Sd will expose herself

Bday party fr her this last Saturday. Turning 17. Something felt off when i spoke to dh found that sd asked that i not attend her bday. Why- because a week ago i came home early and found her and boyfriend at the house. The rules are no dates without adults home, so i told her. I also let her know that i was recording our convo simce she likes to say i am yelling and irate to dh. Suprisedly i am not like this at all with any of the 3 other kids. However he always believes her pout and i am left defending myself against them. With that she did not want me there.

Fandangled

On the good news my husband is finally getting counseling for PTSD having to pull his best friend and brother out from under a drunk drivers car that hit him while walking with husband. sD is still using the situation to get what she wants. However puppy is becoming a dog, and people are less likely to overcome a dogs bad behavior therefore she is having to deal with that. She is flunking her classes, still trying to blame always the teachers. I have commented to husband that the way she trains( not) her dog is not any way his brother or us trained our pets.

The mole

I really wish she would move back to her mothers. The only reason she stays here is dh has no rules, and i am not allowed to put rules of other kids on her because.... ???once again husband and i had an argument, nothing to do with her, however she likes to insert herself and act as though it is all about her. Then she faines a huff and leaves to stay at boyfriends. ( i would not allow this with our other 3 kids) she uses eavesdropping to get what she wants. Sadly she does, and in the ling run this will not do well for her as an adult but i have zero say.

Gift of giving

Since the day that after manipulated by sd against mil, she sd yelled at her father- once done using me to stand up to mil, to divorce me. Dh told me to let her speak, well i have never been the same, or our two other sons in the house that heard her. They refuse to engage with her at all. Her actions caused a hige rift in our home once she moved in at 16. I have realized that i cannot shop for Christmas for her. Either i would go out of my way and buy something big that would say see i love you or juxtaposition something cheap that would say - there you go.

Why do you stay

I can only guess the only reason she stays is to get to do whatever she wants. Honestly i am burnt out. Many talk about how the SD back talks them, no mine does it covertly through text to her dad. I do not have any idea of her coming or going. The part of me that is a mother especially when dad is working out of town, worries. I still love her, i still remember when she was little and i still want her safe. However i am denied this, i am awful in a year. I am all to blame for everything that one gets called out on but not mom.

To make one see

Recently after our debacles i not knowing if our marriage was headed for divorce called my mil and fil, just wanted easy talk about a new car they bought. However it led to them saying their son is being manipulated by his daughter and that they felt for me and our other kids. What i did not know is that SD had cried( her usual) and asked grandparents for 1700 for a new computer she needed for school. I hates to break it to them but the school gives the students computers and wished they would have spoken to me. Then my Mil an Fil went on to say she then since has only been disrespectful.

Playing the victim

And it gets better. So with new puppy i found that SD was putting poop in our green bin. I told husband to please tell her not to do this or they will deny our services. A week later i am putting stuff in and low and behold poop. I asked him if he had told her and got a look- not response a look. So the next morning when she took the puppy out and came in i was getting ready for work, i said,"you cannot put poop in the greenbin." She immediately started talking back to me, how she hadn't, how she wasn't here this weekend. Yes but she was last night.

Mini wife

Recently my husband and SD decided she could get a blue heeler puppy. Mind you we have a cat and a Husky that she never has cared for. To top off we have 2 other children both boys, one my son from before the other ours together. Never could they have gotten a puppy. When we got our husky it was a family affair. They have to take care of it along with me, never husband or SD. Neither talked to me as the wife and full time worker. And to top it off she is not acclimating it to our cat, she is with boyfriend all day. I had heelers and they kill cats.
