My DH and I have been going to counseling with our pastor for the past month or so. This Friday, he actually offered some GREAT advice. DH has a tendency to be too easy with SD15 and I feel she gets away with WAAAYYYY too much. Our pastor had us reverse roles and asked me to pretend to be DH when confronting SD15 with an issue, and asked DH to do the same. We did and he suggested that when dealing with SD15, DH plays 'bad cop' and I play 'good cop.' He feels this would help because DH always tends to be the 'captain saver' of everything that she does.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any great places to stay near Flint Michigan in June. I am graduating with my MBA (YAAAYYY MEEE) and I have about 10 family members that are attending. Would like to keep us all together and don't really want to stay in hotels.

I must say that I am inches away from LEAVING! My DH tells me I give her TOO much power, but I am really SICK of this child. My SD15 is really making me dislike my DH and I think she is ruining my marriage. My DH keeps telling me that I am allowing her to take my power and it won't get any better until I stop giving her that much control. How do you NOT let your skid have sooooo much control over your life?

OMG - I thought it couldn't get any worse. First of all, my SD15 isn't pregnant. She lied about everything!
But wait, that's not the half of it. I made her take a preg test on March 11th. It took me a whole 45 minutes to get her to actually pee because she said she didn't have to. That's when I figured she wasn't preggo. Anyway, I finally got her to pee and the test came out negative. I started screaming at her because I told her she caused so much heart ache and pain over these past few days.
