SD9 has supposedly officially moved in with BM's mother, while SD11 and SD4 are still with BM. The story we received from SD9 and SD11 over Christmas break was that SD9 had a fight with BM and BM told her she can't handle her anymore and shipped her off to grandma (all without DH's consent or the option of caring for his daughter himself).

I have had several conversations with DH where I rationally tell him how I feel about the SDs in an adult and clear manner and we discuss together how to remedy the situation. I try not to let me evil stepmother warts show very often. But not everyone is perfect.

The steps went back to their mother last night and we won't see them again until after the holidays. Woohoo! I'm so glad our Christmas with them is over and done with and DH and I can look forward to spending the next two weeks together.

So there we are, basking in my nice quiet and clean home. DH and I even watched a rated R movie that we've had for a while but couldn't watch while the girls were there. Of course, he is soooo sad about how quiet it is in the house without his kids running wild, but I chose to ignore that comment.

Last time I updated, DH received a call from SD9 saying she was going to go live with BM's mom next school year. He didn't have the whole story yet, but was agitated that there was apparently some sort of conversation about it that he was not involved in.
