So DH has been doing a lot of side jobs and i thought it would be for the golf cart we've been talking about getting. this morning he says that SS15 asked him if he would pay for half of a laptop if DH would pay for the other half. I said OH YEA...that sounds nice. in my head i'm thinking how stupid DH is because this kid has never paid for HALF of anything he says he will, it's always well i have this and i'll pay you back the rest later. so i reminded Dh that if this is his christmas gift that's one thing, but if its above and beyond he needs to put the same $$ toward ss17's college fund. so DH says well than i'll just give both my kids $300 for christmas. let me remind you we haven't gone grocery shopping in probably a month. but somehow he has $600 laying aroudn to give his kids. i'm pissed. it'd be nice if he could spread the wealth around the house once in a while instead of on those little greedy bastards. grrrrrr
so i asked him - so what are you getting me for christmas....he smiles and says i got a tv and surround in the garage - this was for him and he's trying to pawn it off on to him getting it for me - this is retarded and i'm pissed.
on the other hand i can understand that DH is the one making the money and he should do with it as he pleases...i'm just pissed that his first thought isn't to help with household stuff but rather "the boys"

oh yes - disengagement is a wonderful thing i've been enlightened to - but i have to ask....what is "can you start hurrying the PAS process now?"

and the ATM is what DH becomes when the skids dont' come around. DH will want to go have a meal with them - i can understand wanting to see your kids, but when do you hit that wall of "maybe they're just using me for a good meal and $40???"
ss17 text Dh last night if it'd be ok to bring girlfriend down saturday because she likes us. Dh said fine, but i've got a job in the morning to do and Dakota and i have plans at 7 that night - what time are you planning on being here. ss17 says he'd be around in time for lunch out somewhere - well of course you will be!!! I asked Dh if he ever makes a trip anymore without wanting food and a full tank of gas. DH - he's my boy of course i'm going to take care of his needs. i said that's what his job is for.....apparently DH forgets the boy has a job!!

HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING ONE OF OUR OUTTINGS?!?!?!
YES!!!! Dh will do the big meal and then take them to pick out a new shirt and jeans at Aeropostale (which we will never see again!!!!)
even a family night isn't movies and popcorn at home - our movies are boring - they want to go see the new movie out which will then cost DH $8 per ticket x4, $12 for popcorn and pop x2, and then when we get out of the place ss15 is STILL hungry so there's usually a subway run or something before going home!!!

personally i think the skids are more expensive than they're worth...

"the more money thrown at them the more they will become even bigger piles of SHIT!"

expectant piles of shit!!! i can see DH paying the bills for these two despite them having their own jobs and families when they're well into their 30's because "they're my boys" :sick:

Ugh, I would be pissed too. I made a recent post about how DH and I decided not to go crazy on Christmas this year so we could put some $$$ in the bank towards a house because we have severely outgrown our apartment. He agreed, then turned around and plans on getting SD some quit expensive Christmas gifts. I was pretty damn upset. I don't get it.

I read an old email convo between DH and a friend (girl) from back when we didn't even know each other. And he said those exact words to her, "I like spoiling her to no end" then he proceeded to say that SD (back then 2 and 3 years old) associated HIM with fun things like going to Disney, parks, getting toys etc...

In another instance he told me that when BM was pregnant he *WANTED* a girl because he always wanted to "spoil a girl" this was back when we were dating. :sick:

I'm glad all that stopped when we got married Smile
