Apparently they'll just let ANYONE into gifted and talented

boogeymom's picture

Call me crazy, but when I was a kid not so long ago, you had to actually be gifted or have some talent in order to get into gifted/talented. Now, apparently, they'll just let ANYONE into g/t. SS10 got accepted about a week or two ago...this kid can barely find his own ass, and he's the SMART one. I almost feel sorry for SS12, who is neither gifted, nor talented in any way, but I think he acts dumb on purpose to get attention.

Day 5: Why are my Skids such p*ssies?

Oh my God, after Day 4 came and went and everything was fine, now we're onto day 5 of 7 (hopefully not Dirol in a row with these damn kids...could they be any bigger babies if they tried? SS12 is talking about how this video game is so scary to him (it's Zelda...not exactly Silent Hill, for those who are familiar), and SS10 is flipping out from this "HUGE" spider that was crawling on the floor (tiny spider, btw). Really?

Day 3: The follow-up

Luckily, today was a weekday, so I saw the Skids for all of 10 minutes today. DH made sure to let me know, though, that F-I-L called SS12 to make sure today was a better day...and then called DH to make sure of the same. Really? Now they feel the need to referee like every day? I told DH they're WAY overstepping, he agreed and said he was going to beat them at their own game of passive-aggression (i.e. telling the Skids they don't have to listen to him behind his back) and we'll be mysteriously busy every time the in-laws want to take them camping for the weekend.

Day 2: Are you really kidding me?!?

So, last night, Skids were out of control. Finally, DH had had enough and got really mad at them and started yelling. Well, SS12 decided he was going to call DH's parents on his cell phone to tattle tale on him because he was being "so mean" and he "didn't want to stay here with us." (To bad every time he says that, he has his bluff called when one of us says, "Fine, on MOnday I'll go down to the courthouse and make it so you won't come here anymore. See ya." Then, naturally, SS12 starts crying and says, "Noooo!

Day 1: Will they ever stop shrieking?

Okay, so I'm totally screwed. This week, BM "C u next Tuesday" is in Mexico for her brother's b-day. Fine, I get it, it's a milestone b-day, everyone is allowed to have a little fun once in a while. Unfortunately, that means the Skids are here with us. All. Week. Long. This is literally only the second time EVER that we've had them for more than 4 days in a row, and I hated it the first time, too. At least the last time, I was convinced my dog was going to die all week long, so everyone left me alone in the bedroom to cry (he was fine after all).

Welp, I think my marriage is officially in trouble

For the last few months, I've been SUPER irritated with H. His negative, defeatist attitude, not to mention his ridiculous temper, have officially made me not want to be around him anymore. Christmas weekend was awful. After screaming at the absolute top of his lungs at the football game (not like regular guys, spit was actually flying out of his mouth as he was yelling and his eyes were all crazy), he comes upstairs ranting. Then, he was looking for tape to wrap SS's presents (which I maintain they do not ever deserve since they're spoiled brats), there's no tape.

Oh my GOD it's a good thing my DH is good at the seks...

otherwise his damn kids would've made me LEAVE ALREADY!!!!! GOD these kids! I couldn't be more sick of them if I tried! Every damn time they come over, ridiculousness is the letter of the day. They haven't even been in my house for a full hour yet and I'm already wishing I could put them out on the streets! I'm seriously going to leave this house at some point on a weekend we have them, and REFUSE to even answer the phone until they leave. I have plenty of people I can stay with for the weekends, including some single girlfriends who I KNOW I'd get up to no good with.

So awesome to know that apparently things will never change...

So last night, we BLEW UP at SS12 and SS10 because of about 5 different accumultated things, one of them potentially being very serious (this was AFTER DH got snarly with me because I had the AUDACITY to tell him about himself and how ridiculous he is while watching football...in front of my parents). After exploding all over them and causing me to have a headache that's still lasting until this morning, the consequences were no technology whatsoever today.

Oh GOD help me!

Well, it's official. I have a demonic pre-teen living in the house. I think The Exorcist was a metaphor for living with pre-teens. SS12 has only been 12 for a month, and already he has truly been showing out. All the time it's fighting and back-talking and screeching and bitch-slapping his younger brother. I keep expecting him to start stabbing himself with a crucifix and vomiting nails and green bile, while screaming with some crazy voice in Aramaic. The latest is telling everyone to get out of his life.
