Can we stop with the excuses?

I got on to DH today about not telling me whether or not SD15 is supposed to be right home after school. Not that I care personally, but he needs to realize that he needs to be a parent here. With her history, if she doesn't show up when she is supposed to, then he can be made aware of this some time before 6 p.m., because I simply assume he told her she could do something after school and didn't tell me. Supposedly, she is at the boyfriend's yet again. I think DH is rather naive to think that nothing sexual is going on between those two! I mean, come on! The way SD15 is all over him whenever he is over here? Prancing around in butt shorts? Hello, grandpa! I've been keeping my eyes open...she hasn't needed lady products in months...but that has partially been due to the eating disorders. But her attitude has gotten terrible...it is like she has been PMS'ing for 2 weeks now...hmmmm! And the eating all the junk food in sight? May be nothing, but, yeah, I'm keeping my eyes open.

Anyway, I let DH know that I had the project grad exec meeting tonight, which means I will not be home until about 9:00 p.m. I pointed out to DH that when they get home, SD15 needs to pick up her smelly socks from the TV room, and do something with that cup from last night that still has milk in it! I pointed out she is lucky that the cats didn't spill it trying to get into it or something, because she would be cleaning that up to if they had! He tried to make the excuse that she is 15, and that is why she leaves her stuff every where. I flat out told him that wasn't an excuse, and she needs to quit treating the TV room like her personal space...it is not! Just because I'm not in there doesn't mean that she can trash it and do whatever she wants. He yells at BS19 whenever he leaves anything in there, but if SD15 leaves anything in there (which is all the freakin' time), it is, "Baby, can you pick up your _______?" Come on! Give me a break!

BM is pretty useless! New Years' Eve, she let SD15 spend the night at a boy's house! SD15 has had "boyfriends" since she was 10, and BM always thought it "cute", even when DH voiced his disapproval!

I think DH has just given up the boyfriend fight...which is sad!

Did I previously suggest you hide anything she leaves outside of her room. Toss it behind the couch or in a closet or storage container in the garage. Didn't I suggest you get her on birth control? Daddy will let her bring his grandchild home I guarantee it. Better to nip it in the bud so to speak.

Problem with the socks? I'm not touching those things!!! Yuck! I see how often she washes clothes, and I surprised they don't walk themselves back to her room! Girl has serious foot odor!

DH still refuses birth control! He's a fool if he thinks they aren't doing the dirty deed!

SD15's stuff was picked up when I got home...don't know if she picked it up or DH did. At least it was done.

Oh my...we had this with SS17 last year...his girlfriend who is the same age had an abortion. OH went mental at SS17 and told him cover up! Lord knows what the girlfriends family thought, but she was supposed to be on the pill...yeah right!
