Thinking about reengaging?

Summer is coming, SD12 is going to want to be here, even though custody is 50-50, she'll probably be here a bit more (most likely because she has no rules or chores)... I really don't mind her being here, she's pretty responsible, usually just stays in her room all day, and DH and our kids enjoy seeing her.

SD decides she wants to be a part of the family (NOT!)

I am totally disengaged, well not 100% but as much as I can feel good about doing. I make sure SD has food and clothing, watch her after school, and occasionally if I feel like I'm in a generous mood, I'll buy her a present, and thats about it. Really she's not that bad of a kid, great grades, pretty much leaves me alone if I leave her alone...

Visiting for the holidays, and I have to deal with her crap right off the bat.

First she decided it was going to be an all out spoil-a-thon for SD. She not only bought her hundreds of dollars in gifts and gift cards, then she of course took her shopping, to the movies, out to lunch... excluding me and my kids... fine. My kiddos and I were very grateful we didn't have to participate and did something without them.

So, I have for the past 8 or so years put up with some major disrespect from SD (when I probably shouldn't have)... I've noticed that quite a bit of this revolved around my cooking dinner, she never says please/thank you, she has nothing nice to say about it, half of the time she tosses it out, and on top of it, she will go so far as to complement her mother's cooking at the table while she is eating to rub it in. So this year, I decided I would stop cooking for her, and DH cooks, or she cooks for herself.

Anxiety...

How do you deal with anxiety when skid is coming? I was tired, ready to go to bed, and SD calls DH, she's coming after all... And DH asks if I could watch her (at least I've trained him to ask first) since DH will be at work? And now I can't sleep...

I really just want to not care anymore. I can't figure why I care.
