Oh SD16! You certainly know how to make your dad proud!

Last week DH called BM after not hearing from SD16 for almost a week. She had her phone taken away from her due to not turning in her school work. AGAIN. Two freakin weeks left in school and she still is pulling this shit. Sd16 was walking her dogs when DH called so BM said she would have her call him back.

When she called back, DH put her on speakerphone and asked why she is still doing this. SD16 sighed loudly and said, 'Dad, I already got shit from mom over this. I don't need your crap too.' Our mouths dropped open and DH looked at me with a 'did she really just say that' look on his face. I simply got up and left the room.

For the next hour, they argued, screamed, cried, yelled some more. DH about broken promises, making her life harder than it has to be, what are you going to do when you are done school next year? blah, blah, blah. SD16 is all about the 'constant yelling' from both her parents, she thinks school is stupid, poor me, poor me, poor me. I've hear this conversation a hundred times over the last 2 years.

Just when I think the call is winding down, I come back in the room. DH tells her (again) that she needs to listen to him. Her response?

"My mom doesn't give a fuck about what you think, so why should I?"

And there you have it folks...what I've been telling DH for 4 years has finally fallen out of her own mouth. The child who has a 21 year old bf, failing in school, no job, no ambition finally pushed DH over the edge. I've seen DH mad at her before, but this was a whole new level of rage. Told her she was awfully brave to say those things on the phone an hour away and that if she ever talked that way to him again he would put his foot in her ass.

So...she is expected here this weekend. I am wondering if she is ever going to come. DH has a history of being upset with her, then never following through on what he says he's going to do. But as of last night he has said she is in for a rude awakening this weekend.

No cell phone, computer, or tablet.
No TV.
She will do homework..and if she doesn't have any, DH will assign some to her.
Since it's father's day, he now wants her to help with the yard work (which she detests)
No talking about her boyfriend, Chester the Molester

And the best part? DH actually is encouraging me to get out of the house this weekend. Usually he insists I stay around for 'family time'. No problem! She's all yours!

I think this is the first time I've ever said this...I'm looking forward to SKID weekend!!
