SD still has no manners

So glad weekend is over. SD visited after being away for months. SD came very boldly in to the kitchen and asked me, what she could eat. I say boldly because her body language was aggressive. She is a very very healthy child. I told her to get a Lunchable and some Fruit. She got the items and headed toward her room. I said uggggh You need to eat at the table. We dont eat all over the house . She rolled her eyes and sat at the table. We had plans for Saturday to drive to the country and visit DH's home town. See some family we had not seen for years. I told him I was going to stay home. He said NO, I want you to go with me. It wont be the same if you don't go. I went. SD did not speak to any of the family once we arrived. She sulked and pouted. I was so ashamed. As it was my first time meeting some of the family members; I just home they understood that I did not birth this child. BM called while we were driving. She had a screaming fit on the phone ;something about DH bringing SD back to her early. Well Sunday we went to church and to IHOP for breakfast. My DD22 met us. SD sulked and pouted all through church service. She perked up when we reached IHOP. She ordered chicken and waffles. She poured blueberry syrup and ketchup over everything on her plate. She proceeded to eat with her hands. She had syrup and ketchup up to her wrist. I tried, I really tried to keep my mouth shut. I couldnt do it. I told her to pick up her fork and eat like a lady. She says "but its GOOD". SMH. Fast FWD. MY DH takes her home and receives a text message from BM later that night, which read Be the type of man you would want your daughter to be with" then " CANT YOU DO ANYTHING ALONE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER"

I can't stand the bad table manners!!! What is wrong with these kids these days? Does no one teach them table manners or self respect? How are these kids not embarrassed by how they look when they are eating! It blows my mind!

Don't you just love the BM text that inevitably comes shortly after the skids go home?
We've put a stop to that by talking to SD13 and telling her that the next time she goes home and tells BM about ANYTHING that has gone on at our house, she will not be welcome back. We've had issues before where SD has gone home and told BM we had an argument, or dad said this or SM said this and then BM will bitch about it later.
SD now knows that what goes on at our house stays at our house and the first time BM mentions something that has happened at our house that we didn't tell her ourselves she will not be coming to our house anymore. It's harsh I know, but we have decided that we shouldn't have to worry about what we do in our own house for fear that SD is going to tell BM. We don't grill her about what goes on at BM's house because we don't care. BM is a jealous bitch who always wants something to complain about so she's constantly asking SD about stuff that's not her business.

You are so Right. Its all about jealousy. She cant stand the fact that DH likes my company. We enjoy doing things together. You can probably guess that when he and BM were a couple, they didnt do things together. They never married. They lived together because they created a baby and moved in together for financial reasons. Also, I doubt if that threat would work with my SD. She has no sense of reality. She just says whatever feels good at the moment. She plays her parents against each other. Its a mess and sometimes I really regret that I am in the middle of it. Thanks for your comment. It helps to know that there are ppl who understand how I feel.

Did dh not want to be alone with SD? She was definitely pushing buttons. It was good that you went.

I love that scenario. However, if BM were presented with that scenario, she wouldnt GET it. She is operating in an alternate universe. She will not move on with her life. It blows my mind
