Is that MY chocolate?

CantKeepDoingThis's picture

This is what SheSloth asks DH when she sees the chocolate on the counter that I got at the store this morning. Why does she think it's hers? Because she has a school project next week where she is supposedly teaching the class how to make s'mores. When I found out about the project, I told both DH and SheSloth, "Then, someone needs to write me up a list of the things needed for this project BEFORE I go to the store Saturday morning." This was on Wednesday! Both DH and SheSloth know I go do my grocery shopping first thing on Saturday morning. No list was ever given to me! I didn't remind them again...not my project, not my job! While at the grocery store this morning, I did think about the project, but then reminded myself..."they didn't do their part...I'm not thinking for them!"

So, after SheSloth asked if that was her chocolate on the counter, DH asks if I got the stuff for the s'mores! I tell them both, "You didn't do what I asked, so, no! THAT chocolate is for the peppermint bark I'm making to take to church tomorrow!" DH tries to apologize for not getting me a list, and I tell him (SheSloth is sitting right there), "It isn't YOUR responsibility! It is HER project! SHE needs to take ownership!" I'm done letting her get away with not thinking for herself! Even after this conversation, she still hasn't put together a list! It takes 5 minutes to get a piece of paper and make a list! She is on her phone as I type this...she can send it via text! But no...guess it isn't that important! No, she is going to wait until 8 pm the night before it is due to suddenly ask for the items because she has to make them that night! I'm probably even being super conservative there! She will probably wait until 9:55 pm...while we are going to bed, to suddenly remember she has to put together 20 s'mores, and she never made a list of supplies! It will then send DH out to the store at those hours, and they will be up in the kitchen (which is right next to my bedroom) making a lot of noise until midnight while I'm trying to sleep!

Taking bets....now!

My room is next to the kitchen too. Hate it! Why does everyone wait until 11:00 p.m. to decide they need a goddamned snack? This is my BIOS doing this shit. DH is guilty of it from time to time also. Sometimes, I'll come out of my room, walk around the corner, and just stand there and mean mug whoever is in there banging around. They get the hint pretty quick.

But back to your post, you're right. It is she sloth's responsibility. I take it she volunteered for this, yes?

Supposedly, she is going to make the s'mores the night before, and hand them out for everyone to eat while she gives her presentation on how she made them. This is the final grade for her personal communications class (ironic, right). I already don't like the idea. I've told DH that the kitchen better be spotless when she (really they) are done! I mean, I just spent 2 hours making peppermint bark and shepherds pie for church tomorrow...but no one could tell if they walked into my kitchen right now (yes...that is what the chocolate was for)! If the kitchen is cleaned after, it will probably be DH that cleans it!

We went out for dinner, and she actually thought to ask if we could stop by the store and get her supplies. I was rather shocked! At least it is over with! Of course...she still needs to make them at a normal hour the night before! DH will probably need to be on her to get it done in a timely manner!

She is 15...high school class...not necessarily a grade, because it is one of those that everyone has to take, but it doesn't matter what grade they take it...it pairs with health. So, one semester, they take this communication class, and the other they take health. She had to do a "how to" presentation, and this is what she came up with!

I came home from the gym, and found SheSloth in the kitchen making her s'mores. Yeah...after she came home "sick" for the day! I wouldn't want to eat any of them!! She is in there licking her fingers and not washing her hands, coughing, snorting. She really is a gross person!

If they're greenish in color, she can always claim she bought festive green marshmallows... :sick:

im surprised that the school even allows prepared food to be brought in due to nut allergies, health codes, etc.

Me, too. Girl definitely didn't follow any health codes! I'm hoping most of the kids have noticed how gross she is and won't eat them. I mean, she has been having a smell about her, and they have to notice when she wears the same thing 3 days in a row. I would laugh if no one wants to eat them!

No no no no no no! Don't suggest any government entitlement programs! We already pay too much tax as it is! LOL

Oh...we have plenty over here! And, I can see SheSloth on about every one of them! Lesson from BM...milk the government for all you can! I would say I'm surprised that BM hasn't managed to get on to disability, but I can't say that for certain. She probably claimed disability some time ago for her mental issues that she says she has been diagnosed with.

Ha...I hide mine! I keep it dyed red/black. No one even thinks that I'm really a blonde...yes, I do my eyebrows, too. I have a day off today, and on my way to take care of those roots!

But seriously...BM says she is bipolar...and she probably is. Add to that the health problems she now has from becoming grossly overweight, and she probably is so on disability! Sad thing is...at one point, she was healthy enough to work, but didn't. she lived off other people and collected welfare. Now, her hubby makes too much for welfare, and the child support is gone...but she still seems to have money! Makes me think she has to be on disability! What irks me, is I couldn't get any help getting BD23 hearing aids when she was younger, because they didn't consider her impairment of 50+% disabled enough! Yet, you have someone like BM with self inflicted disability...something that could have been prevented by simply living healthy...and she can get money benefits for life! BD23 lives with hers with no help! She learned how to read lips to compensate, and went through years of speech therapy! She works 2 jobs!!! She doesn't complain!

Sorry...entitled people like BM irk me...especially when they raise entitled kids!

"Well BD23 sounds like a delight, why can't I get her as skid?
You can be so proud of that young lady."

Thanks! She had her issues as a teen...but when you consider the disability, being abandoned by her biological father...yeah, you would think at one point the kid just had to snap! Starting in 3rd grade (I guess that is when the cruel gene kicks in), she had to deal with being made fun of in school because of her speech. She would come home telling me they would say stuff like, "You talk funny...are you stupid or something?" And even though race shouldn't be an issue any more, she still dealt with a lot of racism in elementary school. Our neighborhood was mostly hispanic...and my kids are half. She would tell me the kids would make fun of her for being mixed. This mom spent lots of time down at the school throwing fits about things not being done to these kids doing the bullying! Sadly, my complaints always fell on deaf ears. I had BD23 in martial arts so she would have an outlet for her anger, and I would warn the school, "She just got best in three states sparing...I will NOT be held responsible if one of these kids pushes her to the limit that she goes off on them!"

When BS20 went into elementary school, a few kids tried to push him around, but he knew all he had to do was go get his sister! BD23 would stare down the kid so bad, and tell them if they messed with her little brother again, they were dealing with her! The kids wouldn't mess with BS20 ever again!

To this day, BD23 is pretty tough, and she has grown quite thick skinned. You don't want to screw with her! When ever SheSloth tries to whine that her life is so tough, etc. I want to smack the girl! She doesn't know tough! Yeah, her parents split when she was still a baby, but she has always had both parents wanting to be in her life, so much so, that they failed to parent! She has always been showered with basically whatever she wanted by a dad who felt guilty that her mom ran around and cheated on him! She has a mom who spent more time trying to be her best friend...so much that the kid did whatever she wanted! SheSloth doesn't have to live with being abandoned by her father. She didn't have to watch her father beat on her mother. Yeah, she has always had problems with friends...but that is because she has always acted like a stuck up little brat! She wasn't being attacked for things she couldn't change...like her skin color or a disability! Yeah...I'm not hearing about "hard life" from that girl!
