SD is a Broken Record

SO and I moved from a one bedroom apartment into a house about 8 months ago. There has always been some talk of adopting a dog once we had a house, but we do not have a fenced in yard and agreed to wait until we do. However, every single time SD11 comes over she pesters us about getting a dog and she is RELENTLESS. I am always the one that has to shut it down because SO sits there and encourages it, which I find very annoying.

Skids' Activities

Does anyone else feel like BM purposely schedules activities during Dad's time? SD just joined a new softball team and will have one, sometimes two games every Sunday. Soon she will be starting basketball, which overlaps with softball so she will then have softball AND basketball games every Sunday. Since SO has her on Sundays, he will be the one shuttling her around to all of these games and the venues aren't anywhere near where we live. I've already told him that I probably won't be attending all of them because I didn't sign up for this.

BM Shenanigans

BM texted SO Saturday afternoon to say that she would not be dropping SD off Sunday and that SO could pick her up at 4 and spend an hour and half with her before her softball games (double header), if he wanted to. The reason for this was because SD was getting baptized at church and going to a lunch afterwards. SO and I were both a little shocked, as this was the first we had heard of this. According to BM, SD has been asking to be baptized for a while - a little surprising since she has only ever mentioned going to church with her GBM a couple of times.

What's with the Sudden Change?

I am bored and probably overthinking things, but I have noticed a recent change in SD11's behavior that concerns me. While we were away for the weekend visiting SO's parents, SD was hanging all over him. I haven't seen her do this since she was 7 years old. She would stand right up against him, holding onto his arm because she was "cold" or she would lay her head on his shoulder because she was "tired". It was definitely a little odd and I could tell that it was making SO feel uncomfortable. Has anyone else's skids suddenly become very affectionate towards their father?

Weekend Away

SO and I took the Skid to visit his parents this weekend. It was a somewhat enjoyable trip and would've been more enjoyable if I had been feeling up to it. SD has really matured over the years, but still has co-dependency issues. She is 11 and cannot be in a room alone. If you get up and leave, she will either follow or go where someone else is. We went to a museum that is mainly geared towards children and one of us always had to be with her. This means that four adults, two of which are elderly, were having to climb things, fit in tight spaces, go down slides, etc.

The last couple of days have been rough...

I posted in General Discussion a few days ago, and now everything has spiraled out of control.

Background: On Sunday, SD came over for a few hours. I was not feeling well, so I had gone back to bed. After SD left, SO was giving me the cold shoulder so I asked if something was wrong. He told me that he thought it was rude that I didn't come out of the room and say hello to SD. I decided to just leave it alone.
