So my week started out crappy with SO and his coddling SD and no boundaries with BM. He finally saw a dim flicker of light and started actually parenting this week consistently even!!!! I was very proud of him but also skeptical so I kept my mouth shut. Well she did pretty well she was very nice to be around even with the change. Well it came to a head on Friday she calls SO around 1pm saying she needed to be picked up because she was sick. She didn't eat lunch and her stomach hurt. Normally he would have dropped everything and run to go get her. Two things stopped him one we were really busy at work (we work at the same place and right now at the same location) and he couldn't of left if he wanted to and two he actually parented!!! I heard him tell her she should have eaten lunch and she isn't sick she can ride the bus home. She must have been whining because all he said was No No No and goodbye. I couldn't believe it!!! Way to go SO. So she calls after school and asks to go to her friends house and he let's her I would have called her out on being so sick but oh well baby steps. Then she calls me later SO was still at work to see of she could spend the night I said how's your stomach she says fine why?? I said because you were sick earlier she says oh I'm fine it's just that I didn't eat but I had a snack in my backpack so I'm fine. I say ok go ahead and spend the night see you tomorrow.

She comes home the next day and she hangs out with us for a bit then goes to her room to hang out. She never does this!!! I was like wow she must be finally growing up a bit. I go do my thing and I keep hearing SO's phone go off like he has a text. She is texting her commands from her bedroom!!! Bring me this bring me that I couldn't believe it!!!! He ignored her and she comes out with a WTH look on her face. Didn't you see my text??? He says yes and get it yourself. She groans does it and goes back to her room.

Well today first thing she wakes up and says what's for breakfast?? He says whatever you want and can make. She says I want _______ he says we don't have that find something else. But I want that!!! Just go to
the store and let me know when its done. He says Whoa!!! Thats not happening you don't order me around if your hungry make something. I hear all this from the bedroom. She gets mad and goes to her room then comes out later and asks fornhis help making pancakes. Then a bit ago the texting again this time she was texting him her lunch order!!! I guess she doesn't get it after all.
