Hopeful for a good weekend....
SO is coming home tonight from being away all week! I'm pretty excited to see him since we spent most of last weekend fighting.
SD13 is also coming this weekend. I am really going to try my hardest this weekend to not be so irritated by her. I feel bad for the kid, its not necessarily her fault that she's so messed up.
After all the drama with BM this week, and SD saying she wants to kill herself, we have our first appointment tomorrow at our house for a crisis counselor to come and talk with SD and find out whats going on with her and to get her some help. I'm hoping that this will show her we care and will show her a little love and attention.
I have a really hard time with this whole "attention" thing. This kid craves attention like i've never seen before. BM thinks that all is wrong with her is that she needs more
attention. Ok, I get it, some kids need more attention than others but this is just extreme! The more attention she seeks, the less attention I want to give her. I just have no time or patience for people who are self involved and seek attention. Shes like a 5 year old and thinks the world begins and ends with her. I just cant take it. I'm hoping this counselor will help her with some coping skills and to boost her self esteem so she isn't so insecure and constantly looking for approval.
Even though I can't stand this kid, I still care about her and I want to see her be a successful adult and want her to be ok mentally and emotionally.
I just really hope this weekend goes well and we can all get along. I have so many mixed emotions but im feeling hopeful.

Yep same one. BM made a huge
Yep same one. BM made a huge deal about it at first and made it sound like it just happened so we panicked and called crisis and then BM tells me that she doesn't know when it happened but she has a "mark" on her arm and apparently SD said she wants to be "an emo kid".
I don't understand where it comes from either. Definitely a lack of coping skills. I would have NEVER even considered threatening suicide to my parents when I was young. And if I did, my parents would hand me a knife and say here you go. No one calls kids on their bullshit like they did when I was younger. If I threw a tantrum in a store my parents simply walked away. Now they are all over the kids, oh please stop crying, oh im sorry, sure you can have whatever you want. F that! My kids will NEVER be like that. Tough love is what I got when I was a kid and that's exactly what my bios will get, if I ever have any.
Everyone is too effing sensitive these days! Man up!!
Lol I walked away from BS
Lol I walked away from BS during a tantrum when he was 2.5 in a store. He looked up, stopped crying and went to find me.
Literally never threw himself on the floor in public again.
She's also the one who just
She's also the one who just takes your stuff and complains all the time and has no sense about how to dress appropriately, right?
Counsellor moeilijk says: BOUNDARIES! You can put a check in the mail and save on the crisis-call out.
Good luck this weekend!
