The past few days have been absolutely delightful! DH and I have been moving and setting up our new home with NO Thunderfoot. We left her with her gparents because I didn't want her in the way. It's not like she would help and I don't want to have to tell someone where I want my things. I'd much rather do it myself. We don't have Internet/TV yet because they have to dig a trench for the cable and that will take a few weeks. DH was going to bring her this afternoon to start on her room and spend the night. I told him I didn't think it was a good idea for her to stay because we will both be at work and she will have no way to get in touch with us should something happen. He agreed. I really wish it could just be like this always. It has been so wonderful without her around. It's almost like a second honeymoon. I'm hoping to at least get him to hold off on bringing her for at least another week because our anniversary is this weekend. I think I can convince him! Smile

I told him that it didn't hurt my feelings one bit that she wasn't here. He knows I don't want her here. I am hoping she will come and hate it and want to move in with her gparents. I know that's awful but it's true. She won't be happy here because this is MY house and there will be rules and if she can't follow them, there will be consequences. Her gparents let her do whatever she wants whenever she wants so she's in heaven right now.

It's a gradual change but little by little, DH will become less "Thunderfoot-centric" and start enjoying ADULT life.

You know, the way young couples with children did back in the 60's. They put the kids to bed at a reasonable hour, hired babysitters alternatively and enjoyed adulthood as well as they should.

One of the HUGE reasons that Chef's kids all PASed out is because I gradually opened his eyes to the fact that SPOILING children 24/7 is NOT in their best interests. It was a case of "how's THAT workin' for ya, Chef?"

EVERY weekend they became more and more entitled. The public meltdowns when Chef (read: me) wouldn't buy them everything in sight like he once did. Chef's fault because he set the dangerous precedent of wanting to be his kids FRIEND.

Then came the phoney CPS reports when they didn't get their way aka a 24/7 three ringed EXPENSIVE circus. And of course the Girhippo was INCENSED that Chef DARE set rules for HER children. I helped the rule enforcement along out of self preservation and the rest was history.

Things are going to be really different for her here and she's not going to like it. We had a house phone at the old house, don't have one here and aren't getting one. Don't have Internet/TV yet. She won't come until we do. The house we were in was his parents house. We were fixing it up for them so they could sell it. I never felt like I had any say so there over anything. If she did or didn't do something, I would tell DH to address it. This is MY house and there will be rules followed and I will address it myself rather than get him to do it. I don't think she's going to like that very much but oh well. I'm not living in a pig sty and I'm not buying all the shit that she wants to eat. She's going to have to learn to eat like a person and not an animal. DH swears she desperately wants my approval...we'll see how much approval she craves after she moves in.

Yeah I doubt Thunderfoot wants your approval in any way shape or form. Oh I remember those days. Chef cooking special "kid friendly" meals EVERY weekend because the skids would only eat cheese pizza, lunchables, oreos, doritos, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, fries and chocolate ice cream.

DH came home yesterday with a bag full of crap for her. Tuna packs ( which is fine because I will eat those) beeforoni ravioli and Mac and cheese. I told him that was more than enough crap because I'm not filling my pantry with bullshit kid food!

She could care less about my approval. She just wants to make me look like a huge bitch.

Did I ever tell you the story about the time that I grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for the skids and Chef was horrified to see grill marks on the food. According to his kids, that meant the food was "burnt" so there he was trying to rub/scrape off the grill marks for their approval!

OH yeah I could go on for days! Skids didn't like the way I made PB&J sandwiches. They apparently would only eat PB&J sandwiches (and no, they weren't allergic to peanuts) if it was mostly a crustless JELLY sandwich.

Also I served them day old hot dog rolls and Chef had a fit about that. Only very fresh, brand name spongelike no nutrition hot dog rolls would do for his "angels."

It was then that I got the idea of putting generic goods into brand name containers--that and an old "Roseanne" show--gotta give credit where credit is due. Brand name stuff is super expensive and with all of Chef's money going to the BM in CS, I had to make due. They never knew the difference.

That is completely ridiculous! I love that kids think they only like name brand stuff and don't realize they are eating store brand! That's the why Thunderfoot is with spaghetti sauce. She is so annoying.

My skids wouldn't even EAT spaghetti sauce. They just wanted noodles with butter and cheese; preferably kraft dinner aka mac and cheese. I once served OSS a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Chef immediately got up and strained the broth and chicken/veg out because OSS "just eats the noodles."

Is it any wonder that the skids are HUGE for their age (not just tall but wide)

I made homemade spaghetti for the skids ONCE. DH was in heaven and RAVED about my sauce to all of his coworkers so he was very happy the skids could have some. PrincASS was all "I like the frozen stuff better". Yes, frozen. As in, frozen spaghetti dinner with preservatives and additives and all other sorts of CRAP in it. My response was "No worries. I won't make it for you again." And then PrincASS tried to back pedal a little with "Well yours isn't BAD..." Tough sh!t, buttwipe. You can have all that premade poop for you and your tastebud-challenged siblings. And that was THE LAST TIME I cooked one bloody thing for the skids.

lmao! i miss making homemade sauce. dh misses it too. but the kids prefer the jarred type, which is ok by me, i was raised on it. and it's easier on dh, cuz maybe only one person will be having spaghetti or something, he can just pour out what's needed and fridge the rest.

i dont really cook much anymore. i miss it!!!!

Tuff, some of the jar sauce is not bad. But we're talking frozen premade spaghetti - the kind with that funky taste 99% of all premade frozen meals have.

Our one year anniversary is the 4th of July but we've known each other for a few years. What attracted me to him? Honestly his eyes and tan! Lol I think he's super good looking but beyond that he has a heart of gold and treats me like a queen.

Thunderfoot claims to only like Ragu but she's full of shit. She just likes to pretend that's the only kind she will eat. And I feel you on the bread! She slathers butter 1/2 inch think on bread, any kind of bread. I'm shocked she's not HUGE! She better be glad she has teenage metabolism. She's not big but she not small either.
