Skids are at Crazy's and today SD14 text DH that she needs to get Venmo so DH can send her money, So she can give it to Crazy to pay for half of the bras Crazy is allegedly buying her. Ha! DH said, that's not how this works. She asked why not. He said he will buy her a few bras and Crazy can buy her some, but he isn't sending her $. SD said "Then you need fo take me shopping next wknd for bras".
 

A positive post for once!

But mostly because for once DH didn't have dad guilt and we got to go away for a whole wknd ON A SKID WKND. SD14 went camping with DH's sister Thurs-Sunday, and we just got a camper that we have been doing work on that we haven't used yet. DH said we could use it this wknd if SD was gone- like, he even suggested it. I thought to myself, what about SS17...? But didn't say anything, because I'm not an idiot. SS worked Sat/Sun anyway, and doesn't seem to care about doing things with us, so we simply told SS we were going camping and he was like cool, bye.

Teen girls, would not recommend.

Skids came by us yesterday and immediately SD14 got an attitude with me- DH got stuck at work late, SD got home from work, but I didn't even know she had to work because she didn't send me her schedule like she's supposed to. SS17 picked her up. I asked her if her dad knew she had to work. She said "probably, I sent him my schedule". I was in the process of making wings for dinner, and reminded her to send her schedule to me so I know who to cook for. She argued that she did. I said no you didn't, I haven't gotten one for 2wks. She said she was "told" I had been told about her schedule.

A sh*t show of a week

I am seriously on the struggle bus here, and my daily mantra now is how does this seem to be getting harder instead of easier?? SS is 17, about to apply for colleges. SD is 14 this week and starts a job (yes a job!!!) next week. She will finally have some semblance of a life and be out of the house sometimes, so it feels like it should be getting better...but DH is on the guilty parent train and it is so hard to watch. 
 

SD’s list of complaints about DH

On Sunday night, DH said he mentioned to SS17 that they had been with us for 10 days. SS said, really? It hasn't felt like 10 days. DH said to me, oh yes it has, it's felt wayyy longer. Which is irritating, because he is the whole reason we had them for 10 days, and he doesn't realize that it's even harder for me than it is for him because these are NOT my kids!
