First complete D weekend...
Went pretty well actually.
Disengagement was good!
DP wanted me to meet him for dinner out Friday but I had a busy day at work and just wanted a shower and my PJs, luckily he thought it was funny I turned down a date with him. Watched a movie of my choice, which the SDs liked as well (didn't invite them but they watched it with no complaints).
Saturday DP took SD12 to a movie. I ended up with SD9 all day due to a cancelled day with her friend. She knew I was busy painting the living room and kept herself busy with craft things. Not once did she say she was bored or didn't know what to do. DP was late getting home as I thought he would (good thing I cancelled dinner with friends). SD9 helped me make dinner. DP and Sd12 ate when they got home. DP was really PO'd at SD12 for how little she ate (I know she doesnt like what I made), and then he saw she had thrown her meal in the trash. He's been watching her eat more closely so he starting to see her issues much more clearly.
Today was a facial day (yay!) and then I painted for a while, finished the entry way and started on the kitchen a little. DP messed with my schedule and I found myself cooking dinner dammit. He knew I was pissed but then he did some extra stuff for me to compensate. No issues at dinner. SDs got hyper after they are so I cleaned up my stuff and left. Volume kept on rising with DP nicely telling them to keep it down...SD12 saying basically, no, we can do what we want. Then a huge volume increase again and DP lost it and girls headed to their rooms. I stayed out of all of it. And now...SD12 is in the kitchen getting ice cream again...30 min after dinner.
So I didn't cook for them except for tonight, no laundry, neither has showered (with us Wed-Mon) and SD9 has worn same shirt/sweater the whole time and changed her socks once. Not making sure we have skid food available for their lunches. I took back my rubbing alcohol from their bath because DP never got one for SD12. I have no idea how she's cleaning her pierced ears. I threw two more empty boxes from the pantry into the middle of the kitchen and will make sure DP cleans the floor this week...
It's so nice only worrying about me and DP again for the most part.

it's more than just a
it's more than just a possibility! and it can work out beautifully. one child exists under the same roof but doesnt get favors from u since we dont do favors for @$$holes. the other one gets small favors and more interaction with you cuz she doesnt treat you like dogschitt most of the time.
it's wonderful

What was the dinner SD 12 didn't eat? Next time, be sure there is no ice cream.
Ha! I'm still engaged more
Ha! I'm still engaged more with SD9 for sure.
However the last time I told her to change into a clean shirt I got an eye-roll.
The disengagement from her is for DP (and BM) who cannot seem to teach their kids about cleanliness. If she smells I'll tell her (like I do with SD12). Or if she asks I'll help....but NOT stepping into it!!!!
DP is on the outs with me this morning...I'm missing my workout because of HIS schedule....and he admitted it effected me at least. But now he's cooking for me all week and I have an extra workout now this weekend. Ugh.
The dinner was an Asian chicken soup (chicken tinola) SD12 hates all soups because she can't separate out each and every ingredient.

like a good hearty minestrone! whatever the soup is, make sure there's no "fillers" (starch that will turn into sugar, like noodles or rice) since it's for a body cleansing!!!
lots of veggies, lots of beans. things like lima beans or water chesnuts. spinach is good too since it permeates everthing and is super hard to pick out or eat around!
