Let's just do the opposite of what I want

Well SIL got SD12 this weekend for a family birthday party, with last minute notice. We were out of town seeing my parents which we had planned for over a month. On the drive home my husband felt guilty and wanted to see SD since SIL had been guilting him about not being around this weekend. (Oh so we should leave our schedules open for your whims?) So we dropped by the house to see them after driving 6 hours. 

A lovely surprise (Not!)

There are a lot of birthdays on my DHs side this time of year. Basically every other weekend for Sept and Oct. It's annoying because they expect everyone to throw a full on birthday party and we are expected to go to all of them which eats up half of our lovely fall weekends. My DH opted out his own, our nephew's, our neice's birthdays and we aren't even throwing a 1st birthday for our own daughter because I'm pregnant and it's a pandemic.

Any super strict BMs?

I know it is more of a problem when BM is permissive but does anybody have the opposite problem and a BM that is overly strict?

SD12 is constantly severely punished. She is grounded and has her phone taken away from her nearly all the time. She can be a spoiled brat but she is a typical tween and these punishments seem excessive. I have come to believe that it is more of a control measure than a punishment. 

Do you ever feel bad for your SO?

My husband has no one can really talk about SD with, no one he can remember fond memories of her babyhood with. Whenever he does talk to me about her I can't really respond because he will immediately get defensive if he thinks I'm being the slightest bit negative. Since I can't pretend to be excited about somebody else's kid I just try to stay neutral.

Getting rid of SDs toys

I am cleaning out our spare bedroom (SD's room, sorta) in preparation to fix it up as a nursery for my second baby. For those of you keeping track I won that fight! my husband was resistant to giving this room to our second baby because I suspected he wanted to keep it available for SD when she graduates high school in 6 years. 

Well this turned into a rant

I don't put a bunch on FB but I moved pretty far away from my friends and family and I post things for these people whom I don't see often. I've been posting monthly albums of my baby daughter's first year. Most people reply normal thing but then I get something like this:

"Cute pictures I can't wait to see SD and her in a pumpkin patch"
