She's old enough to watch other children.But not old enough to watch herself?

I love when BMs twist the custody agreement and use it when it's convenient for them.According to BM,SD is old enough to be a babysitter with paid babysitting jobs for other kids at the kids house BUT sd is NOT old enough to be left home alone for a few hours.

Does this make sense to anyone?It doesn't make sense to me.Bm has some event to go to thanksgiving weekend and we're now stuck with SD all weekend bc and i quote, 'I don't want to have to hire a sitter for her and the agreement says you get her the whole weekend thanksgiving even if it's not your weekend'

DH,why is SD answering my texts to you?

I installed a voice to text app on DH's iphone.He uses it all the time to text me if he's on the road.It functions beautifully and he doesn't risk killing himself or others from texting.He just talks and it goes to full text and gets sent to my phone.

With that said lately whenever DH has SD with him I've noticed the texts back from him are in "text speak" you know,instead of I love you it's ILU or ILU2.That kind of stuff.Stuff that you have to be 16 with calloused thumbs from texting all day in order to understand.

Stuff that a 14yr old kid would text.

No I do not take grocery orders from a child

I came home last night to find a cutesy little grocery list from SD.

Of course she lists all her favorite junk foods that mommy lets her have at her house.At my house,we do not eat frozen chicken tenders.I am so sorry.I'm no health nut but I have to draw the line somewhere.

I take the list to DH and he of course says Oh she didn't make that to be condescending like you're her housemaid getting her groceries,she meant to give that to me bc i asked her to write out what she wants to eat while she's here this weekend.

Hello! Each time I think it's getting better,she ruins it.

I've been in the stepmom game for about 7 years now.My stepdaughter is 14.We have pretty much gotten all the major issues ironed out.Now it's just a matter of getting her to be respectful.Since mommy dearest coddles her like she's still 4 years old,SD can't do anything for herself.But I'm getting used to that and I simply step aside to let Dh handle it.
