SD13 got herself suspended from school AGAIN. This is the second time in the past couple of months and that doesn't even include the IN-school suspension stuff.

This time it was for bullying and mouthing off to the teacher.

Last time SD got suspended I threw a royal fit because she slept in, watched tv all day, generally enjoyed her day with no consequences (her phone had already been taken away...he just told her it would be longer before she got it back.)

Just a couple of days ago I posted that I was all out of give-a-damns for my SD13 and sincerely thought it was the case.

Then yesterday, she did the sweetest thing...

Saturday evening her birth-grandmother came to get her and took her out to get a dozen pink roses for her BM for Mother's Day. SD brought them in and put them in water for the night, then took them with her the next morning for a Mother's Day breakfast with BM's side of the family.

Mini-Wife Syndrome is so controversial. Thank God for Steptalk where most everyone is supportive of each other's issues.

HOWEVER, I often see women getting attacked for even breathing the word on other Facebook groups, so I started one for us stepmoms who are dealing with Mini-Wife Syndrome. If anyone wants to join us it can be found at:

SD13 lost her phone about three weeks ago because she got suspended from the bus for 3 days PLUS got put on in-school suspension for a different misbehavior.

The past few days she has been making a big deal out of the fact that she has "three B's" now and is doing soooo well in school. And yesterday evening she asked if her teacher had called. When we said no, she said her English teacher was supposed to call and tell her dad how good she's been in school.
