Update to the birthdays with SD16

imjustthemaid's picture

I have been so super busy the last 3 days. Sorry it took so long to update!!

Ok so Monday was my birthday. I said something to DH the day before about how SD cannot even bring herself to say happy birthday to me. He got defensive. Whatever.

Monday afternoon I get a text from SD asking me to get her a bunch of stuff from the store. Then at the end she says oh yeah and happy birthday. That was a big step for her. I totally see thru her though. She was only asking for stuff to prove that she can get stuff on other peoples birthdays. It sounds crazy but that's just her. She would never say happy birthday to my face!!

Monday night we are waiting for DH to get home to do cake and presents. SD is being a bitch asking what are we doing for dinner. I told her we are getting take out because its getting late and DH told me not to cook. He took me out to dinner Saturday night for my bday anyway. Then SD goes and CLEANS HER ROOM!! She hasn't cleaned her room in years. AND she vacuumed it. She had no idea how to use it and had to ask me. Me and DD11 totally saw thru this. She was going to grab DH when he walked in so I wouldn't get any attention and be like daddy daddy daddy I cleaned my room, come see, daddy daddy. Ugh!

It backfired because DH comes home and she gets bitchy with him about dinner. She starts insisting on picking the place. He said its imjustthemaid's birthday and she gets to pick. She storms away all pissed off. Then when we get dinner guess what the little bitch got----spaghetti and meatballs. But whenever I make pasta she says she can't eat pasta or sauce because its hurts her wittle belly!!! I opened presents and she was texting the entire time. Sang happy birthday, she never looked up. At least she didn't cry.

Tuesday-She ended up getting picked up from school by her bf. I went to DD11's school play during the day because BD4's preschool graduation was that night at the same time as the actual play. SD did not come to the graduation of course. MIL came and was actually very nice. We came back to the house and of course they bring up BM. Not saying nice things but honestly can something just be about BD without bringing up BM and SD!!! Even in the middle of the graduation I heard DH say SD's name!! Ugh!

Wednesday-BD4's 5th birthday!! DH told me to tell SD she could go out with her bf because he didn't want her ruining the birthday. She ended up staying home because he couldn't come get her. Ugh! BD wanted pinkberry (frozen yogurt place) so I picked some up for all the kids. SD16 loves pinkberry. No thank you or anything. Then DH gets home and its time to open presents.

SD didn't like that DH was paying attention to BD opening presents. She gets her ipod and looks up a driving school and starts telling DH that she wants to enroll in this driving school in the summer that is in BM's mothers town. Now SD has not mentioned driving school at all. She turned 16 in October. She picked this moment in time because she couldn't handle daddy giving BD attention and needed to put the attention on herself. She went on and on-daddy this and daddy that. I was going to kill her. I am trying to video tape BD opening presents and being cute and all I hear in the freaking background is SD's fucking voice and DH talking to her about it. Then DH brings up BM and I lost it and yelled at him that I don't need her fucking name on my BD's birthday video and to cut the shit right now. I wanted to kill SD. She knew exactly what she was doing. She does this shit all the time. Whenever the attention is not on her she starts this crap. So DH tells her to sign up for the $750 driving school!!! Whatever I am staying out of it. She already messed it up because the parents have to take a 2 hour class in order for her to get her license and she was telling him it was optional. Its not but I am keeping my mouth shut!!

Then its time to order dinner. We let BD pick the place. It was just a sandwich shop that delivers. We all get sandwiches, BD gets mozzarella sticks and SD16 gets a huge dinner complete with salad!!! Then she starts demanding that DH order soda. He says he is getting root beer because we all like it. She starts whining that she doesn't drink root beer or orange and wants coke. None of us like coke. He gets orange and she ends up drinking it. She drinks root beer and orange all the time. Once again just trying to be difficult because the attention was not on her!! When we sang happy birthday she never even looked up. She was on her ipod texting the entire time.

At least this morning DH acknowledged that she was only talking about driving school to get attention on her. But he claims the birthdays were a success because she didn't cry for once. Unbelievable! It could have been worse and it usually is.

