2 weeks in, 24 to go! DH is the problem.

Its only week 2, I need strength to get through the next 24 weeks.

Skid24 has actually been better than I expected since he moved back, he is making an effort and it is noticed. I am making an effort too and at least DH acknowledges that.

Skid wants to say longer than months and he asked before moving in, he wants 9 months. However, I told DH 6 months is what I am willing to do and I will consider it has time passes.

The only thing so far that is going to make it a no is DH.

 

Since skid24 moved in DH is up his ass trying to baby him, defensive with me for no reason and is displaying his inner spineless Disney Dad. I can’t stand it.

Skid24 started parking behind my car on the drive way, blocking me in the garage. I asked DH to mention to skid not to and we arranged for him to have off the street parking with a double front driveway of his own at the house next door that is vacant prior to this.  Normally I don’t go out much in the evening, so most times will not affect me, however its that one time that will be a pain in my ass and piss me off. So I asked DH to do this before its an issue, he said to me well he leaves before you in the morning so it not a big deal. The other night skid comes home sick and goes to bed, at 7pm I am going to do errands and grocery shop and his car is in my way. But no DH could not say shit to skid even in a nice way to benefit him. Seriously???

Anytime I even speak about his son DH gets hyper defensive. Does not even hear what I say before coming to his defense. I was complimenting his kid and he is being all defensive then denies he was.

Goes around and babies him, I don’t get treatment even when I am sick.

Tonight skid comes home with leftover curried chicken from his mom's house, I said to skid as he came in annoucing his leftovers that he should throw them out, curry is not allowed in the house. DH can't stand the smell of curry, I am not allowed to cook curry or have indian take out becuase of it. But skid is allowed to put his curry dinner in the fridge and its fine. My son is coming home tomorrow and during his stay we will be eating curry take out in the house. Obviously DH has no issue with his skid having it in the house then he should have no issue with the co-mortgage payor having curry in the house. 

My bio is coming out for Christmas this year, it was planned before skid was moving in. He has not been out in a year. We moved into a new house in the summer and my bio’s bedroom furniture is in the only spare room. Before skid moving in DH and I talked and said my son would get the room for his 10 day stay and his son would have vacate that room and move to my office on the futon for those 10 days. A few days before skid moved in DH was saying that his son should stay in that room because its easier, I told him we already agreed that my son would stay in his own bed and skid had no issue with that before moving in. This morning DH says to me since his kid is sick with a cold and that since he spends most of his time in the bedroom (which is true) that we should have him move. I said he discussed this twice and that my son gets the room and to stay in his own bed, I further told DH that he comes home 1-2 times per year, I want to make his visit enjoyable, so he might come more often. Meanwhile we are doing his kid a favor, its not like he is coming for a visit from out of state/province.

DH was pouty but agreed. I come home tonight, and he wants to buy a bed and turn my office in to a spare room. I rarely use my office and it will be less since I just accepted an offer for a different job and I will not be working from home ocassionally. But really? If I said ok his son could have the room with my bio’s bed and my bio be on the futon the idea of buying another bed would not even come up in this mind, and if I said anything I am sure his reply would be “its only for 10 days, we don’t need to spend the money”.

I don’t think I can take 24 more weeks of the new DH.

Agrhhhh!

DH just reminded skid that he has to vacate the room tomorrow and there was a big pout and the comments of why doesn’t “grace’s bio sleep in the office? This is a pain in my ass. But all my stuff. This isn’t fair” and then he stooped his feet downstairs slamming doors. DH did remind him that he told him this before. Now DH is not speaking to me, I am getting the cold shoulder. 

Maybe I should book an Airbnb and put DH and Skid there for my son’s stay since I am the one hosting Christmas dinner. Or better yet maybe bio and i should stay somewhere else and then I won’t be cooking dinner for DH’s family.

Seriously, get an Airbnb for you and DS and spend the holiday in a relaxed fashion. Your DH and SS sound like they are difficult to be around right now. What kind of 24 year old man goes around slamming doors?

I would be furious about being blocked in the drive. What a pain in the a** that would be, even if it only happens occasional.

its the "new" DH.  Its the same old guilty/disney daaaaaadeeee DH.  I would book as holiday for just you and DS.  Let H and his mini spouse wallow in their pitiful stupidity.

To have curry?  Is DH deathly allergic?  If not, that wouldn't sit too well with me. Then it's ok for his DS to do so?? 

As far as who gets what bedroom, I'd actually be ok with my kid in my office on a nice pullout bed (not a futon, they suck).  I wouldn't want his kid in my space.

No, skid should NOT be blocking your car!  Why doesn't he park behind his dad's car?  His dad should have got his keys and moved the car so you could go out.

Have you explained in an earlier post why he is there in the first place?  I think you have said he has a full-time and a part-time job.

the issues about his son because thats a reflection of him, his genetics, his lousy parenting style.

in the past year or 2 I started voicing myself more, i do not address issues with ss directly, i always message hubby at work and its the cold hard truth and it often doesn’t come out nice but when you’re treated like shit, shit is what you get.

when things get to a point that’s unacceptable i do threaten with leaving hubby and moving back home overseas with our 2 kids and state clearly don’t think the courts will give you custody of the kids as they’re toddlers and when they know how things have been and your 20yr old son from ex is emotionally abusive to us and enjoys it and tells you he will continue it, that is it.

We’ve done this back and forth a few times so i recently asked hubby what ss had done since divorce almost 10 yrs ago that was productive or useful to hubby and his life. Any housework? Any asking dad how his dad went? Helping with chores? Answer was NO NO NO!!.

meanwhile past 4 yrs of marriage i listed the things i have done with him or for him, what our 2 kids aged 1.5 & 3 do, that his bio son has not done and refuses to do. That helped put things in perspective
