I noticed the last time I posted was exactly a year ago today! Can't believe it's been that long. Sadly not a whole lot has changed though. We are still fighting on parenting SD now 8 together. I don't understand why this is so hard! He seems on board then he does something that is just plain stupid!

I went back to picking up SD from school and come September she will be going to the same school as my kids. Not sure if this is a good idea or not. She has an easy time making friends but can't seem to keep them. Guess that's what happens when you're rude, snotty and you lie!

A couple of examples of what she's been like this past year. She made a money bet with a kid at school about someone liking someone else. Then she lied to the kid that she won the bet so that he would give her the money! What kind of kid thinks that way!! My DH found the money, she told him that she won it from a bet. He gave her the whole speech about how betting is wrong blah, blah...then he lets her keep the money! How the hell does that teach her anything? So I stepped in and told her she was giving it back and telling the teacher what she did. They ended up in the principals office because there is a strict policy about not making bets in school. Found out later that she lied to her friend for the money.

She also broke a friend's bracelet and hid it on her so she wouldn't get in trouble. The friend eventually wanted it back and then she finally told her what had happened. The friend told the teacher and the teacher had to tell her to apologize. I'm just so tired of her lying to try to get out of trouble and treating her friends so poorly. I just hope she doesn't do the same things at the boys school because now she will be associated with them and me!

There are times when I do feel so bad for her because I know her mom doesn't take care of her properly, she's left to her own devices most of the time. Her mom rarely talks to her. But when she's here and she's snotty to my kids, calling them names and being disrespectful to me, all those sorry feelings just go away! I just wish her mother was decent and I could feel good with her being there!
