Nice move Uberskank......way to tell your kid it's all about the CS she brings into you.

DH's kid was over this weekend. She graduates from HS in 2014. She'll turn 18 at the beginning of her senior year.

While we're eating dinner on Saturday night, she said Uberskank told her that in order for DH's kid to continue to collect CS after she graduates from HS is to go the local community college and live with Uberskank. Or try and get into a 4 year college and live in a dorm. But she would lose CS if she moved away, went to a CC in another state and lived with her girlfriends.

I hate that DH behavior changes when his kid is around.

I'm finding I'm to the point where I can't stand to be around DH at all. Especially on the (very) rare weekends when his kid is at our home.

He is normally a good person but when she's around, it's as though he wants to show off. He does and says things he normally wouldn't say. We were out at dinner and DH was relaying a story. In the middle of it he cussed when it wasn't really necessary. There was a table behind us with a young child (who was whiny and apparently it was past his bedtime). DH's voice is loud and carries. I asked him to please keep it clean when we're in public.

DH and I were in Target shopping today when we hear the incessant honking of a toy horn. After the 5th or 6th honk I hear the plea of the father, stop that right now.

Of course the honking continued.

Did Dad walk over and take the horn away from this child. Nope. He just walked away and this kid continued honking it.

What?? You want me to do what??

Okay, so DH hasn't seen precious princess (SD16's new nickname going forward is PP) in about a month. He gets 6 weeks in the summer with her, broken up into 3 two week visits.

The count so far since school let out.

She crapped out on him over Father's Day weekend.

She spent 4 of the 14 days of the first two week visit with us.

The week before the 2nd two week visit, said she had a babysitting gig and couldn't come see him (side note, she's 16 and really needs to get a job so DH was okay with this).

On the thoughts of skids deciding if they're coming over or not........

DH's kid (d16) was supposed to be at our place on Sunday for a two week visit (2nd of three for the summer). On Wednesday she was not coming because she has a babysitting gig with a neighbor. Okay fine, she's 16 and wants money for clothes and whatever stuff she buys. Then on Thursday she calls again to tell us she's not coming but was at a friends house. What about her babysitting gig?? Then on Friday she calls DH. This is what I was told and what I heard of the conversation:

OT - Why do I have to pay the price for the way your ex-whore treated you and your issues with your kid??

DH left for a short business trip this early morning (at 6am).

I'm not a morning person, so I get up about half an hour before he leaves. I wanted to be awake enough to say goodbye. I make my breakfast and sit down to eat. DH comes out with his laptop bag and duffel for the trip. Duffel-bag has hard plastic wheels and he puts in on top our dining-room table. My eyes bug out.

I was at a dinner last night with a group of people that work in my industry. One of the women asked me if I had kids. I hesitated and said I do not, but my DH has a 16 y/o daughter. She said, oh you're an SM? I said yes I am. She asked, Does she live with you? I said no, just EOWE and 6 weeks in the summer.
