Yuck.

Actually, my DH was supposed to pick her up from BM last night. But, naturally, BM scheduled an activity for SD this morning, which pushed back the pick-up to this afternoon. BM pulls this crap all the time. ESPECIALLY when it comes to SD. BM tells SD that her dad doesn't really love her and doesn't really want to spend time with her...

*gag*

On the one hand, I feel bad for my DH because he gets jipped out of time with his daughter (and she really needs the time with her dad).

But, on the other hand:

Girl Scout Cookies???

That is the question.

SD10, a notorious thief, and her BM, also a notorious thief, were in charge of ordering some Girl Scout Cookies. Unfortunately, our customers (all of our friends, family and neighbors) pre-paid. Big mistake.

Here we sit and watch all of these other people getting their cookies already and we wonder, where are ours??? We have people asking us when their cookies will be coming in.

Oh, how I wish I knew...

Oh wait. Now I do know. They were never ordered. Yup.

Actually enjoying weekend with the SS10?

Whoa.

Boy, I tell ya... there is a HUGE difference in behavior when there is just one of them in this house. Not that I like the kid just yet, but he has behaved himself ALL weekend. We have not had one problem with him. I could get used to this. Shoot, I might even start to like him if we could get more times like this.

I Love this Site

it is so nice to have somewhere to come to vent. This has been so therapeutic for me. I can finally say what I need to say - just to get it off my chest.

Seriously, dealing with these kids has become easier since I found this site. When something happens, I have somewhere to go to vent it out. Then I can go back out there and deal with whatever the hell it is that is coming my way.

Reading other's posts normalizes my feelings and experiences as a step-mom. I feel so much better knowing that I am not alone.

Thanks for listening everyone!

Divide and conquer...

My DH agreed to only have one of his kids this weekend, and only one next weekend. This is in an effort to try to increase his effectiveness as a parent.

Anywho, this weekend is with the SS10.

He's just... yuck. Rude. Yes, "rude" is the best word to describe him.

Oh well, at least it's just ONE rude child, instead of two ganging up and getting all out of control. The two of them together are absolutely HORRIBLE to be around.

Even though I am not looking forward to this weekend, I do feel confident that it will be slightly more enjoyable than normal.

I was a PAS'd child...

I am currently 36 years old. I have a brother who is currently 38 years old.

My mother was exactly like most of the BM's we discuss on here. She bad-mouthed our father; made visitation impossible; financially sucked him dry; and replaced him in our lives with every man she let stick a penis between her legs. The stories I could tell you about her would be no different than what you currently watch your skids go through.

F'd situation...

It took me a long time and a lot of arguing to figure out that he isn't a terrible father. He is just limited in his parental capabilities. Not everyone is a fighter. Not everyone is a warrior parent. Not everyone is cut out to fight this fight. We all have limitations. My DH is no exception to that. In fact, to be honest and fair, he may be more limited than most.

Email from teacher...

Ugg, so apparently SD's behavior is getting worse. The teacher emailed BF to let him know that she is currently failing math (is only writing numbers on a page and isn't trying anymore) and is disruptive in class. Big surprise.

Oh yeah, SD is going to hell in a hand basket. I don't know exactly what is going on with her, but I have a fairly good idea on how to fix it: lots and lots of alone time with her parents. The girl is starved for attention so she's getting it anyway she can. Even the negative attention feeds her. It's so sad.
