She's going to have a hard road ahead.

I was washing dishes yesterday and Thunderfoot plops herself across the counter from me to "chat". I hate when she corners me in the kitchen but I am trying not to let her presence bother me so much and just ignore her. Or say "yeah" and "uh huh". She was talking about school and said,"I am really not looking forward to the next two years. I can't wait to get out of school. It's SO stressful and tiring. All I do is go to school and stress out then I just want to come home and eat and sleep. I am not going to college after HS...what's the point? You go to school all your life then you just have to work. I am just going to go straight to work." I looked up and said, "I went to college AND worked when I got out of HS. It's not going to kill you to do both and if you think life is stressful NOW...you really have no clue kid." She is really in for a rude awakening when/if she graduates. I don't remember HS being stressful other than the stupid teenage drama...

Dominatrix used to say "I want an EASY job that pays a LOT of money just like my mom has!"

and

"My mom's boss is her FRIEND" Which is kind of true. The Girhippo is a CHILD PROTECTIVE/FOSTER CARE worker (ironically) and one of her BFFs got her in to that job when being an entrepreneur as a caterer just wasn't paying the bills. Who knew that you had to work hard and be responsible when you have your own business!!!?? Also the fact that the Gir can't cook probably had something to do with it as well.

Dominatrix (SD stb 17) has absolutely crater failed in school for the last ten years but want to go to college to become a counselor for pooooooooooooor piiiiiiitiful children of divorce whose mean old daddies left them (TM)

Thunderfoot wanted to be a cartoonist but I think we finally made her see the light on that. The latest is a real estate agent. I told her she probably wouldn't like that because you have to be around people you don't know all the time. She would not excel in that at all... She is no personality.

High school was not a constant source of stress for me, either. No more than usual and just about right for the maturity of the time. These kids like my sd and yours just don't want to grow in any way. Vegetating while being waited on is what seems to feel comfortable to them. Anything more is "overwhelming." At least at my house.

This is exactly Thunderfoot. She's "stressed" at school because she's expected to pay attention, do homework and get decent grades. I don't know what she thinks work consists of.

Oh I can TOTALLY see her doing that. I wouldn't be shocked one bit. Her little stupid BF told her he has a "surprise" for her and she thinks it's a promise ring...and she's been talking about when they are moving in together. Chances are it won't last until she gets out of school but I could see her getting knocked up by him.

I feel you! If she gets knocked up, he better be prepared to take care of her because I am not raising HER baby.

I've told dh this until I'm blue in the face: no teen baby mamas at my house. I think it's the only thing that has made him face the reality of her burgeoning sexuality at all. And still I fear it's not enough. Sad

I don't even know if anyone has had the "talk" with her at all. I wanted to ask him the last time the BF was over and they looked like 2 leeches on each other but it slipped my mind until just now. I doubt he has though because we were watching a movie (he and I) and she came and plopped her fat butt on the sofa with us. It was the movie Rush (don't know if you've seen it or not) and the sex scene comes on...he immediately stopped it and said he was uncomfortable watching that with her. SOOO I doubt he feels comfortable enough to talk to her about the birds and the bees.

Oh, my dh has. Last week. Because he spotted a hickey on her neck! We know for a fact this mark was obtained at BM's house. I was going to blog about this whole drama but I just couldn't bring myself to. Anyway, after that, he certainly did have a sex talk with her. One I've been begging him to have since she was 12. I think hickeys showing up is too little late but at least he did it. And then there was Part Two the very next week (2 days ago). Ugh. Making me sick. So at least he has formally opened up the channel that she can come to him for bc. But at this rate she and bf will just oops one day like millions of others and then it'll be too late. They are on the verge of it now.

Much love to you my friend. I am pretty sure Thunderfoot is or has had sex with this boy. That's what she told Softheart anyway. DH didn't really do or say anything about it. As usual...

I thought of Thunderfoot this weekend when I saw exSd15 . She says when she grows up she wants to be a tattoo artist. Thunderfoot's doodling looks like the Mona Lisa in comparison to exSD15's drawings but she's going to do that for a living!

Well after last night...nothing will get done around there because I am not lifting a finger for anyone anymore. I will clean up after myself and my dog and that is it.

I am pretty sure my dog IS the only one in the house that loves me right now...but that's ok because he's the only one I love right now too!

She turned 16 in Feb. Actually on Valentine's day. :sick:
