I have a 17 yr old step-daughter who has been such a blessing to me. Absolutely wonderful kid. This past month? The demon has been unleashed. She has started to see this 21 yr old and now, we know nothing, and we are the worst people in the world! Well, previously, she had never been late for curfew, always checked in with us, gave us her schedule, had her friends over, etc... Now? Sneaking out of the house, claiming to be at her moms when she is actually with him, never home, doesn't check in, doesn't give us her schedule...And when confronted? OMG!
i have been so busy after getting back that i feel like i have to schedule when i can actually have the time to go to the bathroom! I havent been on here much because im so busy, but wanted to say hi!
Sooooo.. before bed last night i am getting the laundry out of the bathroom. Sd comes in and wants to use the bathroom and i hear. EEEEWWW someone peed all over the toilet and floor. Seems like ss6 had a little fun playing sprinkler in the bathroom. Oh my I was furious. I aksed him why he did it.
SS. I had to go really bad
Mally. SO you peed on the floor? and didn't put the seat up?
SS. Yeah.
Mally. Lets not do that again. Lets not wait until you have to pee on the FLOOR.
SS. ok.
Mally. NOW clean it up!
SS. Whaaaaaaaa
SD11 (seems like she's going on 15) comes home from school and starts giving me attitude and disrespecting me, the subject beeing irrelevant I will skip it.
So I send her to her room telling her to go think about what she just said to me and that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our home.
She's crying and screaming and pooor pooor her, her life is so miserable etc etc. She's putting on a show, being a drama queen (well taught to her by her BM).
So she starts screaming from her bedroom: I WANNA CALL MOOOMMMMMMMY! CAN I CALL MOOOMMMMMMMY?!!
Three days ago I left some quarters on our bathroom counter (not the norm for me). Yes, it was a spur of the moment test, as only I and my step-son, soon to be 19, were at home. Money has disappeared from time to time around here, most recently a twenty dollar bill out of my 11 year old son's wallet. I left the bathroom, said stepson used it, and when I went back in, oh, twenty minutes later, 4 or 5 quarters were gone. Not alot, but it is the principle. His father, my husband, asked him if he took it and he said no. So yesterday I confronted him, as is my parenting style.
In less than a week we have had to clean up more of BMs irresponsibility with the skids. DH had agreed to purchase all of SS's school stuff and BM was going to take care of SD. Yeah right. So with less than 20 minutes until school (with the skids headed back to BMs after school), SD says I need a lunch for today (they take cold lunch when they are with us). She goes on to tell us that BM "forgot" to send money to school for her hot lunch. In addition SD's folders, backpack and school supplies are all last years because "mom doesn't get paid until next week".
After having counseling on Monday with BF (separate appointments) I was thinking that it might take a while to really see some results. I am surprised as anyone, there was one last night.
I have been a sm for 2 1/2 yrs, and it has been nothing but a challenge, with just a few rewards. One of the many challenges is my dh's family. They decided not long after we got married that they did not like me. I'm not sure if it is because they seem to be good friends bm or not. We have fought many times for custody of the kids, as of right now we have skids every other weekend. The BM and live in boyfriend have both gotten dui's and didnt have license at same time. The BM had the kids on the weekend she got her dui and sd10 had a friend sleeping over that night.
:O
I am doing some fill in work at an animal hospital this week and was finishing up a shift that brought me home around 8pm.
I come in and Zippy is sprawled across the living room couch watching "his" shows (Zippy has a state of the art techno equipment room and full living room furniture in a fully finished downstairs living area-but prefers to watch "his" shows on our 25 year old TV)-I don't mind once in awhile-but cartoons are not my favourite thing to watch in the evening (especially a 17 year old watching them!)
So yesterday we got 2 envelopes from the court. One was telling us that our court date is the 15th & that this would be a very short (15 minutes) appearance in front of the judge, more than likely to explain briefly what is going on. The other was a denial to BM's latest motion...get ready for this...BM requested that she do a conference call rather than "travel over an hour" to the court!!! My mouth dropped open! Yet another example of how BM acts like she's more important than everyone else. And also, in the copy of BM's motion are several blatant lies.
