Joys of Christmas

floralsm's picture

This Christmas I will be on my own with our bios (DD4 and DS1) as DH is away working. I have planned to visit my parents house for lunch and can't wait for a relaxing quiet Christmas Day. I'm disappointed my DH isn't home but glad the skids wont be with us Christmas morning. Bitter sweet. 
 

Oh god SD never fails to bring drama. Help.

Well SD10 is here and when I went through her bag to find her school diary for DH to sign, I found her phone and charger! God help me. Also found random clothes and an overnight bag packed with beauty products and hair oils. Massive wtf. No idea why she lugged that shit to school and here. Oh wait, she thought she was going to that year 6 party and sleeping over. Who knows, it's so wierd considering she doesn't even brush her hair. Oil will not fix her hair that's for sure. 

SD has done it again!

I cannot believe what has happened. Sorry I feel like a blog hog lately but the amount of drama these skids are doing is crazy. 

Dh told me yesterday when he got home from the shop that he received another text from SD. He just gave me his phone and sighed. 

SD now refusing to come over

Well the update is SD played the old 'I have anxiety about coming to your house so I'm going to stay with mum this weekend' card. All because DH said no to her going to this sleep over. He doesn't know how to respond to her. I told him he needs to let her know that her behaviour is unacceptable and he will be discussing it with her. 

Skids acting up again

SS12 and SD10 are nearing the early teenage years. Thanks to Toxic BM buying her 9 and 10 old (at the time) phones with SIM cards they are acting older than their age. Unlimited and unparented access to social media, all hours of the day/night access and yes they both have seen porn. This also comes with air of entitlement, and 'I am mature for my age' crap. It's hard to see and cope with. They don't bring their phones to our house so DH has no control of it what so ever. 
 

SD games are cracking

So managed to finally show my DH how SD is manipulative and it's not me being crazy. 
Basically she applied false nails on herself and told SS12 they were real and not to tell DH and myself. Of course SS being SS, immediately pulled me aside as soon as we got home from picking them up and told me. I actually have no effs anymore what she does from BMs, and trained myself pretty hard to not react so I said 'oh? Why would we care?' And he shrugged and I shrugged and walked inside. He told DH and he wasn't phased either. 
 

Anxiety coming back - vent

I need a good vent. SD is a clone of BM and now I have the anxiety I used to have with BM allll over again as SD is now acting exactly like her in my own home. Unfortunately DH is playing right into her hand and thinking I am the one at fault. I have also been crowned to have one of the worst BMs on this site so I am not surprised SD behaviour is being fine tuned to act exactly like her mother. 

Update on SD

Thank you for your responses on my last post. I agree with what people have said about putting SD10 in therapy, regardless of the reasons why. Definitely agree it's a trend thing to have a mental illness and that anxiety is the norm. 
So the school rang DH this morning from the school counsellor. Apparently SD has sent messages to another girl in class about wanting to kill herself. She also sent a video of herself holding a screwdriver and not sure.. maybe attempting to cut her wrist. The mother saw it in her child's phone and reported it to the school. 

Self harm- any advice?

So I had an epiphany just now. I just saw SD post something on her TikTok page about being clean or people being clean. Now I immediately thought 'ok strange she's posting about people being drug free'. This girl is 10 and a very young 10. Then the last post was about being clean again and a reference to cutting themselves.
