What DH's Decided Re: SS15

GhostWhoCooksDinner's picture

For now, we've decided not to give him the option of being with BM full-time. One, we don't want to pay her CS, and a huge chunk of our income would be going to her based on DH's salary. We couldn't stomach that, knowing it's going to fund BM's electronics addiction and SF's Pabst Blue Ribbon weekends. No thanks. We'd rather deal with SS15 being in the house. Two, we don't want to give SS15 the power. He's 15. If he wants to go back to BM full time when he turns 18, that's his choice. We also don't want him to feel like DH is "giving up" on him. He's already getting an earful from BM about how DH "gave up" on exSS19. though that's an entirely different scenario.

Two and a half years. Only two and a half more years of dealing with the bedwetting, passive-aggressive bullshit, ignoring, laziness and disrespect. I stand by DH's decision. I understand his reasoning. It makes sense. But man, I'm sorry, but I can't wait to be rid of the crap this brings to our home.

I'm not sure about him not being as lost as Faux. I'm not holding out any hope. The kid's getting worse as he gets older instead of the other way around.

18 is coming...18 is coming...18 is coming....

Sure does! I posted a blog all about it. He's been to multiple doctors, and there's no medical issue. In fact, SS15 admitted it's "easier to just go than get up in the night." Totally piggish behavior.

When he wets the bed does he have to change the sheets? I hope you're not having to clean up after him?

Oh hell no! Not only does he clean up after himself, he handwashes his bedding and clothes. Handwashes. His nasty sheets aren't ruining my washer. It's amazing how, ever since we started doing this, it's gone from every night to only when he's especially pissed at us (pun totally intended)! He's pissive-aggressive.
