I know better. I have even learned this lesson the hard way once before. But what did I do? I went ahead and did nice stuff for my stepdaughter anyway. Total, complete, moronic idiot, I am.

Last weekend SD12 and BM got into a disagreement. Her mom told her, "You can stay with your dad this week if you want to."

This was the first week she was supposed to be gone the entire week as indicated in the CO where we alternate weeks during the summer. I was looking forward to it sooo much.

But SD12 was melting down and crying and being pitiful (she's good at that) and DH asked me if she could just stay here.

That's when I turned into a nutcase and said "Yes."

It has been a freaking nightmare of a week. After the friend with the Mini-Wife-Extraordinaire came over on Father's Day (see my post at http://alittlestepmamadrama.blogspot.com/2014/06/worst-case-of-mini-wife...), SD12's entire attitude changed. She has been the most manipulative little brat I have ever had the "pleasure" of dealing with.

I have fought with DH all week.

AND BM doesn't WANT her to come over to finish her week.

She is such a monster, apparently nobody wants to deal with her. Except Daddyyyy, but then she's the perfect angel in front of him.
