Ok, this is really just another vent. I know many people on this site have worse problems, so thanks in advance for "listening." My SD12 has been with us since Dec. 26th (feels like forever!). I posted not long ago about how she recently stole from my BD15, lied about it to me, DH and her BM, and only confessed a few days later because she was cornered! Her punishment was losing her iPhone for 5 days, then she had all her privileges back. Grrr! Needless to say, my BD and I are not exactly "over" that! Ok, new situation -- I, being the cat lover that I am, recently took in a stray mama cat and her five kittens. My DH, although not thrilled, has been pretty tolerant of the situation. I found homes for two of the kittens already, and today almost had a home for a third. A friend of my BD's was on her way over to take kitten number 3. (I had mentioned this to my DH last night.) He told SD12 at the last minute that someone was on their way to get kitten number 3, and she burst into tears, saying that was "her cat." WTF?!? My DH came downstairs and told me that we had a problem.....that SD wanted to keep that kitten, and couldn't they take another one?? I said no, they had already worked it out with my BD that that was the one they wanted, and they were on their way to get it! Well my DH flat out said no, we had to keep that one cause SD wanted it. I was livid, being that SD is normally only over here every other weekend. And it's not like she does anything to help take care of it. There are two other kittens that are just as cute, if not cuter, and she could have kept one of those. Ugh!! So my BD has to tell her friend to forget it, she can't have that one. I am so upset....have been "disengaged" in my bedroom most of the day. I told my DH I hoped he was prepared to pay for shots and spaying of "SD's cat," because I won't be. I love my husband, but watching his little princess get her way all the time makes me sick. I'm sorry, but this child has mediocre grades and NO interests or activities other than texting and watching TV. She is already overly interested in boys, and makes inappropriate posts on her Twitter account (uses foul language and posts about guys' "hot bodies"). This kid doesn't need a kitten, she needs parenting!! DH always feels sorry for her.....says her BM doesn't pay her enough attention, etc. That may be true, but from reading this site, I know there are way worse BMs out there!! SD's BM has a full-time job, owns her own home, keeps it clean, etc. I'm thinking this may be a long few years until SD12 turns 18. Thanks for reading....
