Need tween girl advice!

So I am constantly finding the bathroom door WIDE open while SD10 is showering. And it drives me crazy! Like seriously, close the freaking door. How hard it is it to close the bathroom door. I mean really the bathroom should really never be open anytime someone is in it. And with puberty right around the corner she needs to learn to be more private about this kind of stuff. HOW do I get her to close the freaking bathroom door???? Getting pissed doesn't work, otherwise there wouldn't be a problem, because I get pissed every time.

6 days without SD10!!

I am so excited for this weekend. BM is taking SD10 at 9:30 tomorrow morning and I wont have to see her again until I pick her up after work on THURSDAY! I am so excited. For four years we had 100% custody, and then in June she started two overnights at BMs house. And now BM wants to take her to Nebraska for the weekend, then will have her usual Tuesday and Wednesday with her. I have plans with friends and a date night scheduled. Of course we have the baby, but she's mine and only 8 months so not a little shit like SD10.

OH, and a crossed boundary

Oh... and DH crossed a huge boundary of mine after two weeks!

I told him that when school started I would take SD10 to school on Monday and Tuesday, then BM on Wednesday and Thursday, and he would have to take her on Friday. Friday is my day off and I am not going to try her to and from school that is 20 minutes away on my day off. The first week of school he took her on Friday, but this past week...

On the topic of Hate

WHY is it that our stepchildren can tell us that they HATE us and we can't say anything back? I mean, I get it, they are children and we are adults, but... they also know what they are doing, especially SD10 and they do it intentionally.

I can't WAIT for school to start

I am ready for bed time to change to an hour earlier. It is 9 pm now and SD is still sitting with us watching TV. I almost got up and left earlier, because she is not someone I want to spend my nights with, but I sucked it up. However, once school starts, she'll be laying down for bed at 8:30. I'm having to be the one to tell her it's time to go to bed. I would leave it to DH, but if I did that it wouldn't happen on time.

SURPRISE- I'm "mean"

I'm alone with SD10 on Friday and Saturdays. I hate it, but it saves us money on day care and most day cares aren't open on Saturdays. Today she went out bike riding with a neighbor friend for an hour, came back and then wanted to go over to her house to run in sprinklers. I let her do these things because it gets her out of the house, which is a huge plus for me.

Help! Unwanted Commets from MIL

So I have learned from DH how to handle SD. He has always supported me (in punishing her) by telling me that I need to follow through on my "threats." First it was time outs, but now that she's 10, it is taking stuff. BM was not very authoritative and DH had a big issue with that, hence his support in my follow through. Therefore, I have an a positive influence on SD attitude and respect and MIL and FIL notice this difference.

Support ME goddamit!

Tonight was one of two nights with DH. Tuesday through Saturday we are lucky if we see each other for more than hour before I go to bed. I work mornings, he works nights. But Sunday and Monday are his days off and I work. So he had all damn day with SD10. And then when I get home he spends the first 40 minutes finishing an episode of some show. Whatever, I hang out with my daughter, 7 months old. A while later, he makes dinner and we all, DH, SD10 and myself watch an episode of cupcake wars. Well I hold baby while they eat, put her to bed and then I get to eat.