Friday its FIL's 70th birthday so I have to make another cake. Sunday my parents are coming into town and we are having a "party" for BD's birthday. Its just my parents and MIL coming. I have to make another cake and cook a big dinner and appetizers and stuff. I have made more cakes and cupcakes in the last week for last for a month!! Today I will be cleaning the entire house. I am so exhausted from doing all this running around the last few days!!

I am praying SD does not come home after school today. I really have had enough of her!!! Thank goodness she is planning on spending most of the summer at BM's mothers house. I don't know how I survived before she starting going there all the time!!

I'd make DH watch the video of your BD opening gifts. Just so he can listen to exactly how shitty SD is. I know... he 'admitted' it... but make him WATCH it over and over and over again so hopefully it sticks in his head!

I am about to make the dvd right now. I kept hitting pause because I didn't want to hear her voice on my video so I missed half of her opening presents. At least he did see what she was doing. At first I don't think he did because he was talking to her and going along with it, then he must have seen the look on my face and realized what was going on.

I agree!! I was not too happy with him either that he kept it going. Then he finally caught on and stopped answering her and focused on BD.

She is so immature. She acts like she is younger than my DD11. It cracks me up that my DD sees right thru her!!

Nothing funnier than when my 4 year old calls SD out on being an attention whore. "SD! Not everything is always about you!

Wow, she's quite the attention whore, but I already knew that. Your 5 yr old is freaking ADORABLE!!!!

Making more cakes? Shit girl, you've been making cakes for months it seems!

Crossing my fingers that SD doesn't come home Smile

Isn't she so cute!!! She really is so sweet.

I have made so many cakes. I made that sleepover cake for family fun night. I made a bazillion cupcakes for BD to bring to preschool. I made a cake for her birthday last night. I am making FIL a cake Friday. I am making BD another birthday cake for Sunday. Plus Sunday I have to make taco dip, cream cheese bars, meatballs and sausages and I think I am going to make baked ziti. I can't wait for it all to end!!!

Wow lots of cooking/baking going on at your place. Glad I live so far away with trying to get into bikini shape and all!

Yes, she is ADORABLE and looks a lot like you. So cute!

imjusthemaid - I love your blogs the most because I swear we have the same evil SD. You wrote: When we sang happy birthday she never even looked up. She was on her ipod texting the entire time.
I-m so happy
YES! EXACTLY!

Question, what do you do for HER birthday? EVIL's birthday is coming up and I am planning on returning the favor of not singing and texting. I'm also not doing a card or a gift Smile

My other two steps are twins and they are awesome. Their birthday is in August and I will pull out all the stops for them. Cake, cards, presents, singing.

If DH or EVIL say *anything* to me about this discrepancy, I'm just going to say - you get what you give. EVIL was awful to me on my birthday, and is rude to me every other day. On Christmas, she opened the gift from me of $200 UGG boots and acted like there was a turd in the box because they weren't the $230 ones she had asked for. She exchanged them.

The twins on the other hand are grateful, cheerful and kind. I'm hoping that this will prevent her from being awful on gift-giving holidays in the future?

I married DH when SD had just turned 11. I met him when she was 10. So since her 11th birthday I have always made her a special cake, hand picked all of her presents and really put thought into them, planned parties and invited all of her friends. I really went all out like I did for my DD.

Every year she got nastier to me. Then 2 years ago she had a shit fit over her gifts and called them all cheap. I told DH I would never buy her another present. So the next year DH did it all. He bought and wrapped all of her presents. He picked up a cake from the food store. Once again SD complained about all of her presents. She actually handed most of them back to him and said she didn't like them and to just give them away. She called the nice camera he bought her a cheap ass camera. DH was very hurt and was finally able to see where I was coming from. I now ignore her birthday. I stand there while she opens her presents. I stand there while DH sings happy birthday. She gets what she gives!! I will never pick out another present for her ever. After we sing happy birthday I go in my bedroom for the rest of the night. I don't even take pictures of her while she opens her presents!!
