I haven't blogged in awhile. Things are about as bad as they can possibly get. Both SKIDS (SD17 and SS19) and I are totally disengaged. They are now allowed to miss school, DH does nothing about it. After they have both cussed him out repeatedly telling him to "shut the F up, get the F out of their room, you are stupid, you are a piece of shit," his stance is let them let enough rope out to hang themselves, its their choice.

So, after being tardy at least three times a week, marked absent three times, SS18's homeroom (Algebra) teacher FINALLY calls me. She asked if he was sick today and I told her, honestly, I have no idea. I see everyday where he is tardy and I have tried my best to get DH to understand and take responsibility but I'm fighing a losing battle. I told her I was glad she finally called and to please call DH. Maybe this will be what it takes for him to get SS in line.

I should have known better. Before summer I put a mason jar in my bedroom (out in the open) where I put change and bills in it calling it our "Vacation Fund." H knew about it because if I got extra change/bills I would comment that I needed to put it in the fund. Well, yesterday he asked if I could stop and get some cash for SD17 "Princess" to have to go to Chick Fil A in the am. I wasn't going to make a special trip just for princess and thought I would just take out of the vacation fund. I go to take out some cash this a.m.

I was thinking this morning on the way to work, my H is a crappy Dad but one heck of a roommate to his kids. SS18 now has 7 tardies and two absences in 3.5 weeks of school. SD17 has two tardies and now strolls in at 11:00 every weeknight. She comes in, drops her book bag and goes to her boyfriend's house. When I ask H why was SS late to school again, his response "I don't know but I'll find out." And this morning, I say "I guess SD thinks her new curfew is 11:00" he then ask what time she got home and I said 11:00! His response "I'll get her."
