Its Friday Bitches!!!!! Yay!!

Some of us will be happy because the skids are not coming this weekend, and some will be stressing because they ARE coming!
This will make scheduled visit #2 that SD13 is refusing to come to. I feel thankful for the stress free weekend, but sad for SO because he misses her.

Anyways to put a positive light on the weekend.....

What's your favourite skid moment? A positive one....a time where the skid surprised you and said something nice, showed compassion or basically just acted like a normal kid instead of a skid from hell...

I'll go first...

It was Christmas this year. We always do a big thing at my moms house. My parents, SO, SD & I, and my 3 brothers and their wives and my 5 nieces. Dinner then presents after dinner which my mom ALWAYS goes overboard. This was SD's first year coming to my moms with us. I don't think she expected to get a lot of gifts. Well in true mom fashion my mother got SD just as many gifts as she got all the other kids, if not more. My brothers all even got her gifts.
She was so shocked and so happy and thankful that she actually cried, and gave my mom a huge hug. On the way home she went on and on about how lucky she is to have such generous "grandparents". That was my moment. And honestly, as much as I hate to say it, its one of very few moments where I have seen her greatful.

Whats your moment?

OSD- when DH and I got engaged she texted me and told me she was really happy about it and that I made her Dad really happy and that I was perfect for him.

SS- When he lived with DH and I, SS and I spent a lot of time together talking. I really enjoyed that time with him.

MSD- We laughed a lot when we got along. MSD can be very sweet and loving. (even if it is fake or an act and quite possibly she is crazy). But at the time I believed all of that and I enjoyed that time with her.

YSD- hmmmmmm she helped me unpack some things when I bought this house. That was nice of her. LOL

When SD was 19 or 20, she went to Michael's to get supplies to make herself a tie-dye t-shirt. She called to ask what size DD was so she could get her a shirt as well. I thought that was really nice, especially since there's a big age difference and SD was sort of jealous of DD living with DH full time and calling him dad.

The first Christmas we had DH's kids, SS, then 19, was on break from boot camp. He hit it off with DD who was 7 at the time. I have a picture somewhere of them playing with her Easy Bake Oven.

OSD told me I was a better mom to her than her own mother could ever be and if she ever had a baby she wanted me in the delivery room with her. It has been 7 years with this young lady and we are so happy to have one another. She and I are great friends but I try not to mother her too much, more of a friend if possible.

YSD, I don't have one because they are all only because she was using me and DH to get something.

I have lots with OSD and that is what counts!

My first summer with the skids (me and DH were engaged) we all went to a wild life safari park. Oh was it such a great time! The kids were so full of wonder and excitement as we drove next to a giraffe that was walking next to the path. Its was so fun. My BS was only 1yr old but was just super excited as well. We went to this god forsaken restaurant where we were talked into watching a cult like video. They were a vegan type restaurant (which we are not vegan) and quickly left when we found an out. But we had a laugh about the crazy menu options! It was such a great outing.

Hmmmmmm....SD will sometimes compliment something I have. That's a positive right?

A week later she owns the same thing by having her grandma on BM's side buy it.

For years, SD thought I enslaved her father because he did most of the laundry and cooking.

After she got married and had 2 kids and no job, she started getting mad that her husband did nothing around the house or for the kids. Not only did her husband (now ex) not do anything around the house, he barely talked to her, preferring to be on his Xbox or whatever. He had absolutely no respect for her (which was quite obvious when he started cheating on her).

One day she told my husband, "I wish I had a relationship like you and hereiam." Smile

Let me think REAL hard .. I guess when ss10 compliments my cooking since BM can't even boil an egg. He apparently also likes the house which is " always nice because at my moms it's like a dungeon ". Lol
