Okay need to vent for a second then I am going to drown in a hot bath.... note to those with children...don't have any, take a sledge hammer to your biological clock and beat the hell out of it!
Cheyenne got in trouble with Dad this morning and was "very sad", then I did the unthinkable act of trying to go to the grocery store for her milk and asking her to scoop Jo's stall for me while I am out trying to drive through this snow and ice. While sliding around town I get a text message from her saying "Mom, I just don't want to be here anymore"...so I pull over text back to try to find out what is wrong and nothing, so I turn around and go home where she says "she wants to live with me and DH but she hates Kentucky and does not want to be here anymore"...so I start questioning her and it comes down to the fact she does not think she should have chores or really any requests placed on her other than her schoolwork and etc...
So I grab the cell phone and say "Call your father" she says she does not want to call him and I respond with..."Oh I really insist you do because living with him is your only other option" she says she does not want to live with him but she does not want to be here either and she does not know what to do but a friend of hers from Oregon has offered to let her live there...the friend, not the friend's parents of course....so I dialed her father and said "Cheyenne needs to talk to you" and handed her the phone where she got all sad and whipped puppy sounding and asks him to come get her!
So fast forward to he and I talking....I told him he could come get her as soon as he has a home of his own (not living with 2 single guys in one house), can hold down a job for 6 months (in a row) and when he coughs up the 21,000.00 he owes in back child support,. Then I proceeded to tell him what Cheyenne thinks of him and says constantly and why she will not talk to him on the phone etc etc...and he was floored. So, I said "Look...you are the scapegoat for a teenage temper tantrum and until she is 18 years old she will have chores and she will do them or she will get my size 7.5 boot up her butt every day until she turns 18 but I refuse to put up with her tantrums and drama, I refuse to have you try to play superdad to fix it and I refuse to let you take her and ruin her life so that she ends up just like you! I would rather toss your butt in jail for child support obligations so don't piss me off!" He said "okay okay calm down I will call her tomorrow and talk to her but don't get nasty and be a (bleep)...I said "Richard I was not nasty or a (bleep)...I was direct and to the point...this is nasty - (bleep)!" and I hung up then I tore into Cheyenne! When I was done tongue lashing her, she and DH were sitting there with their mouths hanging open....as I laid out the new house schedule.
No more sleeping in till 9 or 10 am and then getting around to doing school work then slinking off to our bedroom to play video games because the TV and game systems are coming out of her room.
She will get up at 6am (she did it every day for school) and she has until 7am to be out of that room and in the diningroom ready for breakfast, she will have her chores, she will do them and do them correctly or get a boot in the arse until it is done correctly, she will do the schoolwork she is assigned to do each day and practice her sax for an hour per day and her butt will be in bed with lights out before 10 pm EVERY night.
If she crosses me and screws it up...her butt is mine as are most of the nice things in her room.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS TEENAGE HORMONAL DRAMA QUEEN CRAP...IT ENDS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Because frankly I could care less if she wants to live in Kentucky or Bulgaria at this point.
K off to my bath now
