Need to get away
I'm a little fed up today. I did stand my ground about dinner. We have our schedule for dishes and SD16 decided not to do her dish day. Everyone was wondering why I wasn't cooking dinner. DH finally opened his eyes and told her to do it. Then she said she was done after a few minutes because she had homework to do. Her two dish nights are the only chore she has.
A few hours earlier when DH and I were talking about yet another extra currulicular SD16 wants to do that requires a bunch of money which would leave her no time for the fundraising she needs to participate in so she can do a really expensive camp she wants to go to. He says it will at least keep her out of trouble. I asked him what kind of trouble is she not already doing? Then he said that marijuana I found in her room when I was looking for my missing hair care product - he didnt think she actually uses it. I was speechless.
Meanwhile since yesterday that kitten that I said we couldnt afford and she wouldnt end up taking care of but he let her get it anyway has gone into heat. I've never experienced anything so annoying from an animal. DH said we need to arrange to get it fixed. You think? I didnt say that but I did remind him that the cat is not my responsibility. He or SD needs to make the arrangement. Poor cat. Even though she is annoying right now I don't think she is happy. It's got to be miserable constantly meowing, spreading your scent on everything in between assuming the position. I don't know. I'm not a cat.
Luckily I get to go out of state for the weekend to visit my grandma. I'm already packing.

Enjoy your out of state trip
Enjoy your out of state trip to see grandma! You really need to get out of that environment and I'm sure new scenery will help a great deal.
Interesting how your SD wants to do an extra curricular activity although it will consume much of her time in fundraising for a really expensive camp she wants to attend. Why is this even an option of her joining?
Your H is in the worse kind of denial when it comes to his daughter. If she's not using marijuana she may be selling it or holding it for someone. Either way its not good so he needs to take his head out the sand.
Have a great time away and always take care of you!
Great for the dinner refusal!
Great for the dinner refusal! Exactly what I did and it works... can't cook if kitchen is a mess and no space/clean pots to use.
Now, disengage from the camp thing. You don't pay, you don't lend him money if he cannot afford it.
About the cat...poor thing. And it will get worse. Set a deadline for it to be fixed and research where - this is for the cat and yourself so I would do it. If they miss the date, you do it and it's now your cat or rehome the kitty.
