Off the hook lightly - as usual

So, today my BD13 had a beach volleyball tourney. I tried to discourage the boys (my BS10 and SS12) from going just because I didn't want to deal with the bickering. But, along they came anyway to support their "sister". Never mind the fact that they slept thru most of the matches or were out on the beach in the water during others...but they were there.

SS12 complained and gave me that "F--- You, B-----" look everytime I asked him to put the cooler in the car, carry a chair (that he will sit in), etc. Nothing new...

But what blew my top was the phone conversation he had with a friend. he invited a friend over to our home and told the friend to bring his little brother to play with his "little stepbrother." Harmless enough right? Well, we have had NUMEROUS conversations with SS12 about making his own plans without discussing and asking for permission. Well, I have "disengaged" so I ignored all calls. Didn't say a word. What he failed to remember was that I had a birthday party this afternoon for my cousin to go to! So when we got home, off I went to the birthday party and I left him at home. I warned DH (who was at work) that his darling son had made plans and that I had not been consulted at all, I let him know it sounded like SS12 was inviting friends over and they would be at our home alone. (A BIG NO NO IN DH's RULE BOOK.)

Well, at 4pm DH arrived home and SS12 was outside playing in the street with his friend and his little brother and my BS10. DH lit into him (according to DH). SS12 admitted that he never once asked for permission...and promised to never ever EVER do it again. And he is now OFF THE HOOK!!!

SS12 then has the NERVE to send me a text and ask if he can go over to another friends house for a sleepover!!!! Why don't you ask you father you freaking brat!!!!?!!?!?!?!?!

FREAKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!

I am SOOO sick of SS12 doing what he wants when he wants and how he wants. This is the way BM is. Very selfish and self centered. She totally disregards other peoples schedules and timelines for her own personal ones. Clearly he is turning into her royally!!!

You're children learn these sorts of things by watching. He sees his mom come and go as she pleases...do as she pleases....not respect anyone else's schedule. Sure its a personality trait, but you get a personality trait from someone! He gets that from her!
