SD Punishment is annoying me

Jsmom's picture

Okay - I know she is grounded from Facebook and Phone for being disrespectful to me, but I am willing to let the punishment go, since the rest of the house is being punished as well. She is BORED!! I spent last night in my study reading magazines and watching TV since I could not take anymore of her tedious conversations. I know she is 13 and that is annoying enough, but I can not listen to anymore stories about how popular and pretty we are and how much her friends all think so. Also, one more story about lack of compassion for someone else and I swear I was going to scream.

Think I'm gonna invest in some good wine and just have a glass or two each day. talked with my husband and he want's to know whats wrong with me? SS was watching TV not doing chores when asked SS about it he went outside and called father told him completely different story than what had happened. I had already had a phone discussion with BD so he knew what I said to SS.

Finances...together or separate?

What do you all think about finances in terms of money spent on skids..right now my BF pays his own CS and most of the clothes/toys/food bought for SS. I have only come into SS's life since March of this year. I don't mind chipping in sometimes for food and I do buy little toys every once in a while for him but to be honest I don't see myself going any further than that. I don't imagine paying for college (BF doesn't have any savings of that kind set up), his first car, sports lessons & gear, etc. What do all your spouses expect of you in this matter?

I'm probably telling way too much but I have to get it off my chest.

SD13 does not flush the toilet...is that gross or what? All the other kids that are older and younger know how to flush. I've talked to DH about it before but he just doesn't get that it's gross. I'm almost tempted to take his toothbrush and run it in SD's urine unflushed toilet just to teach him a lesson but I won't. I guess I'll deal with it and teach my own kids right and hope that the skids will notice and follw in their step-siblings foot steps.

So How do You Answer this one?

Endora's picture

Do you and your SO have re-occurring "discussions"? DH (Bio-bud to Zippy 17 on November 10th and counting...) and I have this one:

Top Bio Father's Complaint:

Endora knew I had Zippy(week on week off when we were dating for a year-then SURPRISE full time custody and an MIA Bio Mom once the ring went on my finger) BEFORE she married me.

And

Endora just doesn't understand why I "parent" (and I use this term loosely!!) the way I do, the history between Zippy and DH or the feelings DH has for Zippy (close to an equal in this case).
