SO is down on himself about SD again

attempting_to_maintain_composure's picture

He's mad at himself for not texting or calling SD yesterday to wish her a Happy Thanksgiving. He said he forgot and it is very obvious that he's upset over all of this. Best I could do was tell him that, at almost 13 years of age, SD is more than capable of taking five seconds out of her day to text SO to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving, too. Especially since she spent half of her time here over the summer texting with GUBM's boyfriend. He's deserved of contact at times when it doesn't directly benefit her. So, if he's "wrong" for forgetting then so is she. That's all there is to it.

Kay Jewelers Open Heart Commercial *GAG*

Has anyone seen this commercial?? I just saw it for the first time and think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

This guy is on a swing set with a little girl, asks her if she knows how happy he is to be marrying her mom, tells her how he knows it hasn't always been easy for her, but that he's happy she's in his life, too.

Then, he hands her a Kay Jewelers box with an open heart necklace in it and "It's just like your's mom!"

*GAG*

I'm sick of the contempt between SO and GUBM

At this point, I don't care how much GUBM hates SO, or how 'forgetful' SD is about getting in touch with SO either. One of them should have, at some point in the past four days, responded to SO about what's going on.

They both live in NJ in Atlantic County, in an area that was forced to evacuate because of the hurricane. And, naturally, SO is concerned about their plans and what they're going to do, though only for SD's sake because he could really give a damn about what GUBM were to do if SD weren't with her.

Been a long time since I've posted. Nothing has gotten better.

I've mostly been hiding from and ignoring all the issues that came up while SD visited this past summer. SO and I didn't talk about them for a while and largely just pretended like it didn't happen until the middle of last month. School made it easy to ignore for a while.

Going out with a bang

I woke up this morning and SD was making herself breakfast in the kitchen. I was relaxing on the couch, checking through my emails from overnight when the smoke detector started going off.

I go into the kitchen as SD is coming out and she asks "What's that noise????" Seriously, SD??? That's the smoke detector! I grab a pillow and start fanning the gobs of smoke that have filled my kitchen away from the detector.

The best count down has begun!!!

After tomorrow at 9:30PM, if not earlier, I won't see SD for a long time! Probably not until Christmas at least because she and GUBM suck at getting info to SO about long school breaks - and SO isn't very proactive about it, so HUZZAH!

I'm super stoked that her visit is FINALLY ending and that she's FINALLY going back to the loser compound in Scumbagland.

Not sure how to help SO with this one...he said he can't wait for SD to go home

So. I'm not sure what to do about my SO. He's a bit distraught because he is fed up and frustrated with the way the visit is going on SD's part.

He told me last night that he can't wait for this weekend to be over so that the visit will be over but he feels just awful for saying or thinking that way.

Even being seven hours away from home doesn't shield me from SD's crap

This is going to be relatively quick because I am on my phone.

I took a vacation this past week to go visit a friend in Michigan. Conveniently, her bday coincided with SD's visit so I naturally jumped at the chance to get away even before I knew how miserable SD was to be around.

I am glad I only have to put up with SD for five more days after I get home tomorrow night, but, I am finding myself wishing that SD was leaving today and not next Monday.

Quick Update on The SD Troll

attempting_to_maintain_composure's picture

SO had a nice long talk with SD on Sunday. They were gone for almost four hours when all was said and done. And, the majority of the time was spent engaged in a conversation about how SD has royally stepped over her boundaries and how, if she has a problem with the house rules and any attempt I made to enforce them on the weekends I was alone with her, then, she has a problem with SO, not me.
