More nail polish issues...
I'm still out of town training, i don't finish until Friday noon. I decided to do something nice for myself and get my nails done. I gave this, pedicures, and tanning up a while ago when me and dh decided to move into a nicer, gated apartment so the kids would be safer. Before him I was fine living reasonable, but our expenses have jumped, we can't buy a house right now because of the foreclosure bm stuck us with when she refused to use the court ordered money for house payment, on the actual house payment. Anyway, I texted dh a pic and told him i was so happy to have them done again, it's been so long.
Apparently sd13 saw the picture ad decided she HAD to paint her nails...AGAIN...and it required unsung the cheats I have and my white ail polish. He was better and asked if she could use them, but he still fails to understand, she needs to ask. I said I guess, but he needs to go find them, because when she started hunting through my things, the went missing (around our wedding injune).
The thing is, why couldn't I have this one thing. I already gave up so much, and splurged just once. I haven't bought new clothes in forever, even after losing 100 pounds, I still have a lot of the same tops, and at one point tried to just taken in the slacks. Sd gets absolutely everything she asks for, a new wardrobe twice a year (she's growing so I do understand but is f'ing expensive).
I'm not even sure why I'm griping. I just know the sat two weeks that I have been in training, I have been very lonely, ad agitated. And then when I do get to talk to my husband, like tonight, I cant get a word in because se won't shut the fuck up....and he painted her nails for her this time. I asked why I don't get pedicures from him then since its something I cut out so we could move, get a family friendly car, etc....you could hear crickets. I started teasing him mercilessly, maybe he will knock that shit off. I'm just gripy, sorry.

Well, I did the same exact
Well, I did the same exact thing. After our wedding, we moved into a much bigger home, with a bigger payment. I cut out things like getting my hair professionally done, nails done, pedicures, massages, tanning. I'm slowly adding those things back in. I've kinda cheated myself because now everyone else never lost a thing. In fact, they've gotten more- not less.
So last weekend I went to the salon, got the works done. Then, DH, non verbally was trying to get me to pay the expenses hes supposed to pay, since I obviously had extra to have that day at the salon. He wanted to buy more expensive gifts for SS11s BDay. Nope. I clearly pointed out that he's already spent way too much. I think $200 is enough, don't you? Ha! He did pay the stuff he was supposed to. I wouldn't back down. I guess I'm at my proverbial wall- of I don't give a crap no more!! Lol
I'm with you completely!! I
I'm with you completely!! I did this exact same thing cut out getting my hair done, (I use to get it done every 8 weeks). When I married DH, I get it done maybe twice a year now! Then I cut out massages but I sit in an office all day and I have a crappy work chair, so I just found a wonderful masseuse and I'm getting massages every 8 weeks now! We still spend the same amount of the skids and on CS and I finally got pissed and told DH, they are your kids and your money is used to support them! I have no kids so, I'm not supporting anyone but the animals! LOL
It is really irritating. My
It is really irritating. My SD is 12 and she has to have anything I have and be in the middle of everything at all times. She is 13, doesn't she have her own nail polish? Shouldn't she be painting her own nails whenever she needs to redo it?
$200 for birthday is a bit
$200 for birthday is a bit much. We usually do one big present, maybe 75-100$, and then a few small things. Ss has all her own stuff, she would just rather do mine. As far as getting daddy to do it, I don't even know wat that was about. Either laziness, wanting to be mini-wife, could be a thousand things. Urg, I feel like I have been hit by a truck, these last two weeks have been so stressful! I can't wait until she goes back to bm's and they go on vacation. She can steal mama's stuff, use all of mama's stuff, and let mama buy her things.
my sd is the same way. she
my sd is the same way. she has to make everything about her, no matter what it is. i took bd to get a manicure for her bday one year, and sd ends up getting one, too. hmmm. bd doesn't get gifts on sd's bday! i asked fdh one day to stop at the store and get me some chips and salsa to take to work, and sd heard me say TO TAKE TO WORK. as soon as he gets back in the car, she is asking if she can have some. what a dumb bitch. i can't even have chips and salsa that are just mine, why should i expect anything else to be just mine?
#1 you need to take care of
#1 you need to take care of yourself. Set some money aside and get yourself some new clothes. Losing 100 pounds is quite a feat. Congrats! Now go out and buy yourself a couple of new tops, we have plenty of retailers with awesome sales. I am wearing a $6 Target T right now! (Not that I could wear that to work, but you know what I mean.)
#2 I would never want my husband to paint my toes. I shudder to think what they would look like after he was done. If you don't want to spurlge $25-35 on a pedi, you can go get a polish change for much cheaper (my place charges $8).
Again you need to set some $$$ aside for yourself. You work and make your own money. You should be able to enjoy life too. Next time your SD takes your things without permission tell your husband he will be replacing it!
I once decided to cut back
I once decided to cut back and save some money. Then I realized the money I was saving was going right to SD15. Her lifestyle didn't change. She has all brand name clothes and always cash in her pocket. So I go every two to three weeks and get a mani pedi and I don't feel guilty about it one bit. I even went yesterday and let DD10 get her toes done }:)
