Dear 16 year old step son,
Unf&^cking believable! You are such a little drama queen. Thank you for being such a twit, that by the time my husband gets home from work & picking you up from football, he is raging pissed and has no energy for me. Thank you for being such an irrational, flighty little GIRL & changing your mind about where you want to live every 5 minutes, based on how hard your life seems to be. And most of all, thanks for fighting us 2 nights ago over studying for chemistry, then admitting you need help, accepting it & saying how you want us to help you from now on....only to come home last night and say we suck & that living here sucks. Well you suck too!
Dear self -
You have got to stick to your guns with this spoiled little brat. Rembember last night when you told him "if we suck so much, and you've got your self under control so well & homework managed, then figure out how to get yourself too & from school. Effective Monday, I will no longer be your driver." Do not get guilted in to changing your strategy!
And, you have got to reclaim some time with your hubby. This step son drama has sucked the life out of our relationship this week.
