"I didn't think it concerned you" DH co-signed on apartment for SD without even talking to me.

Just when I think DH understands what being married and joint finances mean, he goes and does something stupid.

This time it was co-signing for SD23 and her BF on their apartment. SD's bf doesn't have a job, just goes to school full time and his mom and dad pay for everything! SD and bf had a roommate in the 2 bedroom apartment they are living in, but when said roommate moved out, their income (read: income from SD's 2 part time jobs) didn't qualify them for the apartment anymore. They had a couple new roommates lines up but they fell through.

DD12 has been alone during the day several times, either for a few hours after school or during the day on days off from school and I'm at work. Twice now, I have left her and one of her best friends home at our house for a couple hours at night, but I've never left her home alone, by herself, at night. She is very responsible, and a smart, respectful kid. I trust her, it's other people I don't trust.

DH going out of town again, even though he's laid off and we can't afford it

Don't remember if I wrote about it back then but in November DH went to Phoenix, for Nascar, with his sister. He was already laid off (seasonal job), and so figured it would cure his boredom. He had been going every year before this year, but I told him I just didn't see how we could afford it this year. He wanted me to go too but I would have had to take unpaid time off work (currently working a temporary contract job, no vacation pay). Then in October I had to have carpal tunnel surgery and was out of work (paid, worker's comp from my previous job) for a month.

Cop outs and excuses

I sat DH down last night and handed him the things I felt we needed to talk about, in my last entry. He was full of excuses and cop outs about how he feels he can't bring up SS21 or I get upset and negative every time. I pointed out the last 2-3 times we've had to deal with him, I did not get negative at all. I went along with whatever he wanted. SS needed $50 for rent, great we'll go take it to him even though it meant rearranging our plans we had for that day.

I'm the bad guy, again. Of course! *edit*

I'm so sick and tired of being the bad guy time after time, and DH not growing a pair.

I was stupid and let DH invite SS21 to our house for Christmas. DH was super whiney about it, and "really wanted to have both his kids over for dinner" and that "SS seems like he's doing so much better". I told him it was only for Christmas. Christmas went ok, no fights or arguments, SS was actually pretty decent, course he wasn't really there long enough to cause any problems. DH took him home around 8 and I thought that was the end of it.
