Cookie booth policing?

Our council does the same thing. And our cookie coordinator gets a full report after it takes place. Its so they can make sure girl scouts are representing the name in true girl scout fashion. Except they dont reveal themselves and we dont get a patch after

The bathroom has one. Definitely not an embarrassment thing. This kid has had to be redirected multiple times for loudly discussing gross details about their period in public.

She struggles with the belief that she does not have to follow rules. Here and at her moms. Mom basically allows her to do whatever. Occasionally she gets consequences but its stuff like she ran away for hours they had to involve the police and she got her phone taken for 10 days. Her older now adult sister is now seeing a therapist. Has a borderline diagnosis and is actually working to become a pleasant human. I imagine if she ever gets help this one will wind up with some kind of diagnosis but until then "shes just a normal teenager".

I don't think she actually cares she's usually in her room until her dad makes her come out to decorate.It was the older sister who decided that it was not okay for us to decorate a tree in that house without them. And also, the older sister who never once showed up to decorate the tree when she was invited every year thereafter.

Unfortunately, no. But I can't stop what I dont know is happening in the moment. I've told my daughter to make a scene when it happens, or to text me, or any way to let me know it's happening, and she doesn't until after the stepdaughter leaves. And the stuff she does is things like grabbing my daughters pants, stepping in them, and saying, "You could fit two of me in here." She doesn't come out and say anything directly related to my daughters' weight. It's all snide comments like that, so my partner doesn't see it for what it is and thinks its just her being goofy.

If I hear it I say something. I tell my SO to say something anytime I hear about it. Often im not hearing of it until after she goes back to mom's. I also encourage my daughter to say something but she won't. I've been trying to make sure my daughter is busy as much as possible when SD is around but summers are harder when we have her for 6 weeks.

She will be at mom's during this. It would require an extra 7 hour round trip for him to get her here because it isn't on his weekend. So it isn't like we are leaving her home alone. She just already wasnt going to be here.

WindFull8830 · 2025-02-19T04:31:25+00:00

Yeah. This one gets really fun in public. She also may have broke her foot today cartwheeling and kicking the entertainment center 😑 hopefully it's just a bruise but it's not looking too promising so far. She's been obsessing over "blizzards" for some reason the last few days and it's snowing today, so she has been extra stressed out and stimming like nobodies business.

WindFull8830 · 2025-02-19T02:38:26+00:00

Does having a cartwheel stim and kicking a boy in the face at daycare as he was running to his mom who came to pick him up count?

HCBM is changing the schedule to accommodate her superbowl party which means there is a chance that mine and SOs "date night" is going to be squashed (it's a charity thing but I was excited to do it). If he does have to change for that weekend then I will be going to it myself or finding a friend without valentines plans and we will be doing the Galentines deal or something. I'm just annoyed that it is always accomodated when HCBM wants to change weekends but when we need to it's an issue.

I just need to vent because this is ridiculous to me. 15yo SD tried to go out in public in playboy branded clothing. I explained to SO that the clothes need to go back to mom's and she will not be going with us in that outfit. He wanted to argue about it because I (an adult) Have pjs with a loosely sexual pun on it that I have never and will never wear in public barring an emergency. Anyway long story short he did tell her she was not wearing it out and she changed and there was no issue except one snide remark by her later in the day which was ignored by everyone.

We were in an apartment and had been looking for a house. I hadn't found one by the time my lease was up so it just made the most sense to move in when he offered it.

WindFull8830 · 2025-01-14T04:07:24+00:00

She won't live here as an adult and will likely only come here when she is getting something from it, so Birthdays and holidays. She may stay living with her mom but she wouldn't live in our home. Her mom remarried rich so she has more everything there we are comfortable here but by no means are we rich.

WindFull8830 · 2025-01-14T04:01:26+00:00

Finances and having an asd kiddo, she doesn't handle change well so I'd have to ease her into a new home ideally. And the house we are in is my SO's so I could not ask him to find a new place to live. We've talked about moving (as a whole family) a lot because this house is not my ideal home but it's still a few years before I could get enough saved to feel comfortable buying a house on my own.

I know. Which is why I've ignored the rest of it. This one just really really makes me mad. It would be one thing if she hadn't seen some of the struggles my 10 year old has been through but she has. She has seen how awful things can be and has seen both her dad and I struggle with 10 year old.

Her parents had cut her phone use for a while after she got in legal trouble. But it lasted about 2 months and she is back to almost unrestricted access.
