School starting soon! And DH reigned in the beauty queen!!
Dear God, please make these 10 days go fast!
I long for the return of regular bed times, the skids out of the house without me or their dad having to take them somewhere. I ache for those periods of time of silence in the house, where one can sit and have a cup of coffee without a teenager lodged in the crack of their ass wanting something.
On another note: DH finally got sick of skid3's position as the president and CEO of her own self admiration society. He took away all her make up, hair products, curling irons and straighteners. He told her it was obvious she was placing too much value on her looks and investing zero in her substance and until he sees her comprehending and practicing substance over superficial she will not be getting any of her 'beauty' stuff back.
They got taken away yesterday morning after another hour long bout of "Doesn't my hair look amazing, this make up brings out my eyes etc etc". Its amazing in nearly 24 hours there has not been a SINGLE selfie posted to facebook or instagram.

OMG! That is the best! I
OMG! That is the best! I love it! I don't understand why kids are so self absorbed.
You should have seen the look
You should have seen the look on her face. Slack jawed, horror stricken. School starts in 10 days and dad has all her make up and hair stuff.
And she can't steal/use mine or her sisters. We are brunettes, shes a super pale blonde.
I don't get it either. My
I don't get it either.
My daughter posts pictures of herself with her friends when they are hanging out. The only "selfie" she has ever taken was in her new work uniform and that was a "whoo hoo I got a job!" picture not a look at me I am gorgeous picture.
Skid1, DH's oldest daughter mostly posts pics of herself and friends MAYBE once a month will post a picture of herself. None of the 3 boys do selfies. But DH's youngest daughter, holy shit she makes up for the others slacking!
For the other 5 kids I
For the other 5 kids I utterly agree with you.
This kid will take 100 pictures of herself a day, post them to facebook, instagram (or both) and then spend her whole day explaining how many 'likes' she got, who said she looked "hot" or "fresh". All day every day is a never ending hunt for compliments from ANYONE.
Its not a lack of self esteem. Even her therapist has said that. The kid is frankly stuck on herself and in love with her own reflection.
Hot? Fresh? What is she? A
Hot? Fresh? What is she? A pizza???
What ever happened to beautiful or gorgeous or stunning? I'd rather be any of those than "hot and fresh"!
Oh no its not the lingo! You
Oh no its not the lingo!
You gotta keep up! From my understanding:
Hawt! Apparently is a the new desirable thing to be.
Heaux: This is the girls who dress skanky whose milkshake brings all the Beaux to the yard
Beaux: Man whores
Fresh: Apparently means pretty in a non Heaux way
"you look sick" apparently no longer means pale/green/ill/flushed... it apparently means you look fantastic.
If dh has been working with
If dh has been working with her about dealing with this issue then I say great consequence.
But if this is out of the blue and he just finally got fed up with it and threw down this consequence I'd have to say its unfair. I hate that t when dh does this to the skids.... He let's things slide and slide never saying a word then goes way overboard throwing down crazy punishments with no warning. Consistency is the key and unless she has been ignoring or fighting his guidance previously this seems seems harsh. If he's been working with this behavior and she's not been responding, then GO DAD.
Oh she knows. She has been
Oh she knows.
She has been advised by one and all that we are tired of her advising us of how "Hawt" she looks, tired of the fishing for compliments. I flat told her that telling people how gorgeous she "is" is rude and inappropriate (her reply was: but its the truth).
She has a therapist who has also been attempting to work on this with her. With no results. Literally the only time we get peace and quiet is when she is asleep (kinda, she does talk/grunt etc in her sleep) and during a 24 hour period when DH grounded her from talking.
She gets upset if she posts a picture to instagram that she thinks looks good... and it isnt immediately 'liked' by all of her "followers". Or if it doesn't get as many likes as someone elses picture does/did.
She will tell you how awesome her hair, eyes, boobs, ass, legs, etc look. Repeatedly, many, many many times a day. Not even really fishing for compliments, she is flat out bragging. She has also within the last few months turned into a brand name whore... if it doesn't have a brand name embazoned on it she doesn't want it.
I expected DH to ground her from talking again when she wouldn't shut up. He took it a step further, his reasoning was he already tried grounding her from talking and she didnt learn the lesson time to try something new.
