I works as an appeals officer for the local council. Spend a lot of my time in court as well as the office.
 
Sorry haven't had much chance to update food. Things are pretty stressful with my stepdaughter at the moment. Been on track and within points and will try and update food tomorrow

Hope things get easier soon, I can reate to the stressful stepdaughter......mines now 23 and in a much better place but the 13-20 years were extremely trying, I do sometimes wonder how me and hubbie ever got through the 13-16 period!
If you ever need to chat I'm here, not a lot I haven't been through trust me ((hugs)) xx

Thanks Loopeyloo. It's hard as I'm her step mum and can see both sides and feel like piggy in the middle. I just don't know what to do for the best. Everytime we say something we have to tread on egg shells at the moment or she threatens to go back to her mums. I hate coming home from work at the moment for the next war!!!

We've been there, my hubbie brought up his girls and stepson when his ex wife walked out when his youngest was 2. When the girls reached their teens it was really hard for him. The eldest left home at 17 ( after she was found stealing from him )
The youngest was still at home when I met him, she was then 13, I got on so well with her and like you piggy in the middle. It went from bad to worse to a point when she moved back to her mums but still problems from there - I think back and think how the hell did we get though it all. At one point we had police, social services, hospital etc all involved! I've never known anger and such spiteful words thrown at my hubbie, he was such a great dad.

Now 8 years on they are so sorry for their actions as they now have kids of their own and can see he was only doing what was right for them.

It does come to a point that you have to stand up for what is right as she'll forever play the "I'll move out card" ....not an easy one I know xx

It's a very trying time and other something we didn't do wrong. I actually don't want to go home tonight incase it happens again.

Thank daisy. It's just a very trying time at the moment. I have just had enough

Sounds quite bad if you feel like you don't want to go home,sorry to hear its that bad,I hope it gets sorted out soon!
 
This is a typical example. I have spent all morning trying to play peacekeeper. I have been shouted at by both parties....I then get a compromise. Ask them both to try and have an argument free hour and my sd basically says no. I just can't do it anymore. I have had it.
 
It's just terrible. Hopefully it will get better.

Anyway good updates - its not been very good I'm afraid

Yesterday

B - shreddies and milk - 5pp
L - chicken salad and chilli mayo - 5pp
D - kebab, wrap and salad

Snacks - Ww crisps - 2pp, mini roll - 2pp, ginger cookies - 2pp and Ww chocolate bar - 2pp

Total 26/29pp - had intended on Ice cream after dinner but we left out house at 6pm due to the rows and didn't get home until after 9 so didn't really want anything else.

Today

Haven't been hungry but picked thoughout the day.

B - shreddies and milk - 5pp
L - fruit salad
D - will be chicken stir fry - 5pp

Snacks - monster munch - 3pp, fudge - 3pp, mini roll - 2pp and ginger cookies - 2pp. Have a chocolate and vanilla biscuit with me too - 2pp

22/29pp - 7pp left so if I'm not still stressed will have a feast after dinner.

Hoping WW3 stays away tonight as I have an awful and busy day at court tomorrow - but I have decided I'm treating myself to a subway :)
 
Enjoy the subway! Can imagine how hard it must be for you, though, in a way, you've made me realise just how much of a hard time I give my Mum's fiancé with all of the "you're not my Dad!" lark and I've been trying to be a bit more understanding of how difficult it must be to walk into a house with your 8 year old son which has 2 teenage girls in it! I hope that everything goes okay tonight and tomorrow *hugs* xx
 
Thanks guys. I'm guessing it's not going to be a good night. I hope I'm wrong.

Being a step parent certainly has its challenges but then I guess being a parent does too but on the whole I wouldn't change it. I learn everyday from it :)
 
I agree daisy. Well good job I had points left - came home I cook dinner and the chicken had gone off. Nothing else defrosted so an impromptu dinner of sole goujons, new potatoes and peas for 12pp
