So after a ton of drama, which I keep promising to blog about but it just depresses me to really get down and do it, SD14 (well, 14 in a couple days) is living with her mom and seeing DH and I EOW instead of 50/50 like their agreement says. We still have SS10 week on/week off and she comes over the same weekend we have her brother.

I don't want any of you to be jealous

but DH and his kids, SD13 and SS10 are on vacation, without me, 1 state and 8 hours away. And I'm happy as a clam about it!

I was a little annoyed when DD18 and I were talking yesterday about maybe going somewhere together for 4-5 days before she leaves for the University and he pipes up with "I wanna go!!" That man thinks he has to be included in everything. Like a little kid.

Sitting here listening to SD13's alarm clock go off

And she left for BM's house last night. This happens every week. And every time she spends the night at a friend's house. That kid turns her alarm back on after having it off for the weekend. She's got to be doing it to intentionally annoy DD18 or to get to start having her iPhone overnight on the days she's here again. So annoying. Usually I go into her room, unplug the alarm clock, and tell DH about it (or DD does).

DH may let SD13 live with BM full time... Any advice/suggestions?

DH had SD13 and SS10 and has 50/50 week on week off custody with BM. BM has been on a PAS campaign for at least 6 months or so and it has worked wonders on SD!! She is uncooperative and defiant. Lies and steals. Tells DH she hates him as often as she can and says she hates it here and wants to live with her mom all the time at least twice a day. Basically does everything she can to show she won't follow any rules we have. He has always maintained that less than 50/50 was not an option. I don't know what's happened in the past month but SD has amped it up!

Any advice? DH is seriously considering letting SD13 live with BM full time

So glad we're on to a new week (long)

Last week sucked. DH has his kids week on/week off. Last week was the on week (ended at 5 pm yesterday).

We started kid week with SD13 taking something of DD18's and leaving it in her room. DD18 knows, at this point, if she's missing something and I don't know where it is SD13 likely had something to do with it, which is sad. So she checked SD's room and sure enough - there it was.

Holiday hell follow up

Well, as much of a follow up as it can be before anything goes down!!!

DH and I talked (again!) and have decided to take some of your wise advice. We will be going to family holiday events together or not at all. We're going to have a open house for the family either the Sunday before or after so everyone gets to see everyone but that's going to be it (as of now).

Here's the email that's going out to them. I don't know why we have to explain ourselves so often but that's what ends up happening. Let me know if it seems out of line -

Dear friends and family,

Ahhh holidays, go to hell.

I finally got around to my introduction yesterday. Not a moment too soon. After I finally got some sleep I found an email in my inbox about Christmas. Fuck. DH and I hadn't had a chance to talk about it yet and someone in his family had to go and try for the let's get everyone together for a good time. Like I posted yesterday, BM is DH's step-sister (technically) so much of their family is related. For some reason they (especially the older ones and BM) expect us to all want to do holidays together.
