On Mother's Day: "You aren't my mother "unbelieveable, you can't boss me around so stop!"

Well...what a day. After disaster after disaster the last few weekends with the oldest fsd8...this weekend was going perfect. We did not have to correct her once...everything was smooth and I even took them to a bday party for a friend with me yesterday.

This morning we wake up...and although I am not a biomom...I think I deserve some type of happy...day. I've only been wiping noses, washing hair, cooking, and cleaning up after oh and changing soiled sheets and god knows what else for 4 years now. I think I deserve SOMETHING! Maybe a gift for"Momming" someone else's kids. I have gotten flowers once in 4 years...my bday and vday gifts are never one time...and this guy still has not put a ring on my finger but talks about our future wedding. Now I'm waking up...and doesn't my day start out with FMIL telling this nurse lady that's there for FFIL's surgery check up happy mother's day...she replies...I do not have children..and FMIL says, "Well, then how about Happy MOther's day for when you do!" Yeah...she's an effing weirdo and HHEELLLOOO she never shows me any sign of appreciation for taking care of her grandkids...which I have complaining about before. So that was one easy way to hurt my heart today.

Second situation...we've been trying to get oldest fsd8 to eat more for breakfast..she gets car sick very easily and it;s a 40 minute ride home - and she always says shes hungry...well if she would eat her freaking breakfast she would not be so hungry...we wanted her to eat a whole bagel this morning...a small lender's bagel...she eats like 2 bites....while drawn to the TV so I tell her I am going to shut the TV off if she does not start eating...that way we don't hear the whole "my food is cold heat it up 10 times excuse" FSD6 is eating her lucky charms and being her good obedient little self. (This child loves me!) So FH and I are standing in the kitchen when FSD8 stomps in...yes STOMPS...and says, "Im not eating the rest of this...I'm throwing it on the floor.." I was like uhh...no. And FH says get in there and eat 4 more bites of that...and then you can be done...she turns around to walk away...turns back around and yells! "I'm NOT eating this! I am going to throw it on the floor!!!" Well I was sick of her interrupting us so I said no - you will go in there like your father told you to...and come back when you are done. And you will NOT speak to us like that young lady." She sticks her finger out...points at me and says..."You are not my mother "unbelieveable" and you cannot boss me around so stop!" She was going into tantrum phase...my mouth dropped and I walked into the bedroom where I sat for two hours...I know I am not your effing mother....I would have taught you NEVER EVER EVER to talk back to adults or argue about every little effing thing! And I am so glad I am not your mother and I only have to see your bratty terrible annoying little face you will witch two days a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UUGGGHHHH that feels better...I never did get any type of apology...I am anxious to see what he has to say when he gets home...as he was supposed to talk to BM about her behavior...today he finally saw what the EF and why the EF I get so mad when he is not around! FSD8 talks to me like this all the time! and smiles really big when her dad tells me - it's me that picks fights with her??? I am so disgusted...I don't even want her to come down anymore...she is just like her mother. FH is about to get a huge eyeopener. I am just not putting up with this anymore.

I'm sorry your day was so pooty! It sounds like your FDH needs to have a sit down chat with your SD & explain that you're allowed to be bossy in YOUR HOUSE or something...LOL

My SS8 has been a tremendously huge turd as of late...maybe it's the age?

She is just naturally this way...she's been like this since I met her - and she talks to everyone like she is a snob...and she has a right to be that way? She has been bossing everyone around since she was 4...and we;ve been working on it...this just was REALLY bad today...and out of nowhere...I mean our weekend was perfect...and it's like she picked today...and used those words today...a really emotionally draining day for me...to do this. She is manipulative...and keniving...and just mean. and bossy. and she picked a really bad day to push my buttons. All I want is some kind of appreciation. And in no circumstance should a child talk like that to an adult? I was NEVER allowed to argue back to my elders...I put clothes on that girls back and food on the table - and I always make sure she and her sister go home with their hair done and decent clothes on...WTF.

Read my tagline, sister. It's why my skids don't say that to me. Wink I said it once, they never said it again.

the corner is a wonderful tool Smile let her talk to that. my ss23 tried pulling the same thing...yes, 23, while he was living with us, I smiled and told him, I know I am not your mother and you are lucky I am not a tiger, as they eat other mother's young. Priceless Smile

You know it's funny...friends wished me a Happy Mothers Day but my FDH didn't. FSD7 was with her Mom yesterday..as she should have been. Even though when FDH spoke with FSD last night, she told him she was off fishing with the older man neighbor that lives down the street for most of the day (we are very uncomfortable with this) and her Mommy forgot to come get her at 7:30..(this was at 8:45 on a school night...wtf?!) Honestly I'm not really upset about him not acknowledging me because even though I have helped raise and provide for her I don't try to act like her Mother because she has a Mother. Even though she is a dead beat in many ways and irresponsible, she is still after all her Mother. It's an awkward thing. We don't all live together at the moment because of a financial situation and I guess over the last year I really haven't been around too much with FSD on a daily basis, but we will be living together again in July. FDH DID say, "next year on mothers day you will be a Mom"...we're getting married in 11 days! He and I took my Mom and Grandma out for a nice lunch. It was a good day.

This is just the most frustrating situation I have ever put myself in. EVER. And it will never be how it's supposed to be. I never ever have TRIED to be her mother...but my motherly instinct kicks in every weekend...and I just do as mom's do...NEVER have I EVER told her to call me mom - and if she ever asked if she could I said absolutly not...I didn't want kids. LOL. And my favorite line to use on her is, "I know I'm not your mom because if I was you never would have learned to talk back like that..." unfortuately...it just never works. I'm all kinds of an emotional wreck right now...this is just how it is.
