Confession Time!
I have been a SM for 18 years. At times, I thought I was going to lose my mind. But I found my way to handle the stress.

My SD’s were/are spoiled and unappreciative. The real issues started when they hit middle school. Disrespectful, condescending, down right rude. My husband never wanting to upset the princess didn’t back me up. So what is a SM to do?

Lets start with dinner, know matter what I served, they complained. So, I just cooked what I liked, fish, vegs, etc. You get the idea. Well of course the girls don’t like that stuff. So dinner would be served, they would complain. So one day, I got up from the table grab the bread and PB and say make your own dinner! That single moment changed my attitude and prospective. I did have control. I didn’t have to take their attitudes lying down.

My husband wasn’t supporting me. I was not going lose my sanity.

So here is where the confession comes in. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Like picking up after them, left their cloths/shoes/books all over the house. When asked to put them away, rolling of the eyes, etc. So I would hide them. Sorry can’t find your fav shoes, what book no idea, where did you leave it? So after a time, my husband just got tired of hearing them complain about their lost or misplace stuff. So ready for it? Well if you would have put your stuff away like SM said you would no where it is. Yep! LOL

Confession 2, I didn’t stop there. My SD’s are so into designer labels that I want to gag! So since middle school, and since I buy the bDay or Xmas gifts. I go to Walmart/Ross/TJM/BCF, since I know they will hate it no matter what I get. I keep it under $30 each. Wait for a few weeks after said event. Then return it for refund. In all these years, they have never ever missed or said anything about their missing gifts. My husband is clueless about this, he just thinks I’m great for buying the gifts because he hates to shop.

Confession 3. I stopped doing laundry. I do mine. My daughter does hers. The fireworks from this one were huge. But I explained to my husband that until I’m shown on a consistent bases respect, I’m not their molly maid.

Confession 4. The spy. I installed spyware on their computers. I know every site they visit, every password. I can access there systems from mine at anytime. I know when they are lying to my husband on where they are going and with whom. So for example SD was 14, said she was spending the night at a friend. I knew she was going to a hotel party. (Now if I had just told my husband, I would be the bad guy. Kill the messenger). So this hotel has a lovely restaurant. So we went there for dinner. OMG look who it is, why would she be here. ??? LOL

Confession 5. When oldest SD was 16. She kind of caught on, She’s not stupid. So she confronts me. I say yep. She looks at me shock on her face; I lean in and very quietly say. You’re a little b, but I’m the B Queen. And since that time, she is now 22. She gets that I’m not going to just take it. Not going to wait for my husband to check in, get a clue. She kind of fun to be around. Still think she's spoiled, she knows she is. We just laugh. We both agree that her dad is clueless.
