I'm the one who has the SD12 that sprained the tiny tip of her ring finger. That was almost 2 months ago. So 2 months ago, on the day that SD's friend supposedly stepped on her poor wittle finger, we spent hours in the ER with her and she wound up with a full arm cast all the way up to her elbow! It was a finger tip. Her friend stepped on the tip of her finger! A week later, they removed the ridiculous cast and put on a finger splint. The splint would have been more than sufficient in the first place! BUT NOOOOOO..... DH wants to make sure that SD's little tippy finger heals correctly. So, the splint has been on for over 2 weeks so tonight I questioned why she still has the damn splint on. Ooooops, I offended DH! "Ohhh!" He says..."You know she's growing and we have to make sure that bone grows back the right way." WTF? It's a S.P.R.A.I.N. Nothing broke! I'm not being bias because I would never let my bios be this freaking wussy! How in the world did generations before this ever survive??!! SD has moped around the house pretending to be completely disabled for weeks/months now and quite frankly, I'm tired of it!! But, when I bring it up...it just leads to fighting with DH. OMG, I can predict SD failing to launch forevermore because everyone coddles the shit out of her! This is the same kid who got an F and a D but is "Graduating" into 7th grade while DH thinks he needs to buy her a "Graduation Gift" for 6th grade. Really?? And then DH wonders why I'm stressed and not the same person I was when I first met him. YES, DH, I was a very different person before having a full time SKID. Sorry, but I would not let either of my 2 BDs be this big of a WUSS!!
