Skid Weekend and DD1 Birthday Party

SMLIFESUCKS's picture

Alright so my weekend was anything but relaxing. I am totally worn out. DH arraigned for free tickets to a local amusement park for me and my kids for friday. DH says that he thought they were open at 10:30am but it turns out they were open at 7:00pm. So I kept the kids out of school for nothing. Oh Well!

I know fuss at me because I kept them out of school but I never do. Their BD took them out on monday to go chase after his GF at the fair to see if she was cheating on him, while he's been cheating on her. Wow Jerry Springer much. Anywho, I just laugh at him.

So friday night, Me, BS13, BD9 and DD1 go to the local amusement park. DH gets the girls, SD11 and 8. While we were gone he was suppose to take them to walmart to pick out a gift for our DD1, their sister, for her birthday.

DH text me a picture of a costume that a caption "SD8 wants to be this". So I'm at this park, thinking wth. So I answer back "I thought we agreed to pick out costumes with all the kids together". To his answer was we did, she just showed him what she wanted to be. Hello Dumb Dumb, you aren't even suppose to be on that aisle. UGH!

So I went on with my kids at the park. We had dinner, it started to pour so we left. We got home around 10pm, and surprisingly enough, left to his own devices he put the SDs to bed. YAY! I'm sure after that exhausting trip to walmart, where I know they listed out everything they "wanted" he was tired.

I asked DH if they enjoyed their time together without us. SDs having been saying they want "time with just daddy" ever since my DD1 has been born. So they got it. DH said "you were the one at the park, did you have fun". I told him even though I appreciated the tickets, they had closed the kids rides for the night time activities so we didn't really do a whole lot and we got chased out by the downpour.

DH then said he had a talk "about me" with the SDs. I said to this "oh great what I do now?". Now mind you I haven't seen them in at least a month. I dont ask about them anymore, because all it causes is a fight. The last time they were with us there was drama over SD11's cell phone. So I have went on with "my life" and got busy with photography.

DH said that he asked them if they even cared about their baby sister DD1, because they dont ask about her or even show her any attention. SDs response "she is so small we are scared we will hurt her, we just throw our sister (bm's kid) around and it dont matter" What?? That kid is like 2.

DH then said "do you not like SM? You come here and say hello because I told you have to and then you ignore her exsistence for the rest of the weekend. How would you feel if I did that to you? You are making everyone feel like you dont like anyone here or care about them at all."

To which the SDs supposedly said "yes they like me". Whatever. I dont really care as long as they acknowledge the adults coming in and listen to what they are told. I dont need to "bond" with them because I'm not their parent and they obviously dont care I am there.

This is all DH, I have told him for a year and half now that these kids dont want me and mine or ours around. He is now seeing it. SD11 said "dadddyyyy" 30 times in one hour, I kid you not, I counted. DH was ignoring her, not sure why but he was. She didn't get the hint, she kept on, I just didn't say anything. DH finally snapped and said "what". Then she just said "I love you". UGH!

Saturday was our DD1's birthday party. I made two cakes and decided to show BS13 how to do it. SD11 decided she was going to be there too, did she ask to, no. She just decided she was going to be there, ok fine. So it turned into 4 kids in the kitchen while I was attempting to make 2 cakes for the party. A small one for DD1 and the one for everyone else.

OK annoying but I dealt with it. SD11 then said "mommy doesn't make our cakes, we have to buy them from the store". OKey Dokey then. I was icing the cakes and she says "I didn't know you knew how to do that". I was like "yea taught myself". I didn't say it sarcastic before anyone jumps me. I kept my comments to myself and acted like I was "happy" to be playing mom.

No I dont want to be their mom, so dont jump that one either. It wasn't so bad until the party. Then SD11 grabbed DH around the neck, intertwined her fingers and pulled him into her face to talk to him because he was talking to the other kids at the party. REALLY. I said nothing, I just looked at DH. SD8 then ran and jumped on DH back and clinged to him like a spider monkey as he was attempting to get the stuff ready to cook the food.

SDs were kicking and throwing a ball in the house. I told them about 20 times to stop with the ball in the house. DH was outside cooking on the grill or I would have had him do it. It was cold and had rained the night before so I couldn't send them out. SDs were so extremely loud and trust me they weren't the only kids there. The babysitter, my friend, said "oh they aren't so bad" so I told her to go ahead and let them stay the night with her, she declinded. LOL

I did ok and I was kind of irritated but tried not to let it show because it was suppose to be a happy occasion because DD turned 1. The SDs attempted to get "daddyyy's" attention away from DD by bumping him while he was taking pics, hanging off him, getting in between DD and DH. I just didn't say a word until it affected my house or my kids.

So I survived and apparently DH has to work the next SDs weekend so YAAAAYYYY!

It wasn't as bad as it has been but I'm just so over it at this point.

Next time take the ball away and send them outside to Daddy anyway. Not your kids, not your problem.

"30 times in one hour" - u lucky dog.

yss11 cant' go with 15 seconds of silence before saying the dreaded "hey ddaaadddyyy???"
yes ladies, 15 seconds. i've counted it out on the living room clock. he'll ask a question, dh will answer, they might go back and forth a few times until the conversation loses steam and dh's brain moves on. NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN SECONDS LATER - "hey dddaaadddyyyy???" (although sometimes it'd be four seconds, or twelve. but none longer than 15).

it is absolutely infuriating when they refuse to allow their dddaaaddyyyy to speak or show any attention towards someone else. yss has been doing this more and more frequently and boy i tell you it just PISSES me the hell off. that, and saying the exact opposite of ANYTHING you may have said. i try not to react at all, but he is freaking relentless.

the worst part is, it's dh's fault - he lets it happen.

I agree with what you said about not caring if the SDs like you but wanting them to listen to you. I've told my husband the same thing. I don't care if my SD likes me, but she needs to respect me and listen to me. He always seems concerned that she doesn't like me anymore (according to BM and GBM) but I don't care. She listens to me in my home and that's all that I care about (as long as DH isn't undermining my authority).
