End to a Skid free weekend

Sad

So it was a decent weekend. We spent a ton of time with our friends who are such great people.
DH didn't hear ONE word from SS's. Not ONE!! Apparently he sent them a text on the 4th and got NO response.
He only really mentioned them one time all weekend and that was basically to say how OSS's total withdraw from DH had him all
upset. I personally loved the Lack of contact but it did bother me for DH.
The only real issue we had all weekend was DH's attempt to get on my BS for the disappearing chargers in the house.
I stopped him immediately in his tracks. The fact is...BS's phone does not take the kind of charger DH's phone, ipod or anything else takes.
the SKIDS however, do use the same type of charger so GO ASK THEM!!
Im sure DH was pouty due to my abrupt interuption of his BS but I really could care less.
Still didn't cook all weekend. DH wanted to grill last night so he made dinner.
BS is gone for the week and I don't plan on changing the NO MORE COOKING rule at all.

Yep....DH started with a Snarky comment to BS and before he could finish it I let him know to STOP immediately. DH looked like a kicked puppy and just looked down. It kindof ruined the rest of our day as it just pissed me off more and more every thing I thought about it.
The OSS can utterly cut DH out of his life unless he needs cash, or a new cell phone (which still irks the hell out of me) and DH says nothing. MSS can sent scathing text messages to DH telling him what a shitty father he is and DH "has a talk with him", YSS can whine and cry and act like a damn two year old and he is ignored. But lord help BS if he walks through the door and DH even THINKS he has done something (which as I said prior he had NOT). Im sick of him thinking he can parent my kid while his kids are left to do and say WTF they want. The last time I checked....I had a pretty great kid, because I PARENT him...
Im hoping DH feels the burn from this little exchange long enough to think twice before trying that shit again.

I had no issues with DH helping to raise my BS as long as he is fair about it! When it got to the point that I noticed he was way harder on BS than his own, I put my foot down. I told him when I start treating his kids like he treats mine, he will NOT like it.
He really does love BS and BS LOVES DH. However, I really think that DH feels he has no control over his own kids so he tries to prove he is a good dad and does that by being harder on mine. DH just doesn't realize that BS can see his lack of parenting with his own so all it really does is cause resentment from BS toward DH.

Exactly why BS has the "no chore" rule at my house unless I ask him to do it.
DH lost that priviledge too when he refused to make his precious spawn to anything but smell and eat our food.
Luckily BS is a good kid and will do whatever I ask normally without complaining but he is a 17 yr old so I can't expect it to go smooth all the time. Wink

PS....I think this site has list its freaking mind. I will just stay the hell clear of all the drama! I notice you are too Sally....smart girl!
