Great music, eclectic, and wonderful local musicians as well.
If anyone streams to their desktop and needs something new, paste the link and turn up the volume.

Antidepressants and SD
I have 2 SD's and one is extremely messed up. In the literal.figurative.emotional sense - and I do not know what to feel. I am conflicted on this one, because I KNOW that depression is an illness and I KNOW that some folks need medications to help them get to that better place in their lives.

Rise and Shine - BM busted into the house this AM yelling at us - background on the BM
Yes, indeed, she did, and said "eff you guys", etc, including me in her toxicity.
Background:
Baby-Step improvements
Funny Story:
Friday night was skid night, but little one had a sleepover, and big one was watching grandma. I approached SO with my idea - if SD17 wants to live with us full-time, we will "task her" starting now, so she gets a taste of what life is like in our household. I told him "think about it, its just an idea". LOL.

Door off for almost a month...food and dishes everywhere...equity partner-ship has sailed
By now, the repetition has grown tiring. SD17 Winona hasn't been to any stores lately. She has been mostly quiet, and under the radar. Until last night of course. Her door has been off her room for a month now. the morning stench of cheap perfume is cloying and the sound of her nightly singing just pisses me off. Not to mention her video-watching noise. Her father asked her to keep her noise down, as we were watching a movie and she popped off "you wouldn't be bothered by my noise if I had a door on". I heard that and heard the word "Jesus".
Auntie tells us what we should and should not allow in our own home - just a little frustrated
This weekend wasn't absolutely horrid. The superbowl party was fun - both SD's hung out with their cousins, and SO and I watched in the big room with his family. SO has a large family, he is the youngest of 10 siblings and his 94-year old mother is still around and kicking it. She requires constant care, which is taken care of by one male sibling, and the weekends are shared among the remaining local siblings - about 4 of them. My SO - he absolutely refuses to take his turn. So he pays SD17 to do this.
Make up at 10? Weekend with Toxic SD17 and other wors
I am livid and still shaking with fury. Even after my 3-Mike run. I just want to punch a punching bag but instead I read and type this. I knew trouble was brewing - you see it's been so quiet this month, very little to no drama, so I figured, correctly so, something ugly would happen. Which of course it did. SD10 has a bday party to attend, wanted something different, so she asked her sister SD 17 to apply makeup. She applied heavy eyeliner, blue eye shadow, mascara, lipstick blush, the works.
Almost-18 Anxiety
I am having anxiety about the future of SD17 turning 18 in April. She graduates a month later, and then summer will begin. I have heard nothing of her plans, yet SO states that "things will change". I want to know HOW. He states that she will be required to pay rent, and pay her own cell phone and pay her own car insurance. She currently has no license and of course no job. Plus, January 1st, she started the year getting caught shoplifting and is now banned from JC Penny's for a year.

Step Parents Bill of Rights - repost!
I thought this was too good not to repost. It is a reminder of what is right, true and what should be expected. This forum exists because every day, in every way, these "Bill of Rights" is violated, without repercussions.
