You are here

Does anyone else get that feeling?

You know, the feeling when your skid walks in the door, and you just wish you were somewhere else because you surely do not want to be anywhere near them? This feeling is especially strong when you are stuck being home by yourself with them! Every time SheSloth walks into this house I think, "Why oh why doesn't she have someplace else to be until DH gets home? Can't she just go over to her friend's house or something?" I don't want to hear her. I don't want to see her. I just want her not here! I swear, when she walks in I instantly feel tension in my neck and shoulders!

I am actually staying at work right now to avoid SD27 who has decided that tonight would be a good time to come visit. NM the fact that she only lives 20 minutes away but can only seem to stop by when she is in our little town for something else. Oh - and she went on a week vacation with the new BF to meet his parents on the east coast but DH or I have yet to meet him. I totally understand how you feel. And it is only with this one of the four...the rest of them I am more than okay with....

I am that way with SD19 and my stomach turns even though she's been away at college for a month now.

SD13, however, is my permanent joy, morning, noon and night! Right when I got home, I commented out loud how I didn't feel well after new meds my doc had me on, and I went upstairs to rest for 15 minutes. Before I did, SD13 asked if she could check her grades online, because DH has banned her from electronics since her string of Fs came along last week. I thought of my friend Sally here on ST and told her, "You'll have to ask your father." SD13 called DH and I went upstairs to get my 15 minutes of peace before feeding the pack of dogs that we have.

I know all of SD13's grades on her assignments. I didn't say a word to her, just let her look for herself as I was resting upstairs. Not two minutes later, there is a tap-tap at my door. Did you NOT hear me say I wasn't feeling well? Do you NOT get that I know every damn grade you have, while YOU and your DH do NOT? WHAT do you think you'll gain by telling me of your latest dilemma? So I actually "grunted" from my bed, faking a catnap and mumbled I'd be downstairs in a minute.

As soon as I get down there, SD13 starts talking a mile a minute about how she got another F on an assignment and she doesn't know how because she turned it in and maybe she didn't put her name on her paper again and lions and tigers and bears oh MY!

You get the idea. I looked at her and told her I know all of her grades but it's up to her and DH to be responsible for what's going on. I shrugged my shoulders and said maybe you should tell your father since he doesn't know your sign-in info for the grades website. She looked at me with exasperation, waiting to hear something, anything, and I really gave her nothing except for another "talk to your father" line.....I'm kind of liking this. It will probably last for another week or until DH gives her the electronics privileges back.

This SD13 is like a fly buzzing around my head, but since I'm just a lowly SP, I can't swat her to get her outta my way. Yes, I feel your pain, Can't. Ugh.

Oh my, oh my! Just took a peek at the phone records for SheSloth. Oh, she is still texting during school hours after she was threatened this week with having her phone locked down during the school day if it continued (guess DH needs to be made aware of this). The surprising thing? IT IS THE EX-BOYFRIEND'S NUMBER!!! And the communication isn't one way, either! Wonder if dear Robbie knows about this? Wonder if this is why emo friend got pissed off (because maybe Robbie was just a means to throw us off after all, and SheSloth was really in a relationship with her...but then the ex came back around). Man...may have to start popping some serious popcorn over here! This crap is soap opera worthy! Wonder what DH will have to say!

CantKeep, can you block the ex boyfriend's number? Wink
Our cell plan allows us to temporarily block (90 days) with no charge and unblock at any time or you have to reblock after the 90 days.

DH says that SheSloth CLAIMS that there isn't anything going on with the ex-boyfriend...that he is just going through some stuff and "needs a friend"! Seriously? Is he gonna buy that? I couldn't help but say, "Oh, so since they broke up, she has been talking shit about him behind his back, but now he needs a friend and she is going to lend a shoulder? Sorry, but if I were him, she would be the LAST person I would want to confide in!" DH couldn't deny this, but simply made the excuse that she was taught by the best (i.e., BM) on how to be a mean, vindictive b***h! I also pointed out that there was a whole lot of texting going on during school hours still. Not sure if DH talked to her about it, because I was up at the gym. Reporting period ends Friday, so will be interesting!

I'm just waiting for all the boy's "problems" to be spread all over the school! She did learn very well from BM how to be vindictive!

I feel like that every second of everyday SD15 is there which is 24/7. I cringe at the sound of her voice and despise the "I'm in trouble at school but its everybody else fault" stories. It makes me sick at DF's lack of parenting that my eyes are permanently going to get stuck in the back of my head. There is no escape, no drop off/pickup and most nights I don't even want to go home.

I feel your pain for certain! Any time I hear SheSloth's voice, the hairs on the back of my neck stand! Even if it is only her singing in her room...which by the way always sounds like a cat dying! When she enters a room, I find myself tense...as I think what lies are about to spew from her mouth, what is she going to ask for this time and how much will it cost, what is she going to whine about this time? And I so know the "it's not my fault" thing. None of the other girls in color guard even like SheSloth, but it isn't her fault! No, it couldn't possibly be that she always acts like she is better than everyone else, or that she talks about them behind their backs...no, in her mind they are just mean people who don't like her, and she did NOTHING wrong! Whenever DH asks her about a 0 in the gradebook, it is always the teacher's fault...it's crazy how all her teachers always manage to lose her papers! She doesn't tell DH about something until the last minute? It's also the teacher's or the guard captain's fault! This is mostly related to guard stuff...but it is funny...all the other girls are always prepared. I told DH one time that either SheSloth was not paying attention when information is being given, OR the girls in guard are purposely trying to exclude her. Of course, both of those things are a possibility!
