DH and I were talking last night and I told him that I think his daughter needs to learn to "not bite the hand that feeds her" and that everything isn't going to be handed to her on a silver platter! I told him that I REFUSE to do ANYTHING that equates with doing for her in a parental capacity.
Personally, I just don't understand him or so many other parents out there who seem hell bent on raising lazy kids, with expensive taste, who just think everything should be handed to them...SO many parents seem to encourage narcissism and feelings of "entitlement" in their children!!
Ok, so I told dumb dumb (BM) in sort of polite, sort of not so much words that the puppy is staying with me and she'll have to get over it. I also told her that she should stop putting the kids in the middle and ask me like a normal adult with a set of cajones next time. Naturally, she got all whiney and defensive and naturally I don't give a crap anymore. She actually tried to lie to me (once again) and tell me she wasn't asking, but the kids were blah blah blah :sick: I told her word for word what transpired between the boys and I and that they have never lied to me-EVER!
So far so good on the job interview. they have contacted two of my references, and I know these ladies gave me a shining report.
Tomorrow will the the day I find out.
The BM is a convicted child abuser. From what I gather she is not allowed to see her child. She shirked her responsibilities as a mother and the stepmother adopted her daughter. The BM abused the little girl. I very much admire the adoptive mother. I saw this video yesterday, and I thought I'd share it.

I just got off the phone with H's doctor. He had gone over H's file at the VA and I am stunned at what he had to tell me. I was told that H didn't retire from the army because his ex was unhappy with him being in the military. NOT!! He was denied reenlistment for refusing to take his meds. Apparently he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and social anxiety disorder. :jawdrop: I don't see how he has managed to function for as long as he has. The doctor believes that with medication and therapy H will be able to live a normal life.
We haven’t seen much of SD15 since a blow up over her failing the 9th grade last spring. She occasionally graces us with her presence for a few hours at Christmas or birthday’s. These events usually trigger a post from me, though I read ST everyday.
So the Socio is taking my H back to court for visitation, she wants joint custody of my SD8. My H has always had custody of her. H has apparently violated the visitation order of EOW and Weds. nights b/c the socio has regularly abused, physically and emotionally, my SD. H has not allowed socio more than a few hours Weds. nights.
We are filing for full/regular custody, whichever one we get. The affadavit is due to get to "crazy" any day now.. We're sure she doesn't have it yet, because it's worded very carefully and straight to the point.. and I know she's going to hit the ceiling when she reads the wording...
So about the puppy going to BM. Not gonna happen. After careful consideration and watching my SS11 and his lack of responsibility with her, I have decided that the puppy stays here. She's my responsibility and I have to handle any vet stuff anyway. I let BM know and she threw ahissy-but who cares-she'll get over it and I will tell the kids myself why puppy stays with me. Thanks for your support.
I need to such BF/DH/SO's Gems like
1. Why does SS/SD's filthy room bother you so much-why don't you pick your battles and close the door?
2. Why are a few dishes lying around such a big deal to you?
3. What's it to you if SS/SD won't wash/shower/brush their teeth?
4. (In response to any constructive criticism of their golden child)You just don't like my darling perfect child!
