Short vent- I am not the maid and personal chef!
We are so lucky to be on Fall Break this week! *sarcasm*. SD is home today and tomorrow (I didn't know this until yesterday) and is in the living room on the PlayStation playing with her friend. I took my dogs on a 2 mile walk this morning and came home to have a protein shake and peanut butter toast until DH gets home. He is bringing us burgers from a place he's going for lunch.
I am in my room and hear SD13 tell her friend "I think my SM will make breakfast soon, it's almost 12 and she usually makes breakfast". Um, first of all, no I don't. Second, we have cereal and peanut butter toast if she's so hungry and she didn't even eat half of her dinner from last night. Third, DH asked her to help him make French toast and bacon 2 weeks ago so she KNOWS HOW to cook for herself and she was pissy the whole time with him and her crap attitude really frustrated him and no one enjoyed breakfast. Of course, SD never willingly helps prepare meals or offers to help clean up, either.
I just want this week to be over then after Monday, we don't see SD until the 26th or 27th! I will be working by then so hopefully won't see much of her. I am terrified that my home will fall apart when I am working 35-40+ hours a week but I will enjoy my freedom and can probably afford a maid once a month!

I hear ya!!
My YSS is here for fall break as well. And no, I did not fix him breakfast when he woke up at 11!! Nor will I make him lunch. I work at home so that is what I will be doing. YSS never complains about not being cooked for.
My MSS, however, said he hated me a few years back. He told DH it was because I never made him breakfast when he stayed over. Hahaha In reality, I never make anyone breakfast. That is a “fend for yourself” meal at my house. Plus DH shot back that although I didn’t make breakfast, I always had toast, cereal, waffles and donuts on hand for them to eat. MSS then said it wasn’t the kind of donuts he likes. DH rolled his eyes and made MSS admit he has never asked for any specific food ever so I cannot be held responsible. I didn’t care one bit he hated me. Still don’t. I never did anything to deserve it so I’m fine.
Some kids have a lot of nerve!
She's not helpless, she's
She's not helpless, she's just lazy and thinks that you are going to do something for her when she's such an ungrateful brat. Sucks to be her! Guess brunch is on her!
Another lazy skid, amzing
Another lazy skid, amzing that she actually said that to her friend tho, instead of something like " I guess my rotten SM isn't making us breakfast, doesn't she know I'm the f@king princess????!!!! "
That's pretty much the way I
That's pretty much the way I interpreted that comment anyway haha
Ohhhh a maid once a month! I
Ohhhh a maid once a month! I've been totally considering this myself. Such a nice splurge!
I hope you said, loudly,
I hope you said, loudly, "Sorry SD! You are on your own! Why don't you make your friend your famous french toast you made last weekend!" She'll grumble and get them both some cereal.
Kids are entitled.
Fall break
is actually a real break for us! Munchkin SD12 has her ENTIRE break with ToxicTroll, because its TT's 5 days on, and its her break. So this weekend is ours with Munchkin, and i plan on just staying in, because Munchkinis not as fun to do things with as she used to be. Complains mostly, or she just tells us she is bored, or what are we doing next.
I should be gratefull that she is pretty easy, relatively, but she has caught a case of the "I knows", and enjoys trashtalking people she doesnt like (like ToxicTroll and Feral Eldest).
I knew at some point ToxicTroll's parenting and DNA would eventually win out. DH sais Feral Eldest was worse at this age. Im just getting tired of a. Having to pretend to be interested in all her inane chattering, b. Her interrupting or changing conversation topics to her preferred inane topics, or more importantly any topic that revovles around her. and c. Her attitudes, pouting and shutting herself in her room when she is told no, or doesnt get her way.
Sorry you are having the "Fall Break Blues!!!"
You mean you don't make SD
You mean you don't make SD breakfast every day? I do. You sound like a terrible SM.
My take is that she wasn't
My take is that she wasn't really expecting breakfast, just declaring her false VIP status. Bragging about having a live-in cook, when in reality, she doesn't.
Lol... Tonight's conversation
Lol... Tonight's conversation with my girls (almist 13 and almost 15)
"Mom what are you making for supper"
Me: *blink blink*
"What?"
Me: it's Thursday. I did groceries. Make yourself something. You know I don't cook Thursdays"
"But I'm huuungry"
Me: so eat.
"But.."
Me: if you can read you can cook.
"But.."
Me: *walks away*
Girls fry up ground beef from the fridge...mix it with pasta and sauce...and toast bread in the oven with butter they mixed with garlic butter.
Me: was that so hard?
"....yes. You're mean. Lol"
Me: clearly. Dishes.
"No way, i cooked"
Me: gold star. Dishes. Lol *walks away*
On sundays DH makes brunch. It's not a "thing", but pretty close... And we all, myself included, sniff around and hint at whether he's doing it... So i get the near expectation...and I have to admit I get disappointed when he doesn't...but I would never get snarky about it.
Maybe she just wanted to show off for her friend? Like...my stepmom is so cool she makes brunch?
I love the way you parent. I
I love the way you parent. I'm a mean parent too!
It's not for everyone lol....
It's not for everyone lol.... When I do the same kind of stuff to ss for things he says or does, I answer the same type of way... Dh is horrified...lol...
But...dear dh... Ss gets dressed for me all on his own, yet you're stuck helping... He writes his letters for me yet can't with you... It's all in the attitude baby!
Dh HAS to coddle. I "let" him for the most part... But I don't participate in the slightest... And so reverts back to uselessly lacking independence with dh from the somewhat independent big boy when with me.
This mama don't play that I caaaaannn'ttt game.
