GRR I am so irritated. New for me i know.
BM calls again to talk to the kids, then FH.
Of course he starts talking to her for a half an hour so I went into the other room and made a call myself cause it bugs me when he does this. I was going to remove myself from the trigger and the temptation to listen.
Apparently she told her son about her "new son". And now the son has all these questions about how come the baby wasn't his dads etc. Quite honestly I thought the dad knew the son already knew this so I was trying to figure out what the BM could have told him about this baby that he didnt already know.
I know the son knew there was a new baby cause hes mentioned it to me before. But apparently the dad thought this was all a well hid secret. So FH is ballistic that he wasn't able to sit and have this conversation with ss7. And ss7 is wondering how come the new baby isnt his dads. and so he allows one of the bedtime rules to be broken. He lets the boys room door be opened. I was unaware of this when I caught ss7 playing by knocking on BD's door and then running. So I told him to knock it off and shut the door. He immediately starts bawling because dad said he could have it open. On top of this SD2 has been a brat at bedtime, refusing to go to sleep and spending forever crying which led to FH laying in bed with her 20 minutes last night which I disagree with, because now shes screaming even harder and louder trying to get a repeat.
I HATE bedtime, I HATE it.
So i went out and informed FH I had shut the door i THOUGHT was always supposed to be shut at bedtime and apparently made a mistake since he had allowed it to be open, and told him if he wanted it open he could go open it, but I wasn't caving in. And went into my room and shut the door.
My 3 are all in bed. My 3 are all quiet. He can have fun with the rest. I am done for tonight.







Good for you!
your right
Sometimes its better to disengage then to struggle with it. Let him keep dealing with it till he gets tired of it.

Bedtimes can be tough. The good news is your kids are with their mom -- so getting them tucked in for the nite is easy. Focus on the good stuff.
