My husband and I have been trying to discuss our step daughter's wishes with her mother... to no avail. She has decided it best to stick her head in the sand and ignore the whole thing in hopes that it will all just go away. Really?
I am so incredibly frustrated with this situation it physically pains me. I just don't understand how people can go through life dealing with things by NOT dealing with them. It really makes no sense to me.
It's not what she wants. I get that. It doesn't change the fact that it's what Nadia wants. And really, I could see trying to prevent it if my husband and I were abusive, cracked-out, alcoholics... but, we're not. Sorry to dissapoint.
We're pretty normal people. My husband works hard to bring home the bacon and I fry it up in the pan. I stay home taking care of the house and the children so that all my husband has to worry about is working. My kids know that they are loved. Just ask them. Go ahead.
We have rules here... lots of them! Like, chores before playtime... homework before chores... we even limit the amount of time they spend in front of electronics so as not to permanently fry their brains. See? We're smart.
In all seriousness... I get why she wouldn't want her daughter to live apart from her. But, she's not going to live with Jeffrey Dahmer... she wants to live with her father, her stepmom, and her two sisters. She has some pretty good reasons for wanting to live with us if she would just listen to her! But, no.
Instead, she chooses to have hurt feelings, to harbor anger toward all of us... including her daughter, and not discuss it in the hopes that it will all go away.
Do you smell that? *sniff sniff* Smells like court to me!
