I knew her nice streak was to good to be true. I couldn't find my phone for a whole day. It turns up under SD14s mattress. She stole it and used it to text her friends. DH and BM are at a lost at what to do with her. She gets grounded but she keeps acting out and she has a court date coming up for her arrest. she just won't even try to learn from her mistakes. I thought that after getting caught going down on her BF at the park she would break up with him. But from the look of the explicit text I read they are still together.
....a part of the problem with today's children?
Watching the Disney Channel with my kids I am.appalled at the overt disrespect displayed to the adult figures in these shows.
Its like wow.
The children told an adult her perfume stinks. The one little boy from India physically ATTACKED the male cook and house care-taker and threw things at him when the kid was mad. The kid even threatened to hit this man at another time. These children in general.are verbally abusive to the few adults.
My partner (fiancé) whom I have been with for 4 years has a daughter who is 9 & is turning 10 in the next couple of months. The issue I'm having now is that lately she has been having these anxiety attacks when SD is away from her mom not so much when she is in school but if she is staying away maybe for a weekend & even in the house. SD & my partner spend a lot of time together & I mean a lot of time to the point that all she knows is her mom. In the beginning of our relationship we've had some struggles as you can probably imagine. At this point we still have some issues.
It had been a blissful month...the only time SD13 came around was a quick pop-in and out to get money. She had been staying with a family member on BM's side. Well her cousin came to town a week ago and since the cousin is close in age she likes to spend time with her and SD13 packed up from the person she was staying with and went to her GM (BM's mother) where the cousin is and that is just a few blocks from where we live...so now she and always at least 4 people with her have been in and out of our house randomly for the past few days.
Posted by a FB friend. Had to share. I'm going to make this my mantra.
I posted this in a comment in CLD0711's blog. I thought I would post it here.
This is an actual notice we have this posted on our bathroom door (facing the outside):
Message to children from occupant
1) Yes! This door is closed. Yes it is closed for a reason. No, nothing is wrong. I am simply taking a dump and wish to do so in PRIVATE. That means I want to be by myself.
I've been in Atlanta for 23 days. It feels like much longer. On the upside, I get to go home this week for the holiday, which is great because it's the only time I'll get to see SO between now at September 30th. These last 3 weeks have been borderline unbearable being away from him. The next few months will be horrible, I'm sure.
I am trying to be understanding because his dad passed away recently but FDH is PISSING me off with sticking his nose into my financial affairs! I put $2000 down on a brand new car for my BD19 for her birthday and he is running his mouth about it. We have separate finances. BD19 got her loan herself, I just put down the down payment as a birthday gift. He is bitching about the money I spend on my kids. I pay my own bills including my share of our household expenses, I have savings and I also have money going towards our retirement someday.
Oh, the shit my BM says.
Convo between DH and BM after dinner this evening.
DH: SS told us you're going to send him oreos.
BM: He asked. So I said yes, then he started to cry saying you don't keep unhealthy food in the house so he can't have them. If I send a small pack, will you let him have them? It seemed so important to him and I hate to see him that sad.
DH: No, primarily because we won't let the girls have any (namely DD right now)and it wouldn't be fair.
When I first moved in with my husband, I thought his kids were...small people. I didn't (and still don't, by choice) have children, and I had no preconceived notions about what to expect from them.
They treated me just fine; the daughter (then 9) warmed up to me quickly, glad to have another "girl" in the house. The son (then 5) didn't treat me any way other than an entity who was kind to him and made jokes about the cat (which went over quite well).
