Well the Brat came home from college this weekend and does she call her Dad? NO

We are now going on the 2nd month since DH has spoken to SD18 since she asked for her insurance card and he said no. He asked her to delete her tweets about pot use and drinking. She said no and that of course he was again not there for her. Boo hoo! So they have not texted since. He won't reach out and apparently neither will she. For me, thankfully, she is staying away.

News from BS19 and an absolutely thrilled mom....Parenting insight

My son is about to be published for a research project he is interning in his sophomore year of college. He is a BME student and is working on a stem cell project. Hard to explain, but a machine designed for the density of a stem cell and whether it can be replicated for organs. Very cool stuff. Anyway, this child is brilliant, but when he was looking at college his Junior year and came home and said he wanted to go to one of the top engineering schools in the country and get a biology degree because they didn't have microbiology, my answer was "NO". A very large no.

Need advice...SD is off to college

As most of you know, SD18 sued us to live with mom and put us through hell again recently trying to get back into our family. It was a disaster of a family vacation and now no longer welcome in our home. DH sees her and texts her from time to time. She left for college yesterday to the only school she could get in that is basically a party school about 4 hours from home. She will fail at this and end up back at home. I am sure. BM made her take out the student loans to go. 12K a semester. Not our problem. DH knows not to give her a dime.

Love Twitter....Reminds me everyday why she is not welcome here....

I check Twitter at least every other day. I stopped a year ago and then DH said she was changing and suicidal and we needed to bring her back into the family. SD18 to remind you all sued us at 14 to live with BM. We stopped fighting and DH didn't see her for over a year. Now he sees her periodically for lunch. That is it. Last Christmas we started having her over for dinners and ultimately I was convinced the day before we left to take her on our family vacation to NY and Boston.

My conditions for re-entry for SD18

After listening to DH be proud of SD18 and graduation last week and listening about BM sending her off to England to celebrate graduation with a girlfriend, I know the day is coming when BM is done dealing with this kid.

DH was asked to take SD to freshman orientation at the Party college. Thankfully, he said no after I pointed out that the one paying should go and that was not him. Why ask the one person that you have not included in anything for the last 4 years. Not a doctor appt., therapy, suicide attempt, prom, track meets, nothing. It doesn't make sense.

SD18 and graduation tonight....She managed to graduate and asks DH to go to College Orientation

Well DH is going to the graduation. Showing up late by himself. We agreed, that it is not in BM's best interest that I go. }:)

He is not giving her anything, I did ask. She is amazing, the two exams she needed to pass because she had D's in the class, she managed to get an A in one and a B in the other. How the hell do you fail classes all year and then get high grades on the exam?

SD18 and her latest drama....

DH had dinner with her last night. Don't get too excited, it was an hour and 23 minutes when he came home. The earring in the nose is small, but he told her it bothered him and she said everyone else loves it. Um, OK? Then she admits she totaled her car a couple weeks ago. Apparently the brakes went out. Okay...It was only about 2 years old.

My Mother's Day...It is possible to get nice sentiment from our kids...Including the SK.

I had a nice Mother's Day. Went to mass with BS19 and my mom and then out to breakfast. Had dinner the night before with my boys and DH. SS15 and BS19 at our favorite sushi restaurant with the Suki Yaki which is mine and SS's favorite thing. Lot of work but fun.
