Really???
SD came back last night after spending a week with BM. Of course DH had to drop her off and pick her up. Oh and he had to go get SD mid week to take her to her dentist appt. BM apparently feels its asking too much for her to do any of this because we moved further away, 20 miles vs 5 is a real hardship for someone who works 3 days a week.
My bd was home from school and bs was over. We had couple friends coming over for the game. SD first tries to negotiate the time to later but dh says no. when they come home she goes straight to her room and closes the door. Eventually she comes out asking for dinner. She didn't want what we had but since I was still in the kitchen getting ready for guests she knew better than to try to cook. She fixes a plate and I hear her tell her dad she's waiting for him because she doesn't know where she's allowed to sit since my kids were there. They were each in the living room watching pre game. 4 adults eventually sat in the area that was open. She ends up going back to her room and only coming down briefly to see her aunt and uncle.
Later she comes down and is talking to her dad. She needs her tea but couldn't get to it because there was beer in front of it. I guess no one ever showed her that either.
At 4:30 our bedroom door is slamed open and she is whining to her dad that she thinks she's sick and needs to throw up. He gets up and comes back to bed and I can hear her in the bathroom getting sick. She whines and cries from down the hall some more and he goes back to check on her. this girl will be 18 in three months and wakes the whole house up because she has an upset stomach. Sorry kid if you can sneak around and smoke you don't need daddy to take care of you in the middle of the night. It would be a lot easier to empathize if she didn't treat me and my kids like we are there to cater to her.

Oh holy crap. I thought you
Oh holy crap. I thought you were talking about a 10 yr old, not a near-adult. WTF on playing helpless?
Admittedly, my SD17 can't figure out how to print directions from Google, and then called her father in a panic when she got lost, but at least she tried to get her task done. (Take her car in for an inspection)
She also doesn't know how to
She also doesn't know how to do laundry, wash dishes or pretty much anything that is ever asked of her. I snapped at DH this morning. If he wants to treat her like a baby its on him. I'm not sure what made me more mad, being woken up in the middle of the night or the fact that she acts like my kids are mean to her. She hides in her room and then tells her dad she doesn't think they like her. If you didn't hide in your room until you want something they might make more of an effort.
It's only the latest chapter.
It's only the latest chapter. She's been at her moms for a week so I assume she is trying to make up time in her efforts to be the center of attention. I just don't react well to what was obviously a bid for attention. If you want people to pay attention to you stop being a narcissist.
I told him this morning next
I told him this morning next time she wakes me up in the middle of the night it won't be pretty. He seemed surprised I was upset. If it has been one of my kids he would have made sure everyone knew how mad he was.
