SD12 overheard a phone conversation. She wished she didn't, I'm sure. LOL

Yesterday I blogged about Desserts and phone calls. I talked about how DH asked me to bring SD12 her lunch because she forgot it. I wasn't happy, but made the trip back to the school. I pick up DD8 and SD12 later that afternoon. As usual, SD gets into the truck without a word. She never speaks to me unless DH isn't around and then she must come to me. She always hesitates and hangs around until she gets the courage to speak I guess. Whatever. Not important. LOL

I was outside on the phone with my mom. My mom, by the way, can't stand SD. My mom hates the idea of SD living here because she fears for DD and DS. I'm standing outside on the side of the house having a conversation. SD gets brought up and my mom asked if SD even acknowledged me or said thank you to me for bringing her lunch. I tell my mom no. My mom goes off about me putting up with disrespect, that I shouldn't have brought the lunch, about how SD is such a mean and rude girl and onnn and onnn. My mom tells me I need to confront her and make her say thank you. I tell my mom I don't want to force her to say thank you. We go on and on. I'm talking to my mom about how SD is ungrateful and doesn't appreciate anything anyone does for her. I told my mom I was done with SD ..etc etc.

I turn around to head into the house and SD and DD are no more than a couple feet away from me. LMAO I am not ashamed of what I said nor am I embarrassed. I know that SD knows the conversation was about her and I'm sure that even if it wasn't, SD would assume it was because like we all know around here, the whole world, our lives, our thoughts and actions, including our conversations are ALWAYS about the SKIDS. HA. Ha.

The conversation wasn't for her and maybe it will teach her that listening in on things isn't always pleasant. I assume this because SD is extremely nosey and I have caught her trying to listen to other conversations I've had.

Let her listen, maybe itll be good for her to hear a different perspective on her behavior. Might be the only way she will straighten up.

The first time I "verbally bitch-slapped" my SD12(then10) she was SHOCKED. No one had ever told her she was a bully with her words before me. The look on her face is burned forever in my mind. But I don't regret it one bit and credit that moment with how much more carefully SD12 speaks around me now.

Kids need to know the truth. I know I feel a little crazy when I don't know the truth. Now your SD knows.

lol I've done that. SD would complain to DH and her counselor about how she was treated differently. Yes, of course she was treated differently for many different reasons. I never treated her badly or like Cinderella. Once when SD12 was about 10 or 11 I heard her treating DD8 like shit but kissing DS5's butt. It was so bad that DD had tears in her eyes and couldn't understand why SD treated/treats her so bad. I jumped all over SD. I told her that "You want to whine and complain about being treated differently, but yet you treat DD like crap and treat BS like royalty. Practice what you preach, little girl"

That's what she gets for sticking her nose in a place where it didn't belong. Like I told my SD when she was sneaking around in her boyfriends phone; don't go looking for things you don't want to find. This applies to eavesdropping too. Brat

I agree with fightin, stop doing for her. You are not getting any gratitude from her. So why do it? She needed to hear that. Honestly, sometimes the grandmas see things very clearly and when they say something, it is usually pretty dead on.
