And the fun continues

So after the discussion I had with sweet SD she decided I had told her that she was responsible for my son's mental breakdowns.  Those were totally her words.  As what I told her was "How long did it take you to bring up the issue with P?"  Her answer was one day.  It was three.  Then I brought up that I wanted to clear the air and not wait to long.  When she asked why my children didn't bring it up, I mentioned that the one in question couldn't as he was in his room upset.  Never once did I say mental breakdown on either of their parts.  Total creation in her head, it of course upest her a

So I've returned to work while the kids are home.   This Friday I got a text from my middle son.  He needed to talk.  I called him, he didn't answer so I called his sister.   This is what went down, my daughter ordered a pizza for lunch and went down a called SD that the pizza was here.  She came up and out of the blue told my son or at least he felt she talked to him, to stop assulting her dog.  He became very upsest.  He's autistic and would never hurt this dog.   Needless to say he spent the rest of the day in his room upset.   My daughter didn't feel comfortable asking SD about this com

And then the dog, television and entertainment centers

So we have two dogs.  One dog came with my husband and was his kids dog.  The dog actually went back forth in the custody agreement for several years.  He got it for his ex who wanted a dog for the kids.  Anyhow this dog is very old, almost blind and frequently falls down the stairs.  His kids barely acknowledged it for months and really only maybe talk to it about ten minutes every day total.  They don't feed it , don't take it outside , don't clean up when it pees or poops on the floor which is often daily.  The dog stinks.  Anyhow, it is a inside dog.  When I suggest maybe its time to pu

Well we continue to have interesting things.   SD turned down dinner on Thursday night due to a stomach ache that had her dad rushing down to the store to get Ginger Ale.   Two hours after dinner she comes up and makes microwave popcorn.   OK.  Thought your stomach was upset but I'm sure salty buttery popcorn is just the ticket.  This is the same shit her brother used to pull before he decided he didn't want to join us for dinner.   On Friday , she joined us for dinner whcih was take out.  Thursday's dinner was homemade.   Anyhow, on Friday, SS was told that there was chinese food , SD daug

End of Summer

Well actually its been pretty uneventful.  There have been a few instances.   SD is trying to establish residency in our state.  She needs to have two forms from the final column.   The ones she can get are bank statement, paystub and credit card statement.  She now has a job and was going to talk to her boss the first day about getting a pay stub.  Um you have to work first.  Then she was going to talk to him about income so she can apply for a credit card.  Um you still need to work, probably more than a day.   Anyhow, we were talking.  Her dad, me and her.  I mentioned that my daughter ,

Venting part 2

Well SS did go and talk with a possible employer this afternoon.    So maybe a job will come of that.

SD hasn't joined us for the family meal the second night in a row.  SS hasn't joined us since last May.    I've written him off and really its much more pleasant without his scowling face at dinner.   He pretty much would eat and look at his phone.  When we weren't receptive to that behavior he decided he didn't want to eat with us anymore. He's 17 so not quite an adult though I suspect he doesn't plan to return to school in any capacity in the fall.

Well I feel like I am a in a experiment gone wrong.      It feels like there's me, my husband and my kids as a family and then his kids just kind of there.     SD does join us for meals , most often for dinner and comes up and visits occasionally.  Both stepkids stay up most of the night and sleep most of the day.    SS eats only after four and never with the family.    SD only eats lunch about 3 and dinner with the rest of us.   Both when they are awake are in their rooms gaming.   

Getting better I think

Well I think it's getting better.   The boy is still avoiding me.  He was in the kitchen and when I came downstairs he ran down to his room.   I talked with the girl and DH and things went well.  Offers were made to drive her if needed, we also said we would take her driving.   Then she said she was getting bored with the walks they were taking and wanted someplace new, I offered to take her and him to a local walking trail.  She also mentioned that she was looking at getting a job.  That will get her out of the house, unfortuantely it also means she'll be here for awhile as she has no plac

Waiting for part 2

I came home after a conversation with my parents, and yes we did discuss the situation.    I walked into the kitchen where SD  and SS were making some meal.   SD said hi, I returned greeting and she said she was sorry for her behavior.  I told her no worries, thanks for the apolgoies.  I did say my kids were with their dad and that the youngest would be with him for the duration but no slight towards them because really while I think they're part of the situation I don't think they're solely to blame for the situation .  I then added that we all need to work on the situation and yes I had t

Wasn't sure what to title this entry, really just a rant.  All started a couple of weeks ago.   I had posted about SD heading out with friends and staying overnight.  Well she went for two and half days , coming home about 5:00 PM on the last day.    Ok , we're not supposed to be going out etc but?   Well she's 21 and an adult was the reply.   Two weeks went by and my son texted me, could he hang out with his friend.  I replied maybe if outside practicing the social distancing etc, however my DH said abosultely not.  Mind you this is after his daughter goes away for 2 1/2 days to  hang out
