It was supposed to be 2 weeks...

First time blogger here.

A little background- SD15 and SS13 live with me and DH full time, BM has EOW visitation and is a sorry excuse of a mother in my opinion.  SD and I do not have the best relationship for the past couple of years, but I've taken care of them for the past 9 years. 

SD15 was supposed to be at an overnight camp program this week and then on Saturday they were leaving to go on vacation with BM for the week. Yesterday she calls DH saying she is sick and needs picked up. DH drives the 1.5 hours there.  They go to get her stuff out of the dorm she was staying in and he said it was at least 90 degrees in there.  He asked why they didnt turn the AC on and she said they tried, but it was broken.  He turned it on, no problem.  So, she probably had heat exhaustion from staying two nights in a hot room instead of asking for help or telling someone they thought it was broken.  Way to use that brain...

The camp gave her the option to rest for the evening which she left that part out when she called, but she decided it was best for her to come home.  So now we paid $150 for her to stay 1.5 days. 

I was supposed to have two glorious weeks...guess I'll be counting down until Saturday again.

Sorry. I know when you expect to not have to deal with the step and suddenly you have to it's such a downer. 

My formerSS lived full time with us. He would stay with his BM kindof mostly on Tuesday night...unless she had something else going on. When formerSO would walk in with him in tow because he wasn't going to his BM house it was like a kick in the throat. No peace for 2 weeks straight....

So sorry. How disappointing. Maybe you can do something for yourself everyday she is there. Hang in there. My skids go away to camp soon and I’m very much looking forward to it. Hope it doesn’t turn out like what happened to you. Take care

That's right.  Was dropped off Sunday afternoon and picked up yesterday.

OMG! I would make SD work off that money that she wasted by doing chores. But that is just me. The skids and DH call me a Nazi!

Welp, if she's that sick, she needs to stay in bed for at least a few days, resting in complete quiet and solitude. Right??

SD are on there own.  I would go out everyday and do something for your self. DH has to set up child care for this week

She doesn't require childcare. I don't really blame DH because when the camp called it seemed like they weren't really giving an option for her to stay due to the 'illness.'
