My BD and SD are both 15 and in the same grade. There is a school dance coming up. We discussed with both the girls that instead of buying dresses that I felt we could borrow and besides We have around 15 dresses at my house already.

Well last thursday my SD says,, "Oh karen guess what my granny (MIL) bought me a dress for the dance and new shoes and all my jewelry" I could feel my blood begin to boil. She resides with me and husband.

I get upset for the fact that I said we would borrow and she and granny run off and buy all new everything.

Maybe I do?

DH said that SD13 is scared of me and that she thinks I hate her. I have never yelled at SD13, never raised a hand towards her or been negative towards her. It's been a challenge at times to be like that, but I have managed. I don't punish SD13, that I leave to my DH, which he doesn't do. I do catch SD13 in her lies, all the time. I know what she is up to, and inform her dad about her antics. If I am angry with SD13, I remove myself from the situation and cool off. This apparently scares SD13, and makes her think I hate her. Perhaps I do.

Is it normal?

I mean really, seems to be a common thread these days of kids lying and manipulating their bio parents.

I used to have a wonderful life. My H and I used to get along great, the kids used to be fabulous and full of fun when they were little. Now, my life is completely turned around, the kids are defiant, and my H is not the same man I married, and is constantly manipulated by his precious angels who can do no wrong.

Does anyone ever say this "I DONT WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE!"

I am so tired........... I sometimes feel like I made a huge mistake. My husband is so wonderful to me and he loves his and our kids. I just keep thinking I should not have been such a control freak! When their mom dropped them off and moved far away I jumped in and TADA!!! I was a mom. No kids of my own at that time, mind you. I should have made her take them even though she didnt want to. From day one it was so much drama from bio mom and my husbands mother. No wonder his ex wife was such a nut, dealing with that crazy biotch would tend to make you looney.

What Could She Be up To??

My situatiion is that my husband has one child with his ex wife and it has been four years approx. since they divorced and we have been dating for a few years and have been married for a few months. The BM is a very contolling person and she likes to constantly be in our lives and have her finger in everything we do (Well she trys). She has re married as well and I stupidly thought that things would get better but they have only gotten worse.

Out of the mouth's of babies,: "what if divorce was illegal?"

Was having a heart -to- heart talk w/ my 13 year old daughter last night on the phone. I love having talks like that w/ her, she is so bright! (have to brag for a min.) Anyways , we were talking about how tough divorce is , on all involved, especially kids, and then she said ,"what if parents had to stay together 'till their kids turned 18"....I nearly fell out of my chair!
