Imagine being a poopsieberry who needs to come home to mommy for your 36th birthday

Am I crazy? My god, my parents were not perfect but they did encourage independence. By 36, I owned a house and a mountain cabin and had a fulfilling life outside of my parents. Although I continued my relationships with them and their partners, I didn't feel the need for them to pamper me during holidays. 

Seriously, open up your eyes

I am wondering what is going to happen this weekend when I don't go to senior night. I have toured several apartments and townhomes. I am sure it is going to get ugly. But anyway today SO wanted to pick up SS from practice because he hasn't seen him. That is not an issue but the issue is that SS said I will let you pick me up if you take me to the store and buy me(and it is something for sports , I am not sure ) because I stopped listening. So now in order for your dad to see you he has to buy you something. My goodness. Time for me to buy something for myself on his card.

Vegas trip and permanent ink that is apparently no so permanent...

We recently took my SS17 to Vegas. It is one of the spots where you may get a tattoo with parental consent under age 18. We took him for the sole purpose of his first tattoo that he has been begging for. He is a good kid, makes good grades, plays sports and is very well mannered. 

OT Possible New Employers

All that ranting about the sociopathic employers i currently have led me to get new resumes and apply like crazy

 they effed me over multiple times (whether in purpose or accident bc they're unorganized) and while I stuck it out like a overly optimistic sidekick to a Disneyland parent....now I can screw them back ---> unlubed!

TAKE THAT

If everything lines up, then estimated earning increase slated to be $10k+/year

My SS has lived with us primarly and had visitation with his mom.  She had sent him live with us at 7 years old but kept his sister with her.  I helped my husband rasie him for 11 years. But for the last 4 years him and sister have been living with us 75% of the time.  Their mom sent my SD to live with us in 2020.  My SS has always told me ive been more of a mom to him then his own mom.

Las Tres Diablaszilla Harpies are at it again with the manufactured drama

BM lives in another state from us. BM currently has SD25 living with her and SD27 is there for a visit. Keep in mind that all 3 of these characters are college graduates. (On DH's dime)

OSD called to tell DH that all 3 of them are fighting. BM and YSD are HITTING each other and YSD is hitting OSD! BM, being the big, lying, manipulator POS that she is claims that her hand just "flies up and accidentally hit" YSD. Lol

BM and OSD are trying to get DH involved in problem solving the situation. Lol Again, they are in a different state and this is happening AT BM's House.

The world revolves around SD and we are teaching her that every day!

I'm not even really sure where to begin. I am easily annoyed… Or triggered? My SD7 is sweet, funny, kind intuitive and also spoiled. There are times that she gets quiet usually when we're riding in the car and she stares out the window. I myself am a very introspective, self reflective, quiet person as is my SO. 
However there seems to be this need of my SO to incessantly check on my SD.
