I think my hubby has finally seen the light! Well we will see at least........... I am stepping away from the drama and letting him deal how he best sees fit. After many conversations through the last 2 weeks he has decided its time for a come to Jesus meeting with his ex. He finally realized that leaving all the discipline to ex since the divorce 3 yrs ago was a huge mistake on his part. He plans to have a sit down with her this afternoon when he goes to get the kids for the weekend and discuss a way to get the kids on track to being respectful, grateful children rather than the hellions they have turned into. My mom always told me growing up the only this I was entitled to was food, water, and shelter the rest was a privilege not a right. Well its time that SD and SS realize this!! They think that its there right to have nice things, toys, electronic, nice clothing, etc. ITS NOT!! It is there right to have clothing whether it comes from the thrift store or high end store is dependent on how grateful they are to what they have. I want so bad to go in SD's room and remove everything but the bed and replace all her nice in style clothes with Amish dresses and CROCKS! But I have made a promise to myself to have faith in my husband that he is going to turn everything around and make things better.... At this point it would mean more to me to just know he tried even if it blows up in his face. I just want to know that I mean enough to him that he is willing to stand up to his kids and ex wife to protect me and my daughter from being disrespected and treated poorly. So we will see. Thanks for the encouragement so far. Gives me peace in knowing I'm not alone in this.
