Sooo, I told DH that I won't do such a thing. He said he figured as much. He doesn't really care to do it either but the reasoning of "for the kids" whispers naggingly at him.
Anyway, he told BM on the phone that "these things take years" and she had the phone on speaker-phone and SS broke into tears. He's the one who wants this gathering, it seems.
An update - BM got her very own phone instead of using the one we got for SS9. Hooray! Now if she'd only get a car so she wasn't reliant on other people (but she seems to be against doing ANYTHING to foster her own independence from using other people, so it's unlikely).
Have you ever come to a realization that just hits you like a train? That was me today. I am so not having a good week so far and I look like a train wreck. I fell down some icey steps and got all banged up and then this AM got the bright idea to give my cat a bath (i do about once a year). And of course we have the sKids this week.
We have been married for over 8 years and we have been to their house at least 10 or more times. They live 8 hours away. They have NEVER been to our house ever! Well dh got a call from his dad asking if step MIL an borrow a travel bird cage (we have 2 big birds and he knows we have one). The reason is b/c step mil needs one to help her brother move as he a a big bird.
My SD23 has been given a deadline of November 1st to move out. Her dad finally talked to her about the chaos in the home since she's lived with us and told her it has to end. I am not sure I can survive another MONTH!!
Instead of trying to live in "peace and harmony" for the next few weeks- the tension and stress seems to be just as bad if not worse than before. My BF is already aware that I have looked at houses and I have the ability to move out if that is going to save my sanity. But He has begged me to stay- says he just needs to help her find a place in the next few weeks.
(but in everyone else's!!)
Was watching "The Omen" last night. I got to thinking about how Damien was like a stepchild and the mother was like a SM. There was no maternal bond since "Damien" really wasn't "Kate's" child.
One particular scene where Kate goes into the kitchen when Damien is there making himself a sandwich in the middle of the night and how he just walked right past Kate without making eye contact actually drew a "WOW!" from GG!!
As you ladies know sat was my bday. My dd came home from college and bought me a nice necklace and shirt. The necklace was a dragonfly which I love and have always loved dragonflies which is why she bought. I wore my necklace all day sat and that night and have been since I got it. Now i work nights and I had to work sat night.
I know this seems so petty but it really kinda of bothered me.
SD's behavior and attitude has improved since we've begun taking her to talk therapy. She and her dad went together the first session, and SD and counselor invited me to come the second time. I had an engagement I couldn't get out of, so I told her I would be sure and make it the next time. SD lives with us.
So DH and I had a talk. I'm really hoping that it makes a difference. He has been doing visits with his daughter at his mom's house - who lives in the same community as her - we live about an hour away.
