SD8 is going home to BM for the 4th of July Holiday and as much as I love her, it can't come soon enough. I need a break! Whenever she knows she is about to go to home we have nothing but problems with her. Seriously, at 8 flippin' years old, do you really need to be reminded every single time you use the toilet to FLUSH the dang thing? Do I really need to stand there to make sure she is bathing properly and brushing her teeth? Honestly.... come on! I know when she is at home BM lets her do whatever she wants and isn't a very clean person but we've been doing this routine with her for over a month and suddenly she just forgets? UGH! Not only that, the lies.... and the stupidity is just over whelming. I can tell her to do something, make her repeat it back to me and walk the total opposite direction and forget what I am telling her. This is a regular thing when it is time to go back to BM's but this time seems to be way worse. If I hear one more "I didn't know", "I forgot", "I didn't hear you" or "Ummmm.... Ummmmm..... Ummmmm....." come out of her mouth, I am bound to snap. How many of you others have to deal with this crap? It takes about a week at the beginning to get her adjusted and then the last week is when everything starts to fall apart before she goes home but this year seems to be way worse. I don't know if it has anything to do with SD8 paranoia of BM expecting another kid in few months or what it seems to be but I am going nuts! I feel so bad because I don't like to have to ride her and constantly be bitching at her but seriously.... she is getting to old for this crap. At what age is it going to stop?
