It's been a while...(this is my rant for the day)

Hello! It's been a long time since I had anything to post about. That was a good thing...things were much better around here for a while. Here comes the BUT!! I am beginning to get annoyed with SD15 again. Sometimes, I really don't even know why. Just the thought of her annoys me sometimes. She is still lying to me about things, mostly little things now, which is an enormous improvement...but it still bothers me, I can't stand it...just tell me the friggin' truth already! Also, I have decided to keep my bath stuff in a caddy and tote it back and forth with me. I think it is ridiculous that I have to do this in my own house, but I have asked her numerous times not to use my stuff, and she still does it, and then lies to me about it when I ask if she is using it. I am fed up with it, so I am going to just keep it all out of her reach. We'll see how that works. She has had the same liter of shampoo and conditioner for over a year now, they are still pretty much full...I'm thinking there's no way she could be using them and them still be almost full over a year later. That's all I have to say for now. Was just feeling annoyed and needed to let it out, and this is the only place I can do that.

I love the idea of decorating the caddy to make it more personal... Biggrin Thanks! I might even post a pic of it when I get it done...haha!

I had to put a lock on my bathroom door. Skids have their own and aren't allowed in ours. Before that, she was using everything, even stealing items. I tried buying her the same stuff that I use, but then she'd take it to her mother's and not bring it when she returned. So now, the bathroom and bedroom stays locked all the time, even when skids are at BM's (because we quickly found that they were breaking into our house while we were gone during the day).

I have to share a bathroom with her (I am so hoping we get a house where we can have a master bath soon!), so I don't have any choice...which is why I am resorting to the bath caddy. She hasn't said a word about it, yet, and it is OBVIOUS that I took my stuff out of the shower, so I'm thinking she knows she's been caught and isn't going to bring it up. Her father is a little miffed with me, I think. He probably thinks I am being a bit selfish, or something, but I have asked so many times for her to respect me and my space, and ask before she uses any of my stuff, and she never gives me that respect, so bath caddy it is.

Sounds fair enough! I hated that she would use my stuff and go through my drawers and cupboards. The really irritating part? When I started locking things up so that she would have to ask (novel idea) to borrow something, she'd ask her father to ask me. She didn't even have the courtesy to ask me directly. Eventually I had to tell him to tell her if she wants something from me, she'll have to ask me herself. She won't do it LOL

I've been there, too...since I have disengaged from SD15, she goes through her father for everything, which is fine with me, but when it comes to wanting something from me, she has to ask me, and I have told DH that I will not allow her to go through him to ask me for things. She is a big girl, she can learn to act like one if she wants to be treated like one.
