Okay, please don't flame me I am being honest. If you guys have read any of my posts, you know that I really do not like my SD. Not for lack of trying, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy her company, or the idea of her for that matter. I'm never mean to her, i'm always respectable during visits, but while I smile on the outside during those visits, i'm gritting my teeth on the inside.
Whenever I inform my H about some way my SS11 has disrespected me,been dishonest, or has disobeyed in some way, he always fires back at me with some "unimportant thing" my BD has done? As in, leaving her shoes in the living room??? Example: "honey just wanted to let u know, ur son has carved his initials in the window screen"...his response, "well ur daughter left her school book on the kitchen table"!! WTF??? how does that even compare??? UGHHHH
I'm sorry that you seem to have this delusion that you can control what goes on in OUR (eg., not your) home. For your sake, I would suggest that you get your head out of your ass now. I don't care if your kids are here or not. When they're here, it's because it's LEGALLY FH'S TIME. Not your's, you big dummy. And when you show up at my house Saturday, like I know you will, you'll get one warning to get the hell off my property and then guess what? YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL, and I'll be laughing the whole time. You cannot take those kids out of this home when it's FH's time. Period. Try it.

DH called ss22 tonight because he had some mail here. It's a paper he has to fill out because he doesn't have liability insurance. I could hear ss yelling at dh on the phone all dh said was, "you wanna shut up so I can explain this to you for once in your life?" He goes on to tell ss that he HAS to fill this form out or else they will revoke the registration for his car. SS argued about it with dh. True to form.
So, I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I'm going to admit that when DH or I talk to our exes we put the phone on speaker phone. There are two main reasons for this. One is so that the ex cannot email the other partner later trying to say that stuff went on that didn't (yeah, we've had this happen) but the BIGGEST reason is that it eliminates us from having to rehash the other side of the conversation and trying to remember what all was said. If anybody thinks this is wrong, fine, whatever. It works for us and that's all we care about.
The life of an 11 year old must be so hard!
There is one spot on the couch that is "perfect" because it is nearest to the t.v. The boys fight over it all the time - most of the time it is quiet bickering - and tonight was no exception.
SS11 is a bossy snot but so is SS9. The conversation went something like this:
SS11: Don't get in the spot.
SS9: You don't OWN it.
SS11: You can sit in the spot if you give me one of your Warheads.
SS9: I wouldn't give you one of these if my life depended on it.
It's been a pretty good week! I've only had to see BM one day this week, when it's usually everyday. She's finally following the no texting rule, so that's awesome. We had to deal with the usual mouthiness that SD picks up when at BM's, but DH shocked me that night. I asked SD where something was and she screamed back "I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS!" Before I could even open my mouth to respond, DH tells her "you will NOT yell at Marla, don't let me ever catch you talking to her like that again!" My jaw literally dropped because I'm used to being the one to correct her.
