SD11 took her meltdown to the extreme yesterday. She came home and DH told her to go do her homework. She went into her room. She came out and asked for some help. DH goes in there and shows her how to do a couple of them. He tells her to try and do a few on her own. She starts screaming that she doesn't know how. So he sits back down and works with her. They finish the ones due for today and DH tells her to do the other ones on the page b/c she needs the practice. She starts screaming that she isn't allowed to do extra problems or her math teacher will fail her (yeah, right).

SD11's Halloween Fun

SD11 was fuming last night. If you remember correctly, she called my DH an asshole on Friday. She came home Friday night, claiming to be sick. She was grabbing her side and crying. DH held off on her punishment b/c we weren't really sure if she was sick or not. It turns outs that she did have a touch of some stomach bug. By last night, she was feeling better. And, she was on a mission to go trick or treating with the other kids. DH and I did not buy her a costume and told her a week ago that she wasn't going b/c she was in trouble.

So Selfish...

Today is my DH's bday. He asked to sleep in this morning so I woke SD11 up. She asked that we wake her up early because she didn't finish her homework last night. I went in there at 5 and told her she needed to get up. I saw her walk down the hallway. I went back in my office and went back to work. At 6, the other three started getting up. I went in the kitchen to make breakfast for DD4. As I am walking back toward the kitchen, I notice that SD11 is sleeping. I went and asked her why she was still in bed. She told me she didn't feel like doing her homework and went back to sleep.

The Ongoing Homework War

DH and I have been dealing with SD11's refusal to do her homework since the beginning of the year. Her grades just came out. She managed to pass everything. She had 2 Ds. She was only 1 or 2 points from failing both classes. Her other grades were okay. But, I am so tired of hearing her excuses. It is never her fault. DH and I have been tracking her grades online. We knew she was going to get low grades because she never does her homework. The only way to get her to do her homework is to sit there and force her to do it. DH has given up on it b/c she starts screaming and crying.

SD9 has been having some issues with her teeth. If you remember, DH and I took her to court for neglect, including medical and dental. Both of the SDs have problems with their teeth. Well SD9 has two teeth that were hollowed out. BM didn't want them to pull her teeth so she had them put temporary fillings in. Over the last week, SD9 was having alot of pain. She was crying herself to sleep at night. DH took her to the dentist and had the two teeth pulled. They were baby teeth and there was no way to save them. This ended up costing us $315.

The War of the Sandwich

This morning was interesting. SD9 woke up in one of her moods. She was whining all morning. I was making her lunch since DH was running late. I made all three of the kids' sandwiches. As I was finishing up, SD9 came in and told me to remake her sandwich, b/c I put the may on the bread and not between the cheese and chicken. Apparently, she doesn't like her mayo on her bread. And yes, she told me. Her exact words, "Completely make my sandwich the right way. I am not eating that.

Oh how the tables have turned...

BM got a lovely surprise when the final custody order was sent out two days ago. She thought that she got away without having to pay CS. After DH's CS was stopped, BM cried to the judge that she was losing half of her monthly income. The judge told her that she would need to get a job. The judge didn't assign any CS to DH b/c BM isn't working. Well I guess, BM thought that meant she was free and clear. But, in the new custody order, it says she has 15 days after her first paycheck to send DH's attorney a copy so we can calculate her CS obligation.

BM doesn't like being told no...

DH and I handled the situation with BM's mom yesterday. First, he sat the SDs down and explained to them that their GBM was wrong. He also explained that it wasn't their fault, but that he is going to cut her out of the picture for a while. The SDs tried to argue with him about it. They told him that the knew she was wrong and that they weren't going to do what she told them. DH was firm that it wasn't their fault and that he would handle the situation.
