SD is Pushing it Tonight

SD has a cold. She ran around all weekend with her friends, went shopping and worked last night. Today she decides she's too sick to go to school. DH gave in and let her stay home. Its a sore topic with me. I don't agree with letting kids skip school and have always imposed the too sick for school too sick for work and fun. PERIOD.

She starts the day off this morning walking into my bedroom while I was undressing to get in the shower. I was pissed but hoping for a little peace I went on about my day. I had hoped to take advantage of having a day off when everyone else had work or school to do school work and do some tax returns. I managed to work on some homework during the day and have been in the office doing taxes tonight. Our office is actually the 4th bedroom next to her room.

DH was working at a client locations in the morning. He decided to work from home in the afternoon instead of driving back to the office in the snow. (SO TIRED OF SNOW)....

Since I was working and still had homework we decided to pick up carry out from the Chinese restaurant. DH went into SD's room and told her she had her choice of carry out, leftovers or she could make herself something. Apparently she wasn't happy about her choices. DH told me he was going to pick up food before the roads got bad and SD had declined her options, she wants a hot cooked meal or she won't eat. When DH got back he let SD know if she changed her mind she could help herself to whatever was in the kitchen.

About 45 minutes later I went back to the office to finish the stuff I was working on. DH came in and was working at his desk. SD starts whining and whimpering. When no one came running she starts sobbing. Next came the headboard of her bed banging against the wall. Finally, we hear the sound of something being thrown. DH goes in her room and comes out with her remote control. He asks me if I'm working on wireless then disconnects the internet. It's now escalated to the I'm abused, they won't feed me, they ignore me and won't talk to me, they hate me and pick on me......

DH goes out to clear the driveway while SD is yelling at her mom on the phone, mostly about how I hate her and DH doesn't care about her. BM called at least 5 times before he gets back. He took his phone to the other room and came back. "I don't know which ones worse!" He hung up on BM when she started lecturing him about not making her angel feel welcome in our house. UMMMM SD does this to herself. She goes to straight to her room and closes the door. When DH insists that she has to eat dinner with us she eats as fast as she can and excuses herself saying something like, "I'm going to go be a hermit"

Now SD is calling him from her bedroom. This is all because I refused to stop what I was doing to cook her a meal and DH didn't come running to see if she was OK when she threw a baby fit.

She's how old??"

She just turned 18. It's sad.

Ignore her and her whiny,

Ignore her and her whiny, lazy ass attitude. Let BM deal with her crap.

We were ignoring it until she

We were ignoring it until she started throwing things. She's seen BM once in a month, BM couldn't deal with her that's why we have her. Every couple of months she throws a fit and calls BM to tell on us when she doesn't get her way. BM usually tries to educate us on how to parent a teenager. She tried to explain to me how to handle a teenager. To which I replied, raised two off them, their both in college. Then she tried to tell me how SD was special and couldn't be expected to wash her laundry or clean up after herself. I guess my contempt showed because she told me I should look at her when she's talking to me. My response; "This is my house and I won't be disrespected. Not by your daughter and certainly not by you." She won't talk to me anymore. YEAH!

LMAO, this isn't even the

LMAO, this isn't even the biggest fit she's thrown. At least we are home this time. Last time it was because I ordered when she wasn't ready. She refused to order, stormed out of the restaurant and refused to get in the car when we were leaving.

Another time BM came to rescue her. She jumped out of her car and hitched a ride back here.

She graduates in May. DH and

She graduates in May. DH and I have discussed it. After she graduates she has three options. f she gets a full time job she can pay rent. She goes to college full time and can stay as long as she follows the rules. If she doesn't go to school or work full time she's on her own.

My BS will be moving home in May, while he attends grad school. He leased a house with a group of kids the last two years. He will be paying rent but way less than an apartment would cost and has the option to do some projects we want done to reduce his rent. My BD will also move back in May. BD and SD get along fine but BS is another story. He can be judgmental and isn't afraid to tell someone their acting like an ass. My guess is six weeks of having them both here and she will run back to moms.
