Well it appears SO has regressed back into his guilty daddy ways...ugh!  Recently my SO lost his license for 60 days (excessive speeding/wreckless op).  Anyways, obviously I was already super pissed about that and him being irresponsible.  We couldn't afford an atty so we just had to deal with the consequences.  Of course it is more of a punishment to me.  The courts granted him driving priveleges to work but not to pick up SD.  BM is being surprisingly understanding about it and working with us on his time with SD.  SD is currently in cheer anyways so most evenings she has practice in BMs town 30 mins from ours.  We are just getting her on the weekends and if she doesn't have practice.  SO gets his license back on 11/20 so we're about 1/2 through this. 

The last weekend we had SD was freaking awful.  She was full blown attention seeking and needy and all over SO the entire time and SO regressed back to guilty daddy ways because he feels bad about the situation so he didn't call her out on anything.  I had to just disengage because if I said anything it wouldn't have come out nicely but it was rather disgusting to watch.

Last night was her last cheer game (until next weekend for playoffs).  It was BM's weekend but we went to the game because it was parent night.  Surprisingly BM even had me walk out with them this time (weird)....anyways we left the game at 1/2 time because it was freezing and raining and we had our 4yo with us.  After we left BM texted SO letting him know that SD was so sad that we left at 1/2 time (she told us she didn't care) and kept coming up to her crying about how she misses SO and this has been so hard on SD....really!?!? SD is a really good manipulator if you ask me because she has no problem cancelling/giving up daddy time to go stay at a friend's house or do something she wants to do.  Every weekend she is at our house she tries to stay at least 1 night at the neighbor girls house...but now she is missing SO!?!? 

During the time that we were there to watch her she was overly annoying to watch (IMO).  I would have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarassed if she was my kid but of course BM and SO think she's so cute and funny!  Barf!  She was the only cheerleader with her hoodie up and then she took the string and tied it behind her head and looked completely ridiculous.  She was not enthusiastic and was (again IMO) 1/2 a$$ing her cheers trying to be cutsie.  After every cheer she would do a kick and act like she hurt herself or pulled something.  She would leave their cheer area to come over to BM or SO like every 5 minutes.  It was like watching a clown in the middle of the rest of the cheerleaders!
