Today I collected SD19 from her BM's house so she could come and visit with us and SD14 for a few hours before we put her on the train to college. It was a relief when I arrived to see BM's car was not on the drive. SD came out and started to put stuff in the car, then my relief was shortlived when BM arrived back a few moments later. When she walked past me to the house she did manage to say 'Hello' in a 'I will say hello in order to maintain minimum decency but I begrudge it because I hate you' manner.

I was a little panicked Friday night. I did arrive home early, but deathly ill. Loghead informs me Princess is on her way home from college, and bringing a new friend. I ran around like a chicken, cleaning like crazy for about 20 mintues. Then I realized that was ridiculous. If she couldn't have the decency to give us notice she was bringing a friend, she'd have to deal with a messy house.

So this morning BM came by and picked up SS and asked if she can do the walk through I of course said NO BF had to be at work at 9 this morning and I was alone with my BD5 and SS3. I did tell her I would look through the court paper work to double check if its madnatory for her to do the walk through she said it was I told her I would double check anyways to make sure.

sd bd and bs (and myself) went shopping. sd needed school shoes so my boyfriend gave her 60 bucks so pick some up. we went to tj maxx an she had no luck. we went to the mall, we went to tradehome shoes and she found a pair she really liked and i said "well lets go to some other places and see if u can find a pair u like even better?"

so alot of u have given me some great advice on my last blog but im still strapped for answers and have more questions.... when i notice his kids doing something "naughty" he gets upset and yells but if my bd does something naughty and shes younger than all his children she gets yelled at and sent to her room and even the tone in his voice is dif... almost like he has more tolerance for his own... im not sure.

I have come here when I really need to get a few things off my chest with out taking it out on my family and to look for support and understanding, and for the most part I have recieved support, understanding, and great advice. But I have also got alot of critcism for my views towards my Skids.

Im dating an amazing guy who has a 4 yr old. I love her to pieces! She is so sweet and when its just me and her she listens to me and i have no problems.
but as soon as "daddy" comes home she has listening issues, dont want me to touch or be near him, but still wants me to play with her!

I am so glad to have found this site. It was by chance and in a time of desperation about a week ago. I have so, so much studying to do for grad school tomorrow and I would be worrying about this all day. This opportunity to vent, will hopefully limit the time I'll be thinking about this painful situation. Thanks again to everyone for your advise and support. I will return the favor...

I have been dealing with her entitlement issues for years. I didn't speak up until she began hurting GD with us as the weapon. I was livid! She also considers herself the most important woman in her father's life and that I must take a backseat, while she, "the queen", gets all of her financial needs met. He allowed her to move into his nice 3 BR ranch at a low rental rate when he moved in with me. She trashed the place and moved out 'cause she didn't want him telling her to maintain important things.

SD has verbally abused and manipulated DH for many years. Four years ago she had a child by a man who went back to his wife and and left her a single mother. He has nothing to do with his daughter. More and more SD is using GD to get what she wants from DH. She is also a drama queen who must have a social life with a lot of attention from anyone and everyone. This leads to a necessity for her to have GD stay overnight at GP's homes nearly every weekend.
