I’m so sick of the skids coming to our house sleep deprived.

Last night SS13 was a total red-eyed-asshole. I asked him what time he went to bed the night before. SS13 said 9 p.m. Then I asked him what time he went to sleep. All I got from SS13 was *crickets* *deer-in-headlight* and then a snarky “I don’t know!!!”

I’m sure SS13 was up most of the night effing around on his tablet. And far be it from BM to interrupt that. I mean it’s only mid-terms week. Not like grades matter.

After SS13 left the room DH and I talked and WE agreed that he would go to bed at 8 p.m. DH led the conversation; I wasn’t nagging him or being aggressive or bossy.

8 p.m. rolls around. I let DH know it’s 8. I get a nasty look from DH and then he goes to SS13 and proceeds to negotiate with SS13 and the skid gets another half hour of TV time.

I am so over this. DH always throws me under the bus when it comes to SS13.

SS13 has is floundering in school. He has D’s in 4 classes. He could be an A/B student if BM and DH would parent him instead of negotiating, letting him have his way all.the.time.

This morning after the skids left for school DH apologized and said he knew what he did was wrong but he didn’t want to be the bad guy.

I told DH that nobody wants to be the bad guy to SS13 and that’s why he is the way his is.
