So if you have read my previous blogs you know the struggles I have with SD10. She was the only child to my DH until DS3 was born and man let me tell you MIL still acts like she is which has made SD feel entitled and feeds into her baby attitude! DH and myself have DS3 and DD 6 months old together and I have BS8 from previous marriage. DH family likes to treat SD like she is still the only child in the family and often they believe her over BS8 when SD does anything bad! MIL only has pictures up of SD10 and not of the other grandchildren!!!!

It's the dreaded weekend for us to have SD and already my anxiety is high! I always try to have a positive mind set and say myself "this weekend will be good!" It's also the weekend I have BS8 ( dads get BS8 EOW) we keep SD and BS8 on the same schedule because they like to play together (or use to anyways). On weekends we have all the kiddos I use to plan things for all of us to do because SD10 get very bored and can't self entertain even after buying her colors and books she wanted .

I really feel like BM pushes SD10 to act older then she is and think she is ready for things not appropriate for her age. BM I tries to be a "cool mom" and bleached SD hair when she was prob 5 which has completely ruined her hair now that she 10. Well SD started asking for things that I really don't like are appropriate for her like some facial wash from ulta, Apple pen, expensive perfumes. BM doesn't talk with her and tell her these items are not really appropriate for her and SD of course feels entitled and spoiled. One time when SD was 9 she came over with vagisil body wash!

So if you have read my few blogs you know I have a bratty SD10 who acts like a baby. I think this issue got worse when BM divorces STepdad, SD then pushed herself DH. So BM has been doing questionable things like bailing out on Christmas 2 years in a row(we have SD EOW) BM has not worked in 9 years and suddenly decides she wants to find a job in a city 3 hours from us and where she lives with her mom and SD. So BM moves out of town Already for 2 months now and left SD with grandma, trust me i told DH how wrong that was!
