Update on yesterday...

Well my BS 14 did not win but he did a awesome job. DH and I were so proud.

So when i got home DH talked to me like nothing was wrong so i didnt even bring it up. Was to busy getting BS ready to go by the time I got home to even care where, if or what the hell was going on with SD....So I got BS's stuff together and headed to car. SD put jacket on so I figured great shes comming...

So we all get into car. BS is hyper of course because hes excited, nervous, anxious, hes preforming so of course eveything is in play. SD tells him knock it off }:) , that is all she said, DH pulls over car starts screaming at her, I was like :jawdrop: he tells her another word from you its done we discussed this. Now what was discussed I have no idea, DH and I have not yet had a minute to talk. So he pulls away again BS is talking to me now, no one else, SD16 again says cant you just shut up, DH looks in mirror and says nothing. We get to the school, about 15 min from house. He pulls up front and tells me and BS I will be back. Now we had to get there 45 min early, we were about 1 hour early, so 6. I get out of car. Help BS with all his stuff and we go in. BS asks me what is going on. I have no idea at this point. Well time goes by 1/2 hour goes by no sign of DH or SD. So I text DH. He calls me back, I am on my way. I ask where are you? he says I told SD she started any shit, just the smallest amount I was taking her to her mothers and that is where she will stay for the night :jawdrop: O...M...G...You are kidding? Oh no he wasnt. Now BM is about 1/2 hour away so 7PM on the dot he comes running in. Sits beside me and says now lets have a fabulous night with BS. I was speechless, i could not believe he did that. But I left it at that and just enjoyed my son.

Later DH told me what happened. Guess when he picked up SD she was crying, making a big drama deal of how life sucks and this sucks and blah blah blah....DH told her this behavior was childish, ridiculous and not going to be tolerated any further. She was making life worse for herself and only herself and if things did not change he would have no other choice to commit her in fear that her depression has taken over. Of course she freaked....He told her tonight if you mess up this night in any way shape or form for SM's BS you will be living with BM because i can not do this any more. One word and to BM's you go....Of course she doesnt want to go there but guess what she did. She called 10 times my DH cell but he shut it off. He did not answer her calls at all last night. It killed him not to but he didnt. I didnt say a thing.

This morning he talked to her she begged for forgiviness, apolgized to him, apoligized to me and this morning when she got home apoligized to BS. She says she does not know what is wrong with her but is going to try again.

Now thats all great but I have heard this speeech before so going to take it one day at a time once again. All i do know is CONGRATS DH....HE SEES THE LIGHT!!!!! Wink I am praying for the best here!!!!! This has happened before where she is all awwww awwww and then psycho child returns...Lets see....

We are supposed to have family weekend this weekend, pizza friday, cookout sat with a family game night and sunday just chillin.....I am hoping for the best!!!!

I'm so proud of your DH for being a real-life parent!!!!! If he continues with his changed behavior, I can guarantee that SD will too. Way to go!

Good to hear your DH followed through on his warnings and consequences, hope you rewarded him plenty for being such a good boy Wink Blum 3

He needs to continue down this path and hopefully sd will realise his word is law.

Glad you all had such a lovely evening! Hope your weekend goes as smoothly Smile

Yay DH! That is so awesome that he stuck with it. Hopefully he doesn't back off when she starts acting all nice.

I am glad things worked out and you enjoyed your evening...

Just my opinion, but telling your kids that you will bring them to the other parent if they don't shape up or cause any trouble is not a form of punishment.. I don't care how much they dislike their other parent. That is not parenting a child that is dropping a child they can't handle or don't want to handle. Punishment should never be I am bringing you to your Mom's house or you are going to live with your Mom/Dad if you can't do what I say or mess up.. As I said just my opinion.

You do realize this isn't a poor little kid. This is a 16 year old teen who could have even been left by herself for all of this. The poster didn't decide to do this her husband AKA the kids father decided thats how he was going to handle it. This "kid" has pulled a ton of crap and anyone would be at their wits end. I say if sending her to her moms makes her behave better she should go more often to mommy so she appreciates what she has when she returns to her dad and sm's.

It doesn't matter the age of the child... divorced parents using that "defense" as a behavior modification is PAS. There were plenty of times I wanted to drop of kids at their Dad's house because they were hard to handle, unruly, etc. If I was the BM I would have told him to deal with it. I am not the consolation prize for her bad behavior. Go to your Mom's because you wont listen, because I am so much better than her is the message that is sent.

i see your point. but bm in this case is punishment. at any rate it WORKS and dh is being CONSISTENT! this is critical. maybe he can find something else that works...but they are in crisis mode...this child is outta control!

I see her point to a certain extent. This "kid" is acting out and I think the stepmom,bs and dh all deserve to be able to enjoy themselves with out enduring her behavior. She was given a chance. She choose what she got. If the DH is consistent the SD will stop acting up because she will know he's serious. And with this kids behavior I wouldn't have left her home alone either. I would have done the same. I could see her calling 911 or something to be disruptive because all attention isn't focused on her.

Man, to be a fly on the wall on the car ride over to biomom's. Can't imagine she went quietly......

He did great! I agree that if he will keep up his end of making her pay for her attitude that it will change, but she is going to push him to see if she can break him, I hope he holds his ground.

Good news!! Happy dance!!
