I came up with a few phases=definitions that may help some new Stalkers. Please feel free to add to the list folks. :)

From SO

“I want you to co-parent with me” = “I want you to agree with every parenting decision I make and keep your mouth shut on the ones you don’t. And it would be great if you could be the heavy so I look like a hero.”

“Why do you have a problem with Skid(s)?” = “I know exactly why you have a problem with Skid(s) but by admitting it, it would prove I haven’t been much of a parent.

Like clockwork

Sd15 arrives tomorrow and dh is pissy and picking fights with me. This happens every time she comes. Every. Single. Time. I'm so tired of fighting with him up until the second she arrives and then be told to 'let it go'. Screw you dh. I will not put on a happy face when your precious train wreck arrives. Of course that will make me look like a raging bitch but I don't give a shit anymore. She hates me anyway. Thank god I was asked to babysit Saturday night. What you don't know is I'm leaving 2 hours early.

BM's idea of 'consequences'

SD15 skipped school after forging a teacher's signature on form she has to have at school (she's on a behaviour contract). She skipped for the day and went to a boyfriend's house that no one knew existed for the day to 'talk'. School called BM. Busted.

The only reason she wasn't suspended was it was the week leading into exams and she would miss the review classes. BM said as long as she passed all her exams she could keep the boyfriend.

'You have it easy' Really DH? REALLY?

After a rather long 2 weeks (and more step drama) DH and I settled into the backyard for a fire and some wine. I felt myself relaxing and he brought up SD15 and some recent issues...he asked my opinion on her (which I know not to answer; I really wanted to enjoy the evening) I just kind of shrugged and he was not impressed. He responded with 'I forgot how easy it is for you'.

You know I love you. I tell you that everyday. And I know you love me. We've known each other since we were 15 and I was fully aware of all your personality 'quirks' (as you were mine) going into this partnership. I never question that you have my back.

Finally a Father's Day for DH

DH has not had a Father's Day weekend with sd15 in 10 years. She has chosen to be 'busy' with BM and stepdad every year and BM will never force a visit. On our last visit with her she overheard me talking about the dinner we were planning for my dad with my brother and his family. She asked when it was. I told her on Father's Day and that she was welcome to come. She just walked out of room without saying a word.

My DH!!

My SD15 is a chronic liar and drama queen. It's to the point that I don't believe anything she says ever. We had her this weekend and after I went to bed on Friday, she and DH had a 'heart to heart' talk. Apparently things at BM's place is not as rosy as we have been led to believe. She said that she is constantly getting in trouble for things she didn't do and feels her stepdad is too strict with her.

Holy crap that almost totally backfired on me...

I unexpectedly had to tell DH last night that my family dinner this weekend was cancelled (Please see my 'this week's dilemma' blog for background). DH is on nightshift this week so we only see each other for about 15 minutes a day. He got up a little early yesterday evening and mentioned that he had to call my dad about something before he left. I panicked because I knew that my dad would mention the dinner being rescheduled and DH would wonder why I didn't mention that.
