So I ask DH why the spawn is doing a job he has already done yesterday and he explodes at me. Says he is sick of me questioning his parenting and he is angry because I haven't been sugary sweet to the spawn. So I let him have it! Both barrels! Told him what I thought of his oxygen thieving fucking spawn and how he changes into a pathetic door mat when he is around. Whatever the spawn wants, the spawn gets. How he ignores me and spends his whole time focusing on him. Then I mentioned all the "parent" things I had done and how I have to push him to do things or they wouldn't get done. (Pay school fees, buy books, organise parent teacher interviews, pay for school camp etc. Etc. Etc.) He didn't have much to say to that! I told him no more!
God it felt good not to back down anymore! Sick of caving in to keep the peace. Fuck em! There will be more shit coming but you guys have helped me feel strong enough to stand up and say, no shout "no more!". You guys are awesome!!!

Thanks girls! It did feel good. Stony silence from opposite sides of the yard but I will NOT back down this time.

I had the same kind of evening! All hell broke lose and I didn't back down, either! How long do these clueless DHs think we're going to be the Alice to their Mr. Brady FFS?

So glad to hear that you took a stand! Only problem is that after us SMs deliver the shock treatment, the DHs are just as dumbfounded as before!

But I say enjoy your victory!

Update is that it lead to a civilsed conversation (eventually) with some realisation on DHs part. He has paid attention to how the spawn excludes me from conversation and the awareness has been a transformation. That coupled with the return of the surly smart-mouthed brat has opened DHs eyes a bit.
He really is the most wonderful man , just needs a harsh dose of my reality now and then.
I laid it all on the line. Explained the concept of disengagement without specifically using that word and how I don't have shared dna, therefore I don't have the love, patience or commitment to the SS. I really think I got through this time and there is a glimmer of understanding into my world.
Couldn't have done it without you gals!
