SD16 is showing no sign of snapping out of this awful mood which has gone over two weeks now. Her father is saying she has reverted back to how she was when living at her mothers. He thought having her here with us was solving the problem. Obviously not. Nothing in life seems to give her any pleasure or if it does it is short lived. Her father and I feel we are constantly walking around on eggshells. Apparently she has been like this ever since she began secondary school (and she is in her final year now). Before that she was a happy, laid back and fun child with a lot of friends.

Now the upset with SD16 has subsided (see I'm screwing up her life post) within minutes there is fresh drama with SD18. She got caught by a cop doing 55km/h in a 40km/h zone... looks like she might lose her license and have a $400 dollar fine...
She is really upset on the phone to her dad in tears. I feel sorry for her its a hard lesson to learn. At least she didn't crash or run someone over.

Further to my "Ooof She gives me a headache" SD18 has been on the prowl for money, texting her dad Friday night as she urgently needed these shoes for a party Saturday. He said to me "she won't get it that easily and we will make it difficult for her and she will have to justify it blah blah". Pffft we EVEN have to go to her house and drop the money off to her :jawdrop:. I was livid, what a load of tosh. His excuse is he "hates to see them go without" (as he went without stuff when he was a boy). I said it is his fault she is a spoiled brat.
