My boss gave me a bag of white chocolate peppermint M&Ms on Tuesday. I told DH I would bring them home and share with him and DS. They are still on my desk, and half gone. Sorry not sorry.
DS asked for the last piece of pumpkin pie yesterday. I said no (he was being a twit), and then I ate it today at lunch. I'd REALLY like to say I felt even a wee bit bad, but I don't.
I love SDs and I give BM the benefit of the doubt for the most part but every once in a while they come for visitation and have some offensive ideas and say crazy shit. A few years ago they were saying weird stuff about Jewish people and i had to talk to them about it.
This Thanksgiving they said stuff about Mexicans, Muslims and used the word "retarded" in an offensive way all before bedtime on the first day here! I told them to knock it off, that what they were saying was disgusting. I got really angry that they would make fun of people with disabilities and they said they didnt know thats what it meant. Possible?
I dont think BM is saying this, i think they hear it from other asshole kids at school but JFC BM maybe do something about it? And why did I have to step in, asleep on the job DH?
I havent told anyone because I'm ashamed that I have 2 SDs that talk like this and neither parent (including my DH!) said anything to them about it. I'm disgusted.
XH will have DD for christmas eve and christmas morning. I got her a two Santa presents to unwrap when i bring her home and she will have 5 other presents from my family to open as well. Not to mention whatever XH does for her as well.
I am taking advantage of everyone elses gifting and I am waiting until after Christmas to buy some killer deals and i plan on spoiling her a little more on her birthday three weeks later.
This may be the last year i can slack off and delay Christmas but i am going to save money while i can.

My confession, I've pretty much given up on SS doing well in school. He gives no effort and couldn't careless about grades. The only time he pretends to care is when report cards come out. We constantly talk to him about school, read with him, teach him study habits, have tried 8428561 different ways to help during the week while he is at home and his grades just get worse. BM would rather have him get bad grades then let DH or myself help him, and I'm done being the bad guy. The stuff we tell him or work with him on in 4 days will never make up for the other 26.
