Maybe a change in the right direction!
DH and I had a long talk last night while SheSloth was off at the game! Won't go through play by play, but it was not pretty! I laid it all out there...SheSloth's treatment of people, her attitude, the continually rewarding her when she doesn't behave properly, etc.
Already seeing a change today, and hope it lasts! Every time SheSloth has tried to get snippy, she has been put in her place by DH! We left the house without her leaving her to clean her room, because it will be clean before she leaves this house for anything fun! There was some fun regarding pictures on social media (see my post under microwaving iPhones). DH also saw that she was still texting during school, and told her next offense gets the phone lines locked down! SheSloth was forced to eat what was fixed for meals...lean meat, wonderful veggies (she looked like she was going to die eating it).
In all of this, DH told her that the nice guy is gone! She is going to start doing what she is supposed to! If she doesn't, it will be interesting to see what all can be taken from her (his words)!
Let's hope he sticks with it!
One step for DH
One step for DH !!!!
Hopefully it will continue ~ stay strong
Finally, your DH is coming to
Finally, your DH is coming to his senses! I hope it lasts. Mine is doing the same, little by little. He was in bed a few minutes ago, and all day long, I knew SD13 had left her wet sheets in the wash. So, I brought the dogs up and told DH, "Your turn." Told him SD13 needed to get her sheets in the dryer because I needed everything available to me tomorrow for laundry day. He got out of bed and yelled all the way to the basement for SD13. He told her to make her bed and brush her teeth before she went back to playing. Just today SD13 had the nerve to ask AGAIN when she could get her Halloween wig. I spoke up on that one, stating that she had 4 Fs just this past Monday. She replied in a cutesy voice "That was so five days ago!" Yes, but one F is still there and you got your ass handed to you the other night for yet another F. I suggested to DH this morning that she doesn't get anything until all Fs are gone, IMHO.
SD13 just doesn't get it. Earlier we had a talk about the wanting to be a boy thing going on her life and what she would wear to an upcoming family wedding. DH said he wanted her to wear a dress!! LOL She said it was her choice and we calmly told her it was our money buying the outfit. I also asked her why her Barbie dolls were all over the basement two days ago? I said it's ok to try and figure out your identity, but it will take time. DH posed some other questions and she just didn't have answers. I told her DH was her biggest hero. SD then proceeded to get an attitude and write a long letter about how she wants to be a boy. We still don't know what to believe, but time will tell. Gender identity aside, she is just turning into a complete ass and can't remember to do anything on her own, yet talks all high and mighty when it suits HER. I am taking Sally's advice on here and backing way off, watching the circus unfold. Yes, it's time that our DH's step up. This is ridiculous for us to handle all on our own, watching our houses go to shit, etc.
I'm glad your guy is in your corner more now.

Well, whip is still cracking!
Well, whip is still cracking! DH didn't buy that she actually ate before band practice, and if she did...that was at least at 4 pm an she spent 3 hours on the field after that. He made her eat again...a whole two chicken tenders that she didn't finish at lunch yesterday. It isn't like he made her eat a full meal...just a snack for most people...but SheSloth threw a fit! He told her he didn't care if she "wasn't hungry"...she was eating because she never eats enough! Woot...go DH! He keeps this up, may have to make him a steak on Saturday!
