I am sitting here drumming up all these issues that may affect my SD13. Stressed actually. I turned to my husband after SD told him this weekend "he has no brains" that he needs to speak to the mother to find out more. If there is something that was done to her, we need to know so we can fix. 

Well the mother reveals:

+ SD doesn't want to come because we gave her grief about making up her bed and that's a no no apparently. 

+ We object to her phone usage and she needs more than 4 hours per day. Why? Because she failed the past two terms and we want her to dedicate times to her studies... so she locks up in her room and speaks to NO ONE.  

+ She doesn't want to come over because our home is boring and she doesn't want to babysit the younger kids. We have a nanny!

+ She only wants to be picked up in the Audi and not the Acura in front of her friends. The Acura is crap and we need to change the cars. 

She is living in some kind of reality that we are RICH and while we are comfortable, I will never give into this BRAT's demands. 

We don't give allowance, we objected to too early phone usage, we insist on tutors because she has failed for two terms, but the mothers prevents all of it... and now well I just don't give a crap anymore... she has raised an entitled teen girl with questionable self esteem with equally questionable values. I can't really speak to the parenting at her mother's house but the little I know it is not compatible with how I parent my children. With her mother being the one to book trips to the caribbean and constantly using her last dollar to renovate her house, buy them the latest gadget to up their standards on a teacher's salary, I am not going to match that even though we can do it hands over fist. 

The sweet revenge and what she didn't know is that I was giving them the benefit of the doubt and took them on a  camping vacation  as a test run to see how they are since we are ready to have everyone traveling now and giving them so access and all she did was complain about how she needs a cabin, internet, electricity and never again will she go on vacay again unless it well instagram worthy perhaps. We all had a good time but she was very unpleasant and I wanted to test it out because of their behavior lately. I dont want to be one of those family who spends a gazillion dollars on the vacay to relax and enjoy but only to be bogged down with complaining teenagers.. no thank you!!!

So today, I have booked trips to Iceland, India and Italy, New Orleans and California  and I guarantee you she is not coming or her brothers. She is treating us like we ABUSE her here.... she better get used to traveling 25 miles or nearer with her attitude because I am OVER THIS MESS!!! DH is completely with me because he is not happy with their behavior and is trying to no avail.... 

I take my children away to volunteer and be apart of the culture... this past summer, the mom took them to PR and they come back complaining  after Huricane Maria... I am like are these people for real??? Mother and children are freaking out of touch. I would never FUND their wants.
