The day started out the same as always, DH has learned to help me out with the kiddos in the mornings since he works late and is not here for bed times. I took SD to school and DH took BS to daycare. On our way to school SD doesn't talk or anything, like I said before, when I try to make small talk she shoots me down so I turn the radio on louder than usual to kinda cut the tension.

I had a somewhat horrid day at work, had to take SD to therapy session and pick up BS; in other words I was a taxi driver Before dinner time, DH asked me to have SD do her homework before dinner time and so I did as I was asked. Well, that was MY first mistake. I would like to know WHY she only gets pissy when I tell her to do her homework. Dad just tells her "do your homework" walks out of the room and comes back after she completes it. If she needs help he will go help her and walk back out. I don't do that. I sit there and try helping her along the way. That is what my dad did with me, he sat with me and helped out along the way. But apparently when I help her she gets upset. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. She gets upset because I don't give her the answer and because I tell her she has to do it herself. I called DH and I told him that I was no longer going to supervise her homework duties. I HATE getting into arguments with her because I don't want to GIVE her the answers. I hate being the bad guys all the time.

If anyone has read my first post, this is only one of the reasons why I am so resentful towards SD. I really truly try to not hate her ways, but she makes it so hard! She only wants to be nice when she wants something, but that is true with most kids. uuuggghhh, I just want it to end! I would LOVE to get along with her, I wish we COULD bond!
