No favorites! Yeah right!

So tonight we had SD15 and SD13 over for dinner. She is the last child to finish eating and put her plate in the sink. I enter the kitchen after her and DH is following me. I point to the sink where her plate with peas was placed on an angle on top of other plates, causing the peas to spill around the sink. There is a lip around the sink which contained most of the spill.

DH reaction - Well, who was the last one to eat? (We both know SD15 was the last one to finish eating)
I can hear DH's mind turning, trying to figure out who else to blame for SD15's plate. He calls all the kids into the kitchen and says whose plate is this? (Cause they will confess to it, right?)

I say to BS14 -You were the first to finish eating? BS14 comes into the kitchen and says yeah, and I ate all my peas.
I dont say anything, knowing what is coming. I know DS14 did eat all his peas. I know SD13 ate all her peas. I know whose plate it is - SD15 or the golden child.

DH can't possibly blame the golden child. So he says to ALL the kids - ALL of YOU see this? This is unacceptable! I dont ever want to see this again!

The kids leave and I tell him that the plate on top had peas on it which rolled off the plate and around the sink. He starts debating how could that have happened? I said softly -Gravity.
He says no way! Inertia would have caused the peas to go to the right of the fork and not around the fork. I am dumb founded and dont say a word but continue cleaning up the kitchen.
~ Really, DH?? You have to come up with a scientific explanation as to how PEAS found the lowest spot on the sink when the dish was placed in the sink , on an angle???? And then yell at ALL the kids not to do something that SD15 just did? All because he can't hold her responsible for her actions!~

Then he says, I know you are not happy with the way I handled it. I just tell him Whatever, you handled it. Then start mumbling to myself, Cause we can't hold her accountable for her actions and I can't voice a negative word about anything she does. He hears me and says what did you say? I just tell him nothing.

I'm just tired of it...And now her Bday is this weekend. Where he will want to give her money that we dont have...Luckily I have been able to tell him that what we do for one kid, we have to do for the other kids, and not at the expense of our budget! Amazingly, he agreed. Usually, he tries to find a way to benefit SD15 over the other kids. KIDS see special treatment. And they don't forget it !

OK RANT OVER!
