This will be my worst post. Why I made a new account. Will probably be deleting this app in a couple of hours so get all your comments out now. I am 100% the AH here. I know that. This is just something I gotta get off my chest. I have a step daughter she’s great known her since she was a toddler. She just turned 8, my son is 4 to set the stage. To put it blankly my daughter is dumb. I don’t say that to be mean she’s just not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Like the other day I asked her to set something on the counter and she said “what’s that?” Like 8 years on this planet and has no idea what a counter is and trust me we all have those moments just it’s every moment for her. Asked her to grab the ice cream from the freezer and she brought me frozen chicken. Asked her to tell me the time and she had no idea what a clock was. Also recently found out she doesn’t know what calendars are either. Nothings wrong with her before y’all start saying getting her tested for this or that. She’s great at fashion and make up and wants to be a singer and she will excel at all of those please don’t think I’m trying to bully her. I just don’t know what do to in this particular situation that’s been happening since my son was born and it’s growing ever more prevalent. I was raised in a household were education was top priority so I started my son very young, Iv practically home schooled this kid since he was days old. And he really grasped it and wanted more. I also find it very fascinating how much their brains absorb so fast and at so young. Now here’s where my issues lie and it’s an issue Iv kept my mouth shut on for years to preserve everyone’s feelings cuz it’s a AH issue. My step daughter teaches my son everything wrong. Has since he was a baby, taught him his colors wrong, taught him how to count wrong, taught him his alphabet wrong, animals wrong, animals sounds wrong, alphabet wrong, ect. Thrilled she wants to be a big sister and help. But I can’t tell you how much I want to put my head my head through a wall when I asks my son what time is it and at 4 he can read a digital clock and I’ll hear him in the other room go “mom it’s 3:54” and then daughter go “no it’s 3:24” and then my son go “sorry mom it’s 3:24” and for days after I gotta correct my son on the difference between 2 and 5 something we already had down. Or we’re driving home and my son can give me right and left direction from his babysitters house to ours, bout 5 blocks. And son will be like “turn left” and daughter “no that’s right.” And then I gotta reteach my son left and right cuz obviously big sister is right, I means she’s his big sister. I got a kids calendar for my son to do and he’s been doing it great for days getting up in the morning and say “it’s January 9th 2023” and changing the card from 8 to 9. We’ll daughter is at our house and she’s fully convinced my son that it’s “February 01 “tenth” 2024”

I can’t some days I just can’t and that’s all I wanted to say
