The Only Thing DH is Consistent About is Being Inconsistent

I am convinced my DH is the biggest hypocrite to have ever lived.

I stay as far away from BM shit as possible. She and I have only interacted a handful of times in the last 4 years. She smiles to my face and then talks shit about me to SD16. I refuse to play the game and it drives her nuts. She and her husband never follow through on consequences with SD and now she is a lying, manipulative, stealing, school-skipping, tramp. This child admitted to DH's sister, "I don't give a shit what they think. I'm doing my own thing."

DH is a former Disney Dad. Up until 2 years ago, SD could do no wrong. He made real progress in actually parenting his precious princess for a while. But has recently decided (again) that he no longer wants to be the 'heavy' and from now on unless the bad behaviour happens in our house on her once-a-month visits, there will be no consequences here either. He said he will no longer remind her of any of her responsibilities around here (picking up after herself and homework). He did this before and it is blew up in his face. He admitted it was wrong. But here we are again and he said this is the way it will be with 'his child'.

Soooo....BM is a bitch for doing the exact same thing?? Who wants to bet I will be a stepgrandma within a year?

This is DH too! I got the "oh woe is SD16" speech when he TOLD me she was going to move in with us... Oh Daizy, you just can't believe what her room looked like at GBMs, clothes everywhere, garbage everywhere, I have no idea how the girl could find any clothes to wear, blah blah boo hoo poor, poor SD. Well fast forward to SD16 living with us for the past 2 years and her room is a nasty sty at OUR house... Clothes everywhere. Garbage everywhere. could this possibly be GBM's fault? BMs fault? Aliens from outer space? Nope, DH... because HE allows it. He's just as bad as the rest of the idiots.

When SD16 was living with GBM if her grades were bad or she was missing a lot of school? DH was all... GBM is such a POS, it's all her fault that SD is not doing well in school because she is too lazy to get her there, too lazy to do anything blah blah boo hoo poor SD. Well guess who is currently failing 3 subjects? (Algebra, English and Earth Science) So is this BMs fault? GBM's fault? The neighbor's fault? Nope, DH.. because HE allows it.

I could go on and on. But heaven for bid if I ever pointed this out to him.... it would all certainly be MY fault.

Uggg I know what you mean. Is it laziness?? Or the fact that they can't stand to upset special little princess :jawdrop:

My Sd had a 1.6 GPA last year she got her phone taken away and was grounded. This year she started with a clean slate she wasn't grounded but still doesn't have her phone. She did a great job the 1st qtr and brought her GPA up to a 3.4. Awesome work and we are proud of her. But it's still a work in progress. SO is just beside himself because he wants to give her phone back. Not only that but a new phone because her screen is cracked. She had the phone 6 months or so before she cracked the screen plus it's been confiscated for over 6 months.

So now princess "needs" a new phone ???? What the ever lovin hell!!!!!! She is not due for an upgrade for months a new phone will be full price. Plus she is irresponsible and has broken or cracked screens or lost every phone she has gotten. That is plural she's gone through about 6 phones in the last 5 years. I told him he was crazy she can do without a damm phone until she keeps her grades up consistently. He says no way she "needs" a new phone she deserves it her grades are so good. Blah blah blah.

I'm like ok let history repeat itself get her a phone and watch the grades tank so you can take it away again. Grrrrrrrrrr he is so clueless it drives me crazy.

I asked him that...he backpeddled a bit and said he will ensure she picks up after herself but will not enforce her doing any homework. 'she's old enough to know what she needs to do.' This is the same child that has to be reminded to shower. I made it very clear that anything she leaves lying around is going in the garbage.
