I'm in the irratated stage of PMS right now and I need to vent. Here are just a couple of things that are bothering me right now.

1.) If you read my previous blog from yesterday you'll know that SD(7) decided that she was going to be mean to my BD(7) when they were with MIL and FIL on a week ling vacation and grabbed her by the waist and drug her under water with her when they were swimmin. My BD just leared how to doggie paddle and is not a strong swimmer and didn't even have a chance to take a breath before she was forced under water. SD likes to be mean because she gets a kick out of watching other kids get upset or cry.

2.) Talking with MIL the other day about SD's behavior. I was explaining to her that I think a lot of her bahavior is due to her always being the center of attention and now she's not so she's acting out. MIL's response was to make her the center of attention again. Really?!? When I tried to explain to her that I think that doing that is setting her up for a rude awakening when she becomes an adult, because the world will not be rotating around her, she told me that her mother and father did that to her and she turned out great. Well, that's great for you. Not everybody is the same and you have no clue what it's like being in a blended or unblended family. Then she tried to pull the divorce card. I swear, the next time I hear that one I'm going to flat out tell her that my BD went through the same thing and her father pretty much abandoned her and she's not running around hurting or being cruel to other children because of it.

I just don't get her. The time before last when we were there SD treated her like sh!t and she was all about cracking down and having to be extreme in order to get her under control before she reaches the teen years and now she's all about showering her with attention because that'll fix the bad behavior. Well here's a little fun fact for you MIL. I think that's the reason she acts the way she does and she was given adult status for years. Divorce my a$$. She doesn't even know what she's talking about and I've spent more time with SD then she ever has. Oh and that's not forget her blamming SD's behavior on DH's and I relationship. I got the DH should have waited longer giving SD a chance to adjust. Walk a mile in my shoes MIL. You might be singing another tune within a month.

3.) My BD's bday is coming up here pretty soon. Last year we moved her into the den to get her away from SD. I want to do a bedroom make over for just like I did last year for SD because she was so sad after I moved my BD out. I told Dh about this and his response was, "what about SD's room. She has that wall with nothing on it and I want to put some posters up." I told him that's fine, even though it's not her bday it's my BD's bday. Then he went as far as telling me that SD's room looks like sh!t. Really DH?!? I spent a week coming home after work painting accent walls and paint over the huge picture that he started painting on one of her walls that he was never going to finish. I see where my hard work gets me.

Why does my BD's room make over have anything to do with SD's room? I just don't get it. Then once I start listing off what I wanted to do I get the you going to spend more than the $150 that we agreed upon for the kids bdays. Well news flash DH, I spent more then $150 on SD's room last year and I bought her a couple of presents on top of that.

I also want to move this huge adult desk out of the den because it's a bedroom and of course DH is like, "why do you want to do that? I would have loved to have a desk when I was a kid." Yes, Maybe a kids desk. Not a huge desk that nobody uses that takes up and entire wall in my BD's bedroom. I want her to have a normal little kids bedroom. WTH is wrong with that. So now DH is going to put it in SD's room because he thinks that she'll love it and her room is so bare. Let's see, she has a bed, dresser, toy box, night stand, a little light up flower bush, and a bean bag seat. Yes we have deprived her of having wall to wall sh!t in her room. She basically has nothing.

I actually think this is more than PMS. I think that I would be p!sses even if my hormones weren't raging at the moment. What the hell is wrong with these people?
