For those of you that read and responded to my last blog, thank you!  Now here is a quick update.  SO and I did indeed go on our date and he missed SD's "last sockhop" for our date.  Of course he got freaking text updates all night long *nea* I still have mixed feelings about it though because he felt the need to tell me this, "I just told SD that I had to help my cousin fix his car, I didn't want her feeling bad thinking I didn't want to go to her last sock hop" - UGH, I really don't think he will EVER get it at this point.  I told him, well that is nice that you are more worried about ups

I know that there are other blogs talking about this but I need to make a blog right now before I blow a gasket. BM has been really nice lately since she has a new bf...giving us extra time with SD (which I don't want and it is only so she has alone time with her new bf). I warned SO that once she didn't get her way she would flip out and go back to the BM we have known much longer than this fake facade she is putting up for the new bf!

I am just wondering if anyone else has this issue with their skids because I am not exactly sure how to handle it and I find it a bit disturbing. You know how you can feel someone staring at you and so you look and there they are just staring away?!?! My SD (10) has been doing this with me for at least the past year. She is one that LOVES attention and is constantly trying to be the center of attention and I am probably one of the only people that ignores this behavior because I do not want to feed into it.

This is mainly just a venting post but any advice or other perspectives to the situation are welcome. This past weekend when SD was over she announced, "Grandma G (my SO's mother) is coming to BM's on Christmas Eve for chicken and dumplings b/c BM offered to make her some since she really likes them" - okay, I try not to let things irritate me that come from BM and SD but this crosses a line for me.
