What negative and positive traits do your skids/kids have?
We probably already know but what are some negative traits your skids have? How about your biokids?
What about postitive traits of skids? Biokids?
I'll go first
Negative Traits:
SD6--Can push and hit when she gets mad. Yells at you if you hug her but she doesn't want it. Runs away with candy or anything that she shouldn't have...or tries to. She usually gets caught.
BD10--Can be vendictive if she doesn't get her way. She writes nasty notes then gives you the silent treatment. She'll say things to make you cry; has a real wicked tongue. She's been known to throw things if she's oober mad.
BS12--is a bit of a smart ass at times. Doesn't take school seriously. Doesn't take his parents or step parents seriously. Doesn't take anything seriously...except quotes from Southpark and girls’ boobs. There’s an all boys boarding school in his future.
Postive Traits:
SD6--is so gosh darn adorable and cute with her little voice. She likes to share her toys and draw pretty pictures. She’ll grab your hand if she’s scared. The littlest things, like getting a piece of gum or a big green lawn to run on, makes her laugh and run around historically.
BD10-Loves to write stories. Has a great since of humor. She enjoys making things for her family and friends. She is equally protective of them. She’s studious and does her homework without having to tell her. She’ll whisper in your ear "guess what" and when you answer she gives you a kiss and says “I love you.”
BD12-Is my diplomat and surprisingly inquisitive. He can grasp other people's different view points. He's independent and likes to take care of things himself (another good trait to a point). He's not afraid to call you out if you're being mean. He's a peacekeeper but won't take crap from anyone.
I realize that all the kids in my household have equally bad and good characteristics about them. There's nothing that I've heard before that a kid has not done. I'm waiting for the day when I the kids are teenagers. You guys have filled me in on the joys of teenagers and what a pleasure they are to be around.
So what say you?
Positive about SD 15 She's
Positive about SD 15
She's sweet, 99% of the time. She is nice to me and respects me even though I was the other woman and she has every right to hate me for the rest of her life. She ADORES mine and her dad's BD 2. She is smart. She loves to help me cook. She'll do anything I ask her to do. I think she is a beautiful girl....she is overweight but she does not let it affect her, she is still sure of herself (I like to think I've helped her with that)!
Bad about her: The stupid phone, she is teenage phone ridiculous right now. She never knows when enough is enough with her mouth and talking back.
Positive about SD 21:
She's finished school and is in college.
Negative: She's rude. Has no manners, at my house but at hers expects you to have perfect manners (eat at the table, etc.) She talks shit about her dad. She is never satisfied with anything. Nothing is ever good enough for her. The list goes on and on but I don't feel like even thinking about it all.
Positive about my son 14:
He's got a good heart in there somewhere. He looks like me
Negative: Along the same lines as SD 21, I don't feel like getting into them all, I just wrote a blog about his scrawney ass a while ago!
Positive about my BD 2: Everything.
Negative: Nothing.
Positive Things about ss8
Positive Things about ss8 (soon to be 9)
SS8: He is funny, and wild in a good way and he reminds me how to laugh and just embrace the moment.
SS8: He is extremly smart for his age
SS8: He is starting to respect me more and he knows that im not going anywhere and also he just listens a lot more then he used too.
SS8: he has a big heart:)
Negative:
If we dont see him for a while as soon as we see him he starts to backtalk, and act crazy in a bad way, dosnt listen and then says "oh i didnt think you were talking to me"
Sometimes he just acts so much like his mother....
Bathroom manners..
Positives about SD stb14 She
Positives about SD stb14
She is very polite when she's not being a typical teenager.
She has a lot, almost too much, empathy for everybody.
She gets quite good grades.
Negatives:
Emotionally manipulative (she's surrounded by it and is manipulated daily by BM, all we have to do is get it through her head that it doesn't work on us)
Laaaaaaaazy, although that's either a teenager thing or Daddy isn't as scary as Mama so I'll "forget" to do my chores. DH can't get the dogs to obey him either, so I wouldn't be surprised by that.
Thinks her opinions MUST be injected into every adult conversation: this comes from BM dumping her money/boyfriend/husband/work woes on her and treating her like her best gossip buddy.
All in all, she has a (bare) chance to become a productive member of society or someone we'd like to be around.
