Trying flirting on for size!

[ACJ]

Thanks BND. My D18 showed signs of huge disrespect before any of this happened. She actually got a lot better once H left. Maybe she could sense things that we couldn't see b/c we were too close to the situation. Who knows?

D13 is not staying here again tonight. When I came home she had the same two boys here again. My freezer door was wide open and there was bits of bread everywhere. I had no choice but to reprimand her over this. Then I heard her say 'don't throw that at my bedroom wall' so I went upstairs to find out what was going on. They were using a flannel to wipe the make up from yesterday off the mirror but the boys were then just throwing it at her bedroom wall. I made no bones about my discontent. I told them this was my home and that they should show some respect. I told them it wasn't a playground or a doss house and never would be. They looked very sheepish and muttered sorry but I don't think for one minute they meant it. They all left pretty soon after.

I then went back upstairs to survey the 'damage' for myself. At this point I realised that they had taken some of S16s things from his room and brought them down and strewn them all over D13s bedroom floor. So I ended up texting him about it as I didn't want him to think at some point in the future that I had allowed them to run amuck with his things. I did try ringing but he didn't answer and then sent me a message saying he was ice skating (clearly D13 didn't go again tonight).

Not long after this D13 came back (her 'friends' waited outside) and promptly announced 'I'm staying at Dad's again tonight'. She flounced out and then I heard her talking to someone outside so I looked out the window to see if it was H. It turned out it was S16. He came in to see me. He said he had been questioning the boys about what had happened and they had admitted to doing some of the things I have described. He asked me how I was and I told him I was upset by D13s behaviour and that H was not backing me like I had him when S16 was himself acting up.

He tried asking D13 about it all but she just gave him the same lippy comments as she had given me and flounced out again. He said he would have a word with her as it wasn't fair that she was trashing the house. I told him that it was not his job to do that I only wanted to make him aware that his possessions were being messed about with. However I also made it clear that I was grateful that he was prepared to help.

S16s friend who is older and has his own car was sat outside waiting for them to take them back to Hs so neither of them could stay any longer. So I gave S16 a big hug (I haven't seen him for 6 weeks), told him I loved him and he left. I doubt I will see him again in a hurry if past experience is anything to go by but who knows.

I've been checking on the internet the info that L gave me. Don't want to go into any details just in case but I'm a little happier about my house now.
