Feeling negative around SD for a different reason

So DH has gotten a lot better with not showing favoritism or special treatment to SD. With a few slip ups here and there. So that has made my relationship with him better and as a whole improved the situation. SD still tries to be sneaky mean/bratty often, but that has also declined from the extreme it was at. Shes not any nicer of a kid at heart, but she cant get away with it as well so its put a damper on it.

Why attention seeking sucks

So anyone who has read my blogs knows that I cant stand the attention seeking from my SD, MIL, etc. And tons of others on here have the same complaints about people in their lives. And everyone just says to ignore it. Which isn't wrong or bad advice, but I've never really understood why it bothers me or gets under my skin so much. So randomly decided to Google "why attention seeking behaviors are annoying." Scrolled through some results and nothing really resonated.

SD was gone for 10 days. It was amazing. The weather was crap, all 3 kids and then myself all got sick, and it was still amazing. 

So anyway, alot of the issues that were happening when I first posted have gotten better. To be clear, SD herself is the same, but much less of a problem to me personally because of the advice I've gotten on here and it actually working over time. DH has gotten much better. Hes not 100 percent, but it's gotten better.

Why skid is creepy (this time)

So a few people have asked on here if skid is cruel to animals and I've always said no. Although she was when she was younger. Her and BM both portray themselves as over the top animal lovers, actually. 

Here was her convo with my ODS after school just now:

ODS: My grandmas dog died named (dog)

SD: okaaaay (in her snotty voice; this is usually about the only thing she says to ODS)

ODS: I really miss him

SD starts f'ing smiling! Like she couldn't contain her joy at him being sad about a dog dying. Creeped me out big time.
