Can I say spolied rotton....no its worse than that
I am about to paint on my car Sd Name Valet Service. The more I do the more I get walked on, but Im the one that has the bad attitude...or thats what my husband tell me.
It all started Friday night. See, this past weekend we were suppose to have sd, but she wanted to go to the fb game so we let her stay with her mom, because my husband had to be at work early Saturday morning and we could not attend the game.
Saturday afternoon, my sd calls her dad and asks him if someone could spend the night? Of course he said yes. Then she told him that she and her friend wanted to attend a fall kids party that started at 6. He told her she could attend. Well he had to go and pick her and the friend up at the mommas house (who lives in the country) and take them to the party (which was in the country in the other direction) and he also would have to pick the girls up.
Well, around 7:30 pm, he comes to me and asks me if I could go with him to pick the sd up because he was afraid he could not get back out there. I have a baby and he is usually asleep by 8:30 at the latest which meant that I had to get him up from his sleep and he would have to go with us. Well after I bitched abit I finally agreed to do it.
Around 9 15 (the party is over at 10 so we need to leave our house by 9:30) my husband gets a call from the sd and she TELLS him she is staying with her mom tonight, but he still needed to come get her. Ok, this is when I went off. My husband afraid to tell the brat NO tells her its ok and we would still come get her. I was like...HELLO the momma can come get her. He told me she was not at home. Well, my thinking is ok if she is not at home why is the daughter and friend going there to be alone. But, come to find out she was home by the time we got there and she was in her car waiting on us so the the sd and friend would get in her car and they would run to get a treat at the local restuarant.
After she go out i blew a gasket. its like we get shafted, or my husband does. ANd we had to get the baby out....grrrr. This child is going to be the end of me.
Why are divorced parents so afraid of telling children NO. I know why, but this child never gets told no from both sides. Its a sad situation.

If I won't do it for my kid I
If I won't do it for my kid I won;t do it for a skid! I would have told my dh nope your kid and you know you have to work either you go get her or make arrangement's but I will not get the baby out b/c you can't say no! Then I would have walked away. when he says something I would tell him tht he needs to learn how to ask and be considerate of me and OUR baby and when he can do that I will help but not if I am treated like that nope not happening.
I tell my kids no, also. I'm
I tell my kids no, also. I'm not divorced, I'm widowed but remarried to someone with kids also. I think in some situations, neither parents (at least from where I view it looking at my DH and the BM) want to come off as the "bad, mean parent" who says no. And unfortunately there are some situations where one parent (usually custodial) plays off of the other parent (usually noncustodial) to make life easier. In my kids' situation, there is no good cop/bad cop, there's just ME. And I don't hesitate to use the word NO.
