I REFUSE to be an Alarm Clock or Chore Reminder

So, SS18 has been tardy to school three times in two and a half weeks. I refuse to be an alarm clock and go wake up an 18 year old to tell him its time to go to school (H travels every week). Also, H text me last night and asked me to remind SS to put out the trash. Nope, not going to do it. He should only have to be told once and I'm not the one giving the order so I'm not going to give a reminder. I think I will just sit back and watch both SS18 and SD17 self destruct. SD17 doesn't want me to be a "mother" so I'll be NOTHING and thats just fine with me. I will just get off the sinking ship and watch it go down.

Isn't it just as easy for your husband to remind his own kid instead of wasting his breath to you? Surely he knows these "kids" don't want a second mother figure.

He will find out soon enough. I'm done. I tried to be a mother figure and had it thrown back in my face. I'm not lifting a finger anymore. ROFL

I can't help thinking about the holidays and how I do not want to partcipate. Why should I spend hours cooking for this joke of a family? A SD who hates my guts and says so and a SS who could care less because he is too into himself and lazy. I would rather go to my sister's house and spend time with them and my nephew. Is this horrible?

I usually love decorating for Christmas and make a big deal out of it and this year at this point I don't even want to waste my time. All for the same reasons above and thinking about Christmas morning just makes my stomach hurt.

I stopped cooking, cleaning, decorating except for very very basic things for Xmas - and I work a lot around that time of year. My "traditions" have been basically met with "meh" by everyone in the house, esp. SD14, so I don't bother any longer.  If they want to do it, then they can plan it.

Its fun to actually give people what they want.  Even when they don't realize what they are asking for.
