Does anyone else's skid do this?
SS12 likes to try to get people in trouble.
For example:
SS: This woman was trying to flirt with Dad at the pool yesterday
ME: Oh yea? Was she hot?
SS: Yep, she was really pretty and she had blonde hair and really big boobs
ME: Well that's a relief. I don't like it when ugly chicks hit on your dad
SS: Oh that doesn't bother you?
ME: Nope.
SS: My mom would have went crazy on step dad
ME: Well I'm not your mom.<<<--actually said
ME(in my head):Thank God I am nothing like that sea donkey you have for a mother
Then SS went to his room.
I asked DH about it and he said that he noticed that SS seemed to tattle with the intention of getting people in trouble. It aggravates him and he said to just call him out on it when he does that.

Not sure of the backstories
Not sure of the backstories here, but as an isolated trait, it seems like SS is just being an instigator and finding it entertaining to get a rise out of people. Clearly he was just looking to get a rise out of you. I know adults who still behave like this. I agree with your DH, call him out on it when he does it. Does your SS have siblings? This seems to be a common "middle child" quality.
SS in general is a good kid.
SS in general is a good kid. He has developed some of BMs awful qualities or personality traits over the last couple of years like her "I'm here. Now worship me because I exist" :sick: and her laziness OMG the laziness. and the lying about everything *SIGH*
SS has one sibling my son with DH who is 5.
My oldest step is 28 years
My oldest step is 28 years old and she STILL does this. Loves stirring the pot. She randomly saw me give a hug to a woman in a store, and couldn't wait to "tattle" on me. Of course she just looked stupid when she found out the woman was a close friend of my wife's. I just sat there with a smirk on face while she looked stupid.
LOL I don't care if chicks
LOL I don't care if chicks hit on my DH because I know he loves me and I trust him. Even if it was a concern I certainly wouldn't have went ballistic on DH in front of the kids.
Yeah, it's amazing how your
Yeah, it's amazing how your dad's taste in women has improved in the last few years!
I don't think it's a skid
I don't think it's a skid thing. It's a kid thing. Tattling.
Your H should nip this little habit in the bud.
My mother had a great way of curing tattling, she would bust the tattler instead of the sibling they pointed out in the lineup. There was all of the usual whining about it not being fair but trust me, it eventually stopped the tattling problem.
I say eventually because one of my younger sisters is a drama queen and liked the attention.
Oh haha I didn't mean for it
Oh haha I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought it was a skid thing. I know little kids do it and they have to be taught not to tattle. But I just don't understand why he would do that. Would he have been happy if I had berated DH over the matter? When I was younger I used to cringe when my parents fought. I hated that.
I may have read into that
I may have read into that too, so not your fault.
Some kids like to stir things up. He may be bored. He may be thinking if you guys split, his mom and dad may get back together. He may be pushing buttons for fun.
Your H may want to ask him why he's doing what he's doing, not in a confrontational way. Have him approach it with simple curiosity.
BM and SD13 do this type of
BM and SD13 do this type of thing.
BM has called DSO in the middle of the night to tattle on one OSS, something he did a few months ago, bc OSS wouldn't do what she wanted in that minute. DSO is a pro at handling BM and just ignores her.
Oh my SD is AWESOME at this
Oh my SD is AWESOME at this game. She once told me "EVERY time you aren't around we call (ex wife)." She says things often hoping to instigate a fight or get her siblings in trouble. She even tries to get me and DH mad at her mother or grandmother. It s nuts!
