How do you ignore?

Willow2010's picture

Pardon me if I sound like a whiny baby, but I am working off very little sleep and too much booze from the weekend. And no, that is not a normal thing for me. We had out of town guest and it was a great fun weekend, but I am not used to doing that at all. Feel like I could sleep standing up right now and may never want to see beer again.

Anyway. I need to find a way to not let this kid get under my skin so bad! How? How? How?

I disengaged, so I don’t care if he fails, breaks curfew, sleeps around and all that kind of stuff. NMKNMP.

How does your DH get SD/SS "water works" to stop?

sd9 walks around the house destroying and stealing whatever she wants when she gets mad cuz she has no fear. DH will try to yell at her but all she has to do is cry and he backs off. When i question him why there are no consequences, the jerk says "oh can't you see she is sorry". What tips/tricks can i give DH that gets the manipulation/crying to stop?

Halloween Fun

It looks like this year Halloween could be more tricks than treats. DH and I decided to invite not only his EX but my EX as well to trick or treat with the kiddos this year. So, we will have:

DH, ME, Our 4 Kids, His Ex, Her 2yr. old, My Ex, My In-Laws, and possibly My Parents walking around the In-Laws neighborhood on Halloween night. Oh the things we do for the kids! Smile

Start the Waterworks!!

So, the battle of the disgusting bedroom continues. I went to a psychologist on Thursday who basically told me to stop trying. She advised I step back and let DH do whatever he wants with the skids. Not my problem. I was on the way to embracing that.

Friday evening, DH goes into SD16's room and tells her to do her laundry (this is his definition of "clean your room"). I guess she didn't like him telling her b/c after he left her room, it sounded like she threw something across her room. IDK!!

Anyone know anything about Trichotillomania?

SD10 has been pulling out ALL of her eyelashes for about 6 months now. It kind of freaks me out. I really try not to look at her.

DH is looking into therapy (school suggested it). Which is good and something I suggested 6 months ago, but whatever.

Anyone ever deal with it? It's totally bizzare to me.

Football saturday

How about how BM brought my SS8 to his football game on saturday ( her only weekend with him this whole month) and she left after being there 5 mins not a word to anyone! She mentioned something to one of the other football moms "arent i lucky I get to leave?" the other mother replied " you arent staying? I havent seen you at a football game yet this season" BM response "No need to he has enough people here cheering him on" ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

Ok....so my parents divorced when I was around the age of 12. My father paid child support and did what the court asked of him...but really was not the loving affectionate type toward me. Everything had to go by the books and I grew to resent him for this. For the longest time I really blocked him out out my life.

Well now that I am 28, I talk and see my father, but still do not nor probably never have the relationship a father daughter should have.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone.

I've been looking at this site for a little while now. I guess things could be worse in my situation, but still it's hard.

I am engaged to the most wonderful man I have ever met. After many juvenile young twenties relationships, I finally found Prince Charming. The guy who stays up with me until all hours of the morning star gazing, sharing tea, and talking. The one who leaves love notes under my pillow, in my lunch, on my car. Really, I couldn't say enough good things about him.

She doesn't have to be thankful

SD9 is having a birthday soon. Every year DH plans a big shindig for her. I always go along with it. I help out, I plan. If it were my child, I’m not sure if I would have a big shindig every year, but that’s just me and not my choice to make. This year its 15 kids bowling with 2 kids sleeping over.
