SD13 is pushing me and I'm not taking it!
I haven't even been home an hour and as usual, my Weekend of Joy has started once again. SD13 can't do anything. ANYTHING! We have a huge chore list for the entire household but it doesn't work if you don't LOOK at it. If Mother Nature is become more regular in her monthly visits, well my time is now, and little SD13.....Her third time ever is in a few days, if you get my drift.
I get home and the trash can is in the driveway. She pulled it up to the house but didn't put it in the garage. I bet she "forgot." This morning she had shorts on, looked like she was in her pyjamas, and I made small talk, said it was going to be chilly today. "Oh I'll put jeans on." I also told her to do all of her chores that she skipped Thursday because of her massive 45-minute study period, to get them done Friday afternoon along with the regular Friday stuff.
I asked her where SDog was as I was feeding the dogs because he needed medication. I turned around when I didn't hear anything and said, "Where?" She wouldn't look at me and immediately had an attitude, but helped herself to sit at the kitchen table. I told her to lose the attitude. I'm sick and tired of EVERY MOTHER FUCKING weekend being full of drama because of her. So you know what? I did something I haven't done in awhile because I didn't want her around me. I had been home 15 minutes and sent her to her damn room! She looked at me in disbelief, stammered that she was only getting a drink of water and I told her that the water would still work in her room. Go. Now. I knew she understood me because she slammed her door shut. Turning into SD19 for sure....
Not two minutes later she comes down the stairs and into the kitchen! I asked her if she understood English? I said she didn't just get to some downstairs when I've sent her to her room. Well, she could've burned a damn hole through me with that stare, but you know what? She is a fucking sinkhole with the look I gave her. Don't mess with me the MINUTE my weekend is starting! She exclaimed she KNEW she was sent to her room but she didn't know why? ME: Because I said so! SD: But I didn't do anything! I told ehr I came home to her sitting on her butt and doing zero chores. Then I realized I was explaining myself to her. I said that I was sick of parenting her and unfortunately DH works long hours, so go to room and stay there until DH gets home. STAY THERE. Two words. Stay there.
She went upstairs and DH called to say he would be home in a few hours. I had only texted him that Mother Nature was landing and he told us to play nice. He doesn't need to know I sent her to her room. He can find out when he gets home. I don't need that damn attitude in my kitchen!

Oh and she was in her shorts
Oh and she was in her shorts when I got home and tried to explain that she had changed out of her jeans. I just looked at her with a big smile and said, "Riiiiiiiight!" She grabbed her things and huffed up to her room. She didn't scoop the yard and she didin't start her laundry as usual. Now she just went into her bathroom. She had better go the fuck back into her room. I don't like being strict, but being nice to this Skid has only made me look like a fool and gotten me nowhere!
That's where I feel
That's where I feel fortunate. Lazy SheSloth hibernates in her room about 99% of the time! I'd rather her be in there...don't have to see her.
And she gets way more attitude during "that time". No excuse!
DH tried to tell us both to
DH tried to tell us both to knock it off when he got home. I later told him not to treat me like a child and put me in the same category as his DD. SD13 was eating at the kitchen table and things had calmed down some. Then she went into the bathroom and started crying. When she came out I told her that her monthly friend was on the way. She started talking crap to me in front of her father. She said she wanted to move out, so DH said he could call crazy Gma from BM's side of the family. She still isn't getting her iPod Touch back until DH sees the do-over test grade from history next week. DH even asked me how long she had been without it. Only 12 days DH, with more Fs every other day. I didnt mention the other assignments that were due today. They will surface next week. I'm learning to watch and grin, just like TGIHB. DH apologized to me later and I asked him how he thought I felt, just being a shit SP? I told him I wish I didn't care.....I'm getting there.
Quickly.

DH gave the iPod Touch back
DH gave the iPod Touch back last night. I knew he would cave. He said he had a talk with SD13 and she was crying. He wanted to make sure she wasn't getting bullied at school because of her wanting to be a boy. She has really isolated herself with weird teen behavior. She is just socially awkward, where she used to be funny, cracking jokes. It just isn't working for her and she has even said that about being at school. I just have to accept that SD13 will keep getting things from DH and not losing any privileges even though she screws up. I have to be quiet and wait. I need to really try harder to totally disengage. The Skid just got new Fs on Weds and Friday night she gets her phone back? I know she's going to ask DH for that stupid wig again today because we live at DisneyDad World. DH still thinks I ordered it for Halloween, but it's only the 4th? Why rush? }:) More bad grades will follow. Now she wants to do her laundry today on MY time (again) because she didn't do it on Friday, her day. DH said "Sure!" Um, NO.
Maybe I should skip DH's laundry this week, or just start mine and tell SD13 that the washer isn't available yet.....Sounds good.

Thing is, SD13 was just a
Thing is, SD13 was just a moody bitch last Friday and she doesn't understand where it's coming from. Her monthly visitor has only landed 2x, last May and this past September.....Any minute now..... }:) I just think it's funny because she is hormonal and has no control over herself. She also showered Friday night, after taking a shower Thursday night, something she never does. Why shower when you don't have school the next day?
I did laundry all weekend long. DH and I cleaned our bedroom top to bottom, changed sheets, washed blankets, brought in new furniture. So the washing machine was taken up all day Saturday. Sunday is my regular clothes washing day, so I had the machine all day yesterday.
No mention of the wig and no mention of the "monthly friend" but this should be an interesting week, academically and otherwise..... }:) }:) }:)
