You are here

SKIDS just get under my skin!

Back again before the top blows off, it's SD23 birthday this week so DW planned a dinner tonight. SS18 and SD23 are here now chatting it up with mommy. Just the sound of their voices makes me sick. They are abrasive, loud individuals with a tone that sounds something between snotty and aggravated. Neither can get a job and they are just going on and on how hard they are trying and how unfair it is. SD is tipping the scale around 210 these days and can't understand why guys don't want to go out with her. Besides being a eating drinking machine she is an over opinionated brat. SS moved out to his dads a few weeks back but life at daddy's isn't going so well and he has been crashing here for the past three nights. Apparently dear old dad gave it to him good about getting high and spending what little money he has on weed.

I often wonder if it will ever get better. When they are not here life is calm and wonderful.

Tough love, but I do hear what you are saying. I do lose sight that they bother me and my knee jerk is to see the bad.

I completely understand your revulsion to these whining useless twits. Rather than get nauseous over their abrasive tone and presence start engaging with them. "Well young people, only you can fix your situations so rather than complain about boys not wanting to date you do something to make yourself appealing to them. If you are broke and having a hard time getting a job quit smoking dope so you can pee in a cup and pass an employment drug screen. Happy birthday by the way SS. Use this birthday to reset your life and be accountable for yourselves. So, share with your mom and I what you have been doing to get jobs, etc...?"

Your calm, mature, and digging questions will either engage their brains or make them uncomfortable enough that they will not frequent your home and will push mom to meet them for mommy time somewhere else.

Take charge.
