Can you just tell SS...

Cooooookies's picture

No. No, I cannot and will not.  You made this mess, you deal with it.

As a lot of you probably know, DH is a lovely man.  Not so great of a father.  SS17 has little rules, no expectations...and he is living up to that beautifully.  If he does a poor job, half a job, barely a job at all...DH will always stick up for poor little COD, autistic, mommy doesn't care about me little poopsie.

Bruh

I thought the useless expression of "bruh" died with the 90's/early 2000's but apparently not.

SS17 has a very deep and carrying voice.  So I'm sitting downstairs in the living room, which is right below his bedroom.  Every 10-30 seconds, all I hear him keep saying is "bruh".  He's on the PS4, talking to his online "friends", having their gaming conversation.  Fine, I don't mind that but...

"Bruh"

"Bruh"

"Bruh"

SS17 is trying to burn the house down

So I go in his room this morning just to open his curtains and notice the phone charging wire on the floor.  It is bare and exposed wire.  All of the plastic coating is gone and the cables are exposed and frayed.

He sits on an office chair while watching tv/playing video games.  Guarantee this was done with his feet.  He is very tactile/sensory so probably fiddled with this wire with his toes.  The more it fell apart, the more he enjoyed the different feeling as various parts fell off/became exposed.

Christmas was a bust

It's not a surprise though as my FIL passed away on December 15th.  DH was grieving so much that he felt physically ill.  It would've helped if we could've gone to SS36's house but I was scheduled to work on Christmas Day.  And, for once, I actually had to go as the ward remained open.

So that ruined our chances of going as it was right in the middle of the afternoon and we would've missed dinner.  SS36 lives just over an hour's drive away so it was pointless by the time I actually got home.

Sent SS17 to the store

to get a can of red beans and get chili packet mix.  I even showed him pics of it on a grocery store app so he'd know what to look for.  He calls me:

SS17:  Cookies, I found the red beans but can't find the chili mix.

Me:  They should have it, look again.

SS17:  I am looking now.  All I can see is mexican, long grain, pilau...

Me:  Those are bags of RICE SS, you need to look for MIXES.  There will be shepard's pie, sausage casserole...

SS17: OHHHH oh my bad.  Yeah, ok, I see them.

OT issues at work

There are so many issues where I work.  Well, on my team.  I work in Hotel Services and there are two managers.  In the 3 years I've been there, neither one of them actually manage.  Like, legit manage, lead, inspire, direct, etc.  Nothing.  There are really good people on the team...but you know what happens if there's no leadership.  Sort of like when a parent doesn't actually parent their child.

Clueless

I already knew SS17 wasn't mature and is clueless.  It is coming to light more and more now that he's not in regular school.

He has studies twice a week, qualification course one day, work experience one day and volunteer/work experience one day.  This morning he was planning on going to the qualification course.

I said well the work experience and volunteer experience started this week so which one are you supposed to go to today?  He said work experience is on Fridays.  Okkkkkkkayyyyyy so are you supposed to go to the qualification course or volunteer today?

Heart breaking

This site is for venting, I completely understand that.

Some of you, though, are just plain, downright being abused and mistreated.  It is heartbreaking to the slightly different stories with the same thing.  It is one thing if your SO/DH is a poor parent.  That will reflect in the skids and have the related ripple effects.

BUT if your partner is mean to you verbally, mentally or physically...that is not being a poor parent.  That is being an abusive partner.

That is never okay.
