So I finally decided that I was going to step back and disengage from trying to help DH be consistent with his punishments with SD(7) as well as seeing when she is being manipulative. All it does it make me mad and we fight all of the time.

Recently, before I disengaged, I kept telling DH that I don't like feeling like I have to compete with the mini wife for my position in the house. He told me he didn't even understand how "mini wife" would apply to his BD.

If you've read any of my previous blogs you'll know that my SSD(7) has been making life hell. DH and I want to put posters up on her wall in her bedroom but due to her behavior towards me and my BD(7) DH wants her to earn them. You know, if you have a good week without any issues you get a poster for you room.

Here's the question. Do I tell her what the reward is for having a good week? Or do I just surpise her at the end of the week when she's been good? I know that with typical children an incentive would work. It gives them something to work towards like a goal.

I'm in the irratated stage of PMS right now and I need to vent. Here are just a couple of things that are bothering me right now.

So last night Dh got mad at me because I was trying to talk to him about why we don't have a sex life anymore. The things that I was bringing up were the same things that we have talked about before in regards to our relationship but we never really talked about them affecting our sex life. I was trying to explain to him that it's hard for me to get in the mood after having to compete with his 7 year old BD for wife status for months not to mention everything else. We're going on three weeks now.
