Why I'm Sick of FSD's Picky Eating

KatDarling's picture

I have read several blogs and forum posts and I know that I am not alone in having a pickey eater on my hands. FSD will eat pizza, chicken nuggets, mozarella sticks, waffles, and desserts. Honestly, it drives me crazy. I'm beginning to isolate a few reasons why I find this so annoying.

1. FDH says he disapproves of her limited tastes but makes no attempt to introduce her to new foods.

Who does she think she is?

Does anyone have a problem with BM calling DH at work? She never calls him at home, only at work. Does she not understand that he is at work? He can't sit on the phone with her? I can see if it is an emergency, but it never is. It is just stupid stuff to argue about. Like she told him she needed our tax info so she could help SD apply for financial aid for some college classes. Ya like I will let that out of my sight. Or she will call him with some other stupid crap about what his children did wrong. He never gets a call when they are going to a prom or anything like that though.

BM's spending spree

Ok, so it's HER money to do what she wants with it..but I'm just going to vent. BM refuses to put the skids in sports because she claims she doesn't have money. Then she lies to her daughter that it doesn't work out because the times confict with school...it's a complete lie so she doesn't have to pay for the sports and because it's "somewhat" of a hassle for BM to have to drive them to and from something and supervise and, oh, BE A PARENT!

SS12 and frustrating BM, again and again....

I have mostly disengaged on the parenting stuff with SS12, but on Tuesday I did take him to Karate, since DH had taken my son to a BB game. Well SS got a stripe on his belt and was very proud of himself. He comments to me, can you imagine how good I could have done if I had gone last week. He is supposed to go every T and R. We pay for this. BM agrees to take him or we are just out the money...

Hmmmm? Gen Y (18-34yo) late launchers but successful. Not sure I agree with much of this.

It seems that many of us have Skids that are the poster children for the boomerang kid element of this article.

update to 18 and the bar

Okay, so I had to tell DH about the plans. I was a little miffed at his reaction and lack of knowing what to do....I think he is afraid that she will get pissed and run away again...I say suck it up!
I told him that if it was our daughter (our now 8 year old) there would be no way in hell that she would go.
He sort of told her no....he asked her if there was something else they could do.
I told her she had no damn business being in a bar at 18!

She played the dumb card and said she had no idea it was a bar....blah blah blah....always miss innocent.

My letter to SD20 after CPS incident and fake apology

Justwantsomepeace's picture

This is the response I sent to SD20 after her involvement with CPS coming to our house about SD15 (see previous blog), and her years of blaming me for every possible thing that could possibly go wrong in her life. I'm tired of being the whipping boy, so I was trying to get her off my back. I have no hope of this meaning anything to her, but I sent it anyway.

SD20,
