BM scheduling activities on DH time

Dogmom1321's picture

BM reached out to DH before Christmas and asked what he was getting SD13. He told BM mostly expensive sneakers and clothes. Well, BM decided to get SD13 a guitar and asked DH if he wanted to get her lessons. AT THE TIME, his response was she could watch YouTube videos to get a hang of it first, then maybe look into it. 

Well here we are not even a month later and BM is scheduling lessons on DH time expecting him to take her. BM chose the place and time too of course. Across town at 5:00 for an hour. So long to dinner on Thursday nights I guess. 

SD13 vaping/smoking

I've had my suspicions for a while now, but I can 100% say SD is vaping/smoking. 
 

- she sneaks candle lighters in her room

- says she needs incense to burn 

- her BFF got written up at school for smoking in the bathroom 

- said BFF was "hanging out" in SDs room today and when they left I noticed her bedroom window was open (it's 30 degrees outside in the middle of winter) 

Resolutions

Any New Years resolutions (step related or otherwise) anyone would like to share?

Mine: To completely ignore BM.

I've been disengaged from SD13 for a while and had little to zero interaction with BM the last couple of years. She recently "announced" a new pregnancy and I found myself curious/puzzled about BMs situation when SD has brought it up. 

HCMB Pregnancy Announcement

SD13 told DH a while ago that BM was pregnant. BM made her "announcement" on FB and SD said it was a boy due around May/June I think. 

This will be BMs THIRD baby daddy (not married either). She has a 19 y/o son. SD13 (with DH). And now a baby boy on the way with a different Dad. 

BM has claimed in the past that she want to move back to her home state. And do more travel nursing to "see the world." Well guess that won't be happening anytime soon. Bady Daddy also has his own kid he shares custody of. 

Two Faced SD13

SD13 is so two faced! She has always been manipulative and it has just gotten worse as she has gotten older. And I must admit, I almost fall for it sometimes. 

Over dinner last night, SD13 proceeds to bring up BM and says how she can't stand her. She gets on her nerves. Doesn't want to live with her etc. I totally ignore the comments. DH sometimes plays into it but last night he didn't respond with anything either, just moved the conversation on. 

Teen SD Expenses?

Okay, so those of you that have a Teen SD... how do your DHs handle their expenses? SD13 has gotten out of hand lately with all of the requests for DH to buy her things. 

1. Haircut (totally understand) but with highlights and lowlights at a popular salon

2. Movie money

3. Halloween costume 

4. Sneakers

Skincare tools in freezer? Ew.

I'm getting ready to make dinner.. open the freezer to find SD13 skin/facial tools in the freezer. One of those face roller things. Well I'm getting stuff out and it falls down onto another shelf. I just left it there. 
 

SD comes downstairs and starts rummaging through the freezer. Told her the skincare fell and on a different shelf. She seemed annoyed that her personal items, that were put in a common place, had moved. 
 

DH Throwing SD13 the biggest Pity Party

DH is back to being delusional when it comes to SD13. She has been at our house this week (not a scheduled visit, whole other story). Well, DH is working full time and I'm taking care of our DS2.

Anyway, SD13 has been here 6 days. Literally every. single. day. she stays up all hours of the night on her phone and sleeps ALL day. Secluding herself in her room only to make an appearance in the kitchen for junk food. 

SD13 wasting food

My parents came in town last Friday to babysit DS2 while DH and I went to a concert. I ordered my parents Chipotle to be delivered so they would not have to worry about making dinner and also a thank you for babysitting. SD13 was also at our house so I asked her if she wanted me to order her dinner too. I typically would not order her food too, but would have felt bad if I didn't.

SD13 is perfect

I'm totally disengaged and don't even mention SDs name anymore. Even if there is an issue I totally ignore it and avoid bringing her up to DH at all costs. Things have been great since! DH and I haven't argued. 

DH brought up SD13 in conversation the other day while we were on the phone. Apparently, BM made SD a hair appointment for a keratin treatment on Saturday. 

DH: SD13 just called me and she's bawling her eyes out!

Me: Why?

DH: SD was at the hair salon and she said BM started yelling at her! *Gasp*
