Moving on...

giveitago's picture

SS 19 has now decided he wants to go and live elsewhere, of course it'll be all my fault yet again?! This will be the fifth time the boy has 'moved on' since he was 16, and the catalyst for him moving seems to be that people want reasonable behaviors from him, and for him to pull his weight in the household.
The audacity of these folks, huh?

Last straw

I told SS he was not to do his laundry here any more, He even got the last word on the issue as he walked out the door...I don't really care about the last word anyhow but they all seem to.
I just now moved another load of laundry belonging to SS from the drier. Well, if SS wants to turn the laundry into a pissing contest then he is wasting his time. If he elaborates on it I will just tell him 'I'm sorry you chose to defy me.' Last year, in September, DH told him he'd end up doing his laundry elsewhere, after his blatant disrespect.

If I find any laundry belonging to SS again

there will be huge trouble. He's been asked, warned and threatened, by his dad too, that occupying the laundry room for days is totally unnaceptable. I can see DH's point that it's a trivial issue that he really cannot be bothered with when he's on chemo and I really do not like when it happens but I am damned if I am going to just allow SS to disrespect us and our home just because it's not a 'major' thing. In case DH had not noticed, they get away with minor stuff and it leads them to want to get away with more and more major stuff...like SD is doing!

Would anyone else feel a little uncomfortable about this?

On a ride home DH is talking to the driver and he made mention of an ex girlfriend, while I was sitting in the middle of them. I think it is bad protocol. It does matter about the context of the conversation, I get that it was a comparative experience sort of tone to their conversation. I did not say a word, previously that day DH had managed to piss me off royally with some 'whatever' remarks and maybe I was overreacting, it's very possible, but it's really bad form to mention an ex, regardless of the experience with said ex, in front of your wife, surely?

So far so good...

It's a new year and my resolution is to avoid miserable folks. I'll say something along the lines of 'I'm sorry for your troubles' and then change the subject!
I still feel for you all here, however, since I know what a lot of you are going through...some of it I cannot even imagine!
Chin up folks and let's make this a happy new year.

Not surprising,..

Of course BM had to throw her oar in, sent her a response that does not require her to say any more on the topic. Basically, don't judge us by your own standards lady! Of course I said it in such a way that she had no come back...if she does come back then she's more stupid than I thought she was!

DH kicked SD out....

SD begged us to take her in because she had nowhere to go.
Rules were she's a home body, no one knows where she is etc. and she keeps away from the company she has been associating with, drug dealers, pimps etc.
Today DH let her use the car to go and cash the baby bonds in that Grandma gave her, I think in the regions of $400? The bonds had not matured yet, they would have been worth much more if the twins could keep their greedy hands off them...SS got his too!! MIL got tired of them asking and wanted rid of the burden, I don't blame her.

It really sucks for them...

That the SKids are so disrespectful really sucks for them. They are in for some rude awakening when society at large will not tolerate their bullshit and they are not able to come back here. DH wants to 'justify' and pick up after their asses? He must be out of his mind! Not me, I stopped even telling DH about the crap and I just take what I see belonging to them...that has been there longer than a day. It's their stupidity that they go ask DH where their stuff is? DH no longer knows!
