Another year, more problems
It's been about a year since I last posted here, but the problems continue to grow.
My DW didn't believe me when I said that the SD7 spoke and acted very disrespectful to me when we are alone. It kept getting worse and worse until I told DW that I'd rather have SD7 go to her bioDad's house instead of watching her. I don't think DW really believed it could be that bad. Until recently.
Lo' and behold, SD decided to act that way in front of my DW with me. DW was flabbergasted. All I could say was "I told you so." SD7 yesterday lied right to my face in front of her mother, telling me the opposite of what she had told my DW just 15 minutes prior. DW finally admitted that there is an issue. So maybe things will change now. Though I doubt it.
On to other problems... so last year we enrolled SD7 into a charter school by us that has very good reviews and seemed like it would be great. SD's bioDad was on board with this, and DW and I thought it would be good because when BS3 starts elementary he is guaranteed admission because of his sister going there. I should have realized what a BAD idea it was before we signed her up.
See, the school requires parents to do 20 service hours at the school over the course of the year. They will also take donations towards those hours (but not money, just donated items they need). I donated my old drum set to their music dept. and put in a couple of hours of work - giving us 12 total completed at the beginning of September. So, guess how many hours DW and bioDad have done? Zero. Ziltch. Nada. At least DW has an excuse - she works full-time and is going to classes. I have no problem picking up her slack, she's my wife. However, BioDad has no job (he was fired twice in the fall), and he has yet to help out at her school.
I was thinking I was going to get screwed into doing all 20 hours, but I'm fed up. I'm ready for SD7 to see what a fuckup her father is. I'm not doing any more hours. Period. If she isn't allowed to re-enroll, it will not be on me. We can tell her our family did our fair share but her father did not. The only thing that sucks is that my son may lose the ability to go to that school because his sister and her father are such screwups. But whatever, I will fight for him when the time comes to go to a good school. I am not going to put in my time for SD7 anymore.
Ah. Feels good to vent.

Thanks. DW has already
Thanks. DW has already informed BD about his need to do the hours. Multiple times since last fall. Each time there is some excuse... such as he can't remember the website login info that allows you to register for a shift, etc. Nevermind that he is then provided that info and STILL does not do it.
