Teaching Entitlement--Little Things Mean A Lot
On today's "Entitlement" theme:
I'm a big believer in consistency and not sending mixed messages, subtle as they may be, to children in the formative years. I pondered over a phenomenon that seems to be quite widespread over the last ten years or so. That is to hold up traffic for miles while personally escorting your children onto the bus/taking home movies of the event, etc at the bus stop.

Almost Wet My Pants Laughing!!
The "Snuffleupagus" aka CP stepdad to the three peccories, posted in his FB wall "the most wonderful tiiiiiiiiime of the year!!"
Referring to the fact that the oversized, High F getting underachievers are back in school!!
I was wondering how long it would be before the seemingly long suffering Snuffleupagus would express this sentiment.
I'm sure the BEHEMOTH wasn't happy about this particular post!!

Question For All You CP StepDADs
I've noticed a steady stream of what appears to be disgruntled CP StepDADS on this board.
Seems they are finding out that their DW or CP BioMOM does not discipline within reason/provide boundaries and structure for her biokids.
That she's a total "free ranger."
Have any of you stepDADS asked yourself if this is why the BM and biodad broke up in the first place?

For Those New To StepMom World
Here are some warning signs that are indicative of trouble ahead:
1. Does your man allow co-sleeping with his children? (aka the kiddies routinely jump into bed with him at night)
2. Does he have to lie down with them to get them to sleep?
3. Do the children seem somehow "stunted" socially? Do they have poor hygiene habis, eating habits, bedtime habits?
4. Does your man subscribe to the "one big happy family" model? (expects you to love his children as much as or more than him)
5. Does your man have the "inability" to say no to his children?

Did Anyone See Dr. Phil Today?
I"m not a big fan of Dr. Phil by ANY means but today, while I was doing the eliptical, I had a whim to turn it on.
MIRACLE O. M. G!!
Dr. Phil was ACTUALLY DRESSING DOWN A PASINATOR BM for trying to turn the children against biodad and his wife!!
And SM said "it really picked up when I became pregnant!"
No kidding! Here we go again. . . BM creating loyalty conflicts.
Now the biodad did make some mistakes, but it seemed to be in response to the BM's PAS.
The constant calling when skids were at biodad and SM's by the BM.

Instant Gratification/Pacification Model: CONFIRMED!
GG has received several pieces of mail, in particular from VD's (SD stb 13) school.
He'll leave them out for ages; I usually wait a week or so then file them. I have to be very "in tune" with GG as if I file it too soon and he has a "bone to pick with me" he'll assume I threw it out.
Well VD's report card has been hanging out for several weeks now; he's probably thinking he'll get another call from the County Counselor for a possible 4th attempt to "reunite" with VD. I have my doubts. He'll be stupid if he does (she's stood him up thrice now) But I digress.

Spin Off on Caviar Dreams
The Ant and the Grasshopper (old version and modern day version)
The ANT
AND THE
GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different .....
Two Different Versions ....
Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION
The ant works
hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper
thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.

I Proclaim July 27th World Wide Guilty Daddy Awareness Day
Or G.D.A.D. for short
Geee Dad, why are you spoiling your previously enjoyed family?
Geee Dad, why are you letting your previously enjoyed family wreak havoc in our family?
Geee Dad, why are you letting the BM call the shots in our home?
Geee Dad, why are you kissing your spawn's nether quarters?
Geee Dad, why don't you provide boundaries and structure for your crotch droppings?
Ladies, if a man with children comes a knockin' at your door, SEND HIM PACKING!!
