toddler when she doesn’t get her way, and DH has to leave me with our kids to coddle her for hours to make her feel better.  I’m also the one people go to when she’s not behaving.  Like I have any control over it.  So no, she’s definitely not going, DH would have to stay home with her if it was during his weekend.  

DH and I take our dog for a walk everyday same place, same time.  Is it a coincidence that BM happens to be there with her kids 2 days in a row, at the same time?  Even though there are 3 parks closer to her home?  All that are newer and more kid friendly?  I do get that now she’s a single mom, and maybe going out is not feasible.  Also, SD was with her and all our kids get along... so they may be driving it too.

Some juicy drama, BM was arrested for beating up ex SF months ago.  DH just found out about this now.  On top of this SF has been throwing temper tantrums and throwing stuff at home.  So SD is at our house until who knows when.

 So, The next time SD goes on about how much better her mom is to get under my skin, boy do I have the best shut down remarks to use ever.  I can start with the fact that at least I’ve never been in the back of a police car, and work up from there.
