SD's Birthday...........

So SD had a birthday last week. We had been planning a party at the skating rink. Well it turns out that she was fighting with her friends so she was really sad that she would have no one at her party. So I decided to just invite family to our house so she would have some type of celebration for her bday. I go out and get decorations send SO to get the cake and her new phone (which was the gift from SO and I) invite the family get everything ready to celebrate. I felt bad for the kid because she was fighting with her friends so I wanted to make it nice.

Well it turns out that she made up with one friend and when I got home from work she was down the street at that friends house. It gave me time to get everything pulled together before she got home. She walks in and sees all the decorations and says nothing!!! I thought oh well she was just excited because her friend was with her. So we let her open her gift from us which was her new phone. Again no thank you just griping about it because it didn't have her contacts in it. Now I am pissed!!! SO just tells her to watch her attitude she gives him a shitty look and runs off with her friend. I say to him WTF was that??? He looks at me like What??? I let it go because people were coming over and I wanted to have a nice time.

It ended up being a really nice time SD21 came because her bday was the next day she was very nice. Gave me a hug and told me she loved me and missed me. I thought it was a nice gesture then she told us she is moving back to be with her husband. She is 5 mos pregnant and her hubby lives on the east coast due to the military. She showed us ultrasound photos and it was a nice visit with her.

Then time for gifts I had two bday cards on the gift table one for SD21 and one for SO's brother all of them had bdays in the same week. I tell SD to give them their cards. She proceeds to try to open the cards so I say No SD those are for SD21 and Uncle. She gives me a shitty look and says oh its my birthday I thought they were for me!!! Nope sorry missy its not all about you!!! Then cake time I put three candles one for each of the bday people. They blow them out and SD takes the knife to try to start hacking away at the cake because she wanted her special piece in the middle. I took it and said I will cut the cake you aren't going to cut up the cake to get the piece you want. Cue another shitty look I just smiled and cut and served the cake. SO tells her to behave herself. Yeah whatever at this point I could care less.

I waited for SO to say something about her behavior or ask her to apologize but he never did. He just wanted to remember how little she was and how fast she is growing up. I couldn't help myself and said yeah and rude!!! He looks at me like I have three heads. I said she was being rude to both of us tonight. He looks away and says I will talk to her later. The next day she apologized for her crappy behavior and said Thank you to me. Oh well just had to vent!!

I agree to a point but it was a last minute thing because she was fighting with her friends so her original party plan didn't work out. It was a nice party and it was about her but gift time I had two cards for the other bday people. To me she should be grateful for the party she turned 13 so its not like she was a young child not getting all the attention.

She has been pretty spoiled by SO and BM. All the attention and stuff is just expected by her and to me that is wrong.

Dru I had a crazy friend that would do this at every bday party she had!!! I thought maybe that was part of the deal with SD. Back then every one would call it "showing your ass" LOL

reminds me of Christmas the year sd19 was 16. she got exactly what she wanted, but instead of thanking me, she thanked her dad and then asked me why i got her a bunch of "awkward" sizes, because some things were small, some were medium. that was the day disengagement started. i never shopped for her again.
