My SIL started to do a project by herself that her DH had promised to do, she got tired of waiting, and he was obliged to 'take over'. A male friend of hers said ''If a man says he'll do something then he'll DO it! You do not have to remind him every six months!''

I laughed, so did DH, but he got the message!

SS has a job!!

Kids will get away with all that they are allowed to get away with...right? Ours do not even ask me for stuff any more, SS says I drive too hard a bargain! DH is really, really, getting tired of the twins now, they made 19 and are totally self absorbed and if it's not serving them they do not want to know! I can dismiss their disrespect, they are disrespectful little twats but that's their fault and not mine. What I loath is the total lack of consideration for anyone but themselves. DH is doing a course of chemo and they are still making demands!

Gotta love it!

SS 18 does his laundry and it's a three day event! Immediately after he puts laundry back into the machines and it's a two day event this time. I send him a text asking him to come get it...DH was going to 'talk to him about it' but so far I am not seeing any changes. SS texts me back saying he has not done laundry at our house for months and I need to stop stirring shit. He will deny, deny, deny, but his dad has moved laundry at least three times recently for him! His dad's thinking was so that I would not be upset?

Not sure what's next...

We went, picked SD up and took her to visit Grandma. At SD's request we took her home again, she'd beaten the crap out of this guy and his jaw was all swollen. He was begging her for mercy and promising he would not lift his hands to her again. SD is a little hellcat, she can pack a punch! So far this trip out and us returning her will lull the guy into a false sense of security that she'll be back. SD tells us that she's lining up an apartment of her own, where she'll have her own say and her own rules.

Has to happen this time around...

SD is living with a boyfriend/pimp and he is abusing her. He's victimizing her to the point where even she is afraid of him! This girl fears no thing or person. Of course, cynical me, she has no transportation since her mom reported the car taken without consent and SD was arrested for that. There was also a bench warrant out for her for skipping bail and being a no show in court. It's possible that she just wants to take our car and ride back to the guy.

Nice one DH....

SS 18 does not have a phone, his friends' kid brother ran over the limit on broadband (this kid is 4 years old?) and SS could not pay the bill...I'd have asked the kid's parents to contribute but I suspect SS is full of S#!T. DH needs to be able to get hold of SS to put him to work. I have a HTC smartphone that I am not using since we upgraded, we agreed it would be OK to use that one and get a number on the family plan. SS is itching to get out of the door to go get his phone so we say go, however the bill on the account we were putting his line on was two days past due.

Damnit!!

DH tells me that SS 18 and he talked and SS will take the TV upstairs after all, to his room! I'm like 'hold it!' This is the same TV that I asked SS to carry upstairs for me weeks ago and it's still sitting in the living room. I already asked a friend if she wanted it, actually it can sit there for me, for ever! It's not in my way! I'll put a cushion on it and use it as a footrest!

We plan on travelling when the monsters all leave home, that, and the love I have for DH and SKids is the ONLY thing that kept me going through years of pure hell. It's been going on for nearly 8 years and coming to an end...sort of.

Being a step parent is great, until the kids become aware that you have authority.

BM went between idle curiosity, placing herself at a locations she knew we'd be at, and resentment because the kids liked me, and then downright venomous when she realized that DH was not her puppet any more.
