Please be gentle with me - I have had the shittest week (one of my two year old cats was hit and killed by a car this week and I am devastated, they are my “babies” since some of my kids left home - I am off loading, I do care about and love my DSDs.
They come EOW and have done for 10 years.
It’s a 5 hour round trip to get them.
They sit in their bedroom on their phones all weekend and dinner time is painful and silent and it’s like pulling teeth trying to get any conversation out of them. DSD1 complains about doing any physical activity (swimming, cycling or a walk) and she texted her dad in advance to let him know that she has a sore leg and won’t be partaking in any activities, although managed to walk to the cafe and back along the seafront for breakfast yday.
Their mother is currently out of work as is her partner and they have two cats which they haven’t had neutered and they continually have kittens (some of which have died) and DSD was almost boasting that they have 9 cats atm which I found incredibly insensitive.
DSD1 can be really argumentative and rude and defiant and texts her mother whenever anything happens which she doesn’t like, who then calls DH.
It’s been pissing with rain all weekend so we have struggled to find things to do (DH did manage to play Monopoly with them yday) and they have mainly spent the whole weekend in the bedroom glued to their phones.
I just wonder what the bloody point is (I only see DH at weekends if at all and EOW I feel like I am held hostage and trapped at home.
DSD1 has also been told she is lactose intolerant by her GP and refuses to drink and milk alternatives I provide and then makes a huge palava about feeling ill after she’s had three mugs of hot chocolate with cows milk in them.
ARGH
