So, the other night, we made a nice little meal of steak and lobster that I had purchased for us to eat as a family. Husband cooked but I bought. Supposedly SD15 was to do the dishes, which she did. But dishes to me inlcude pots and pans and all the other stuff used to prepare the meal...but Husband told me he told her he would do them. I asked why. Because shes "not ready" he replies. Well, this 15.5 year old will soon be old enough to take a driving permit test and to start driving, but shes not capable of washing pans. I kept my beak shut.

Many of you have reccomended that I not contact SD22 Feral Forger in response to her last nasty text where she called me names and made accustations that I traumatised her and took her father away. Ive blocked her. Not responded.

Many of those recs also encouraged me to Vent-e here. Starbucks lovers might be chuckling. SO at the end of this post Ill do my Vent-e -ing. I might even respond afterwards. IDK.

Small thing, BIG FIGHT

Ok, so let me start with a question - what should I do next?

1. Disengage. Leave it alone, do my own thing, and just dont talk about it.

2. Approach it sideways, turn off internet and turn off the phone line. Text only. Dont say anything.

3. Approach it directly, with both of them in the room at the same time.

To respond to Feral Forgers rants...or just not

Friends, I am so torn. At first when it was just me on the recieving end, I was torn but ended up simply not responding.

Firstly, the rant from SD22 Feral Forger:

She keeps texting nasty texts and they are all pretty much the same.

 "You took away my father as soon as you arrived, he hasnt been my father since me, he is just the sperm donor now."

"you have traumatized me by yelling at me when I was in my room."

Hi all,

Well, Dh has another 3-day fishing trip, and Im actually looking forward to missing him if that makes sense. 

And its Toxic Troll's week with SD15. And Im not doing any school transport. Dh has organized a friend and his sister who lives near to the school as help in transport because TT is now working, but really odd hours and cannot do it herself without DH's help.

DH now wants help and other funny very short stories

HA, Im working towards a theme here folks. What it is exactly I have no idea, but another short story:

I had sent DH a little screen shot of a letter from a teacher - SD's Chemistry teacher. You see this week is parent-teacher conference, SD15 is interested in a science-based career and shes gotten a progress report in the class stating shes got a B but "she can do better".

SO when I saw this on the PR, I briefly mentioned the comment and let it go. Forgot all about it.

Sd15.5...or Feral Forger 2.0?

I thought my fellow steptalkers would get a kick out of this short story:

We only go into SD15's room to feed the Dragon when its her week with Toxic Troll.

Shes typically, since Ive known her the past 8 years, been a neat and tidy kiddo, who enjoys a space thats attractive.

DH and I went in this weekend to feed Dragon.

Clothes (dirty? clean? who knows who cares!) were covering the floor. I joked "must be that new carpet I didnt choose"...

Dh exclaims "I told her to take care of this last weekend she was with us!!!!"
