SO, I really do NOT want to be petty but it has been increasingly hard to avoid it. I spoke to DH last night and he informed that he did in fact speak to SD about the incident at the tennis courts and now I am even more upset be was so dismissive when I decided to take the adult approach and talk to her. I really do NOT want to go down to a child's level and say "well you know what SD, today i don't want to play with you!" I don't think that is productive, it's just plain mean! But I don't know how else to get thru to her. This is NOT the first time she does something like this. I just have chosen to not voice to DH all the time because he used to tell me that I was being too thin skinned and that I wasn't giving her a chance. After a while I just stopped telling him anything and chose to just bottle it all up... and that is when the resentment started... but I digress.

Lets move on to this morning, we (DH & I) wake up and start making breakfast. SD wakes up and doesn't say a word to either of us, goes straight to the couch and wants to know why the TV is not on. ok, I stay calm and don't say a thing. She finally comes into the kitchen and looks around and states... "We are having pancakes and bacon?... yum!"<-- this part she was serious, she is obsessed with food. DH tells her "is that what it looks like? then yes, that is what we are making!" lol uumm, ok! So she gives dad a hug and walk out... I'm ok with that! So she continues to come into the kitchen to check and see if the food is done and give DH hugs; DH keeps telling her that the food will be done soon so stop coming into the kitchen... lol.

We sit down to breakfast and things go fine, until she gets frustrated because she doesn't get seconds. She is over weight to be 10; she weighs 102!!! I didn't even weight that when I was in HS!! OMG :jawdrop:

So DH gave into her and took only her to the tennis courts while BS & I stayed behind. May I just say that that hurts my feelings.. ouch!! I bought BS a Ben & Jerry's little itty bitty ice cream and when BS says he got it, she screams... "uuhhh, CAN I HAVE SOME?" when DH says no, she gets upset and pouts away. I hope tomorrow is better!
