So over a month ago SO told me about some kid SS20 plays online gaming with (no idea who this kid is) was coming up and going to stay at our house for a few days.. I asked dates etc SO didn't know just the end of the month. This is the one and only time I've heard about it.. so never crossed my brain again.

Driving home at 8pm from a hair appointment last night I asked what the parking situation in our driveway was and he answered with... not sure what's going on out there because SS20 and friend went to airport to pick online gaming friend. Now I'm pissed.

Im like wtf... no heads up, no reminder etc.. SO KNOWS how I get with the house when people come over... he doesn't do ANYTHING to prep for anyone...

He gets all mad at me with the typical..."whyyyyy do you carreeew." Because I do!!! Just because you don't care about a revolving door at our house I do!!! I said to him Please!! Call someone and ask them if their wives would be mad about no notice of a strange adult you've never met staying at their house??!!! Please!!! 

Now... he was already mad at me because momday SS20 got a new car... he made go outside and "check it out" then asked me if I wanted to go for a ride... I said no I don't. I KNEW that was going to piss SO off when I said. The day before I came home from work SS20 was cooking and made a gigantic mess (like he always does) left cheese out... that I bought and went bad... sent pics to SO he called him... hours later SS20 comes up to "clean" his mess and went to out the cheese back in the fridge (I happen to be in the kitchen) and something I haven't done in a LONG time is engage with him.. said to SS20 why can't he clean him... he started with his long drawn out "okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" and I flat out called him a fucking slob. He replied with "thanks missk." SO thinks because SS20 didn't call me a name in SO eyes he is "improving" just to let everyone know. If I didn't get the 14 year old answer of okkkkkkkkkkk I would have called him a fucking slob probably but yeah know.. I DID.

Long story short he gets all mad and brings SSstb17 and how I "don't talk to her." And how he "talks" to people about ME not getting along with his kids blah blah. THIS IS YOUR FAULT SO. YOU!! You allow them to disrespect me, I disengaged but now I'm dammed by doing that!!

So then I ask him about ok what do YOU talk to SD about???! He couldn't really answer me then accused me of "drilling him." NO I'm asking you legit questions because I'm trying to understand. He's going to talk to her Thursday he says... yeah ok. We will see.

He also told me that I didn't need to be there and he "can't deal with it." The guy can't handle anything.. 47 years old and just a giant baby.

I've been thorugh this!! They don't understand we don't want the SS20 firends staying, it's an adult sleep-over eewww!!! WHo wants that in their house????

I had a situation where SS19 has a friend in her early 20s. The girl would come, pick him and his brother up to go out at night. She would get drunk, come back and go to sleep in one of their beds! OMG I flipped, and requested this not to happen again. Still happened. One day I explicitly asked Ss and my SO that I didn't want her pulling off her drunk stunt that night beacuse I wasn't feeling well and didn't want a stranger in my house... two hours later... SS arrives, speaks to SO, and next thing the drunk hoe is walking in my door and going to sleep off her alcohol. The next day hell broke loose and SO told me "I couldn't let her leave..." I said but I asked, bargained, begged to avoid this situation and your spawn first thing he does is the OPPOSITE!!

Sometimes I wonder, why do I even allow this in my life?

"Why do you care?"

UM BECAUSE IT'S A STRANGER! Had your SO not heard of phishing scams, pedophiles, serial killers, and just weirdos in general? This is a SAFETY issue. On top of being totally disrespectful. Ridiculous.

See THIS right here is why I refuse to live with men who are running a household like a wild animal "sanctuary" .... anything goes and when you rightfully want structure then you're not the demon with 3 heads. 
 

I left my now ex because he'd pull these same shenanigans. 
 

Rarely provide advance notice of his domestic terr0rists and/or their friends relatives or whoever coming into "our" house. 

Guess who had peace disrupted because they were loud, messy, rude, and entitled?

Then have the gall to act dumbfounded when I lost seggsual attraction 

Nope you want to run your house like some wild jungle then don't dare ask a woman (unless they like that sort of thing which most don't) to come live in that chaotic mess. 
 

if people and their kids pretend they don't understand how to respect you, your home space, and the rules of said space then they don't need to be invited into the space.

I'll add too!! He tried to defend it with "it's not different if it was someone from school." THESE ARE ADULTS NOT 12 YEAR OLDS!

Also SS19 gf sleeps over (something I never wanted to allow but here we are)  that was starting to get abused. SO said something to him last weekend about this. 

Rags's picture

SO said something. But... will he do something about it is the question?

Guage people by their actions and never be fooled by their words.

My guess is, no change.  GF19 will still be riding SS in your house even after daddy "said something to him".

Uh, isn't it common courtesy to let the other person who lives in the home, owns it too, helps pay the bills, know that there will be a house guest on so and so days?  I bet if YOU had brought over someone to stay a few days without talking to him about it, he'd be plenty mad.  It's likely that he is annoyed with SS as well, but he's not going to say anything to him in the name of keeping the peace.  Some husbands don't mind starting a war with their wives but want to keep the peace when it comes to their friends, relatives, kids, ex, etc.  Even a coworker or neighbor gets more consideration in some cases.  

He'll learn one day.  When you've had enough and you snap.  He'll learn that keeping the peace only starts a war within yourself and your marriage.  Hopefully he'll learn before you decide it isn't worth it and just walk away.  

Wasn't SS20 supposed to be moving out?  What happened with that?

Those are the really dumb men who end up divorced, in nursing homes alone (their entitled kids aren't taking care of them), struggling to get steady intimate affection from women.

This is 100% SO. Will please everyone but me. I wasn't concerned for my life or anything but 8 o'clock at night to be informed pissed me off. 

BM has YET to move out of state!! She couldn't even do us that favor!!

^See that's why me personally I will NEVER live with a man who has adult kids living with him 

HELL no 

because now these adult kids are very hard to evict, they come in and out like they own the place, then they have the audacity to bring their pets, their FWB, their illegitimate kids, etc 

Next thing you know you got a full house of "roommates" you never invited who suck up resources you should be using to retire while they kick their feet up/not paying any bills. 
 

After I saw that "adult stepkids" thread... I knew for me that I didn't not want to be obligated to anyone's spawns especially after 18 or hs graduation. 
 

Way too much hassle with low to no payoff.

"Why do you care?"

 

 

This is my home, I pay the bills, I clean the house, I buy the items we need to live. I care because. it. is. my. home.

He also told me that I didn't need to be there...

Oh no he bloody well did NOT. Who doesn't need to be there are SS's gaming buddies. They do not live in the house so they can get the F out. If gaming buddy can afford airfare, they can find a cheap airbnb to rent.

No problem SO. I'll start my search for my apartment where there will be no adult sleepovers.

Rags's picture

My spider senses are that this may be an underage person.  If that is the case... call the police and get them all hauled off to face the music.

First SS20.  SS20 is living at home? [Not out in his own apartment.]. gets it invite anyone over. [ you don't want SS20. certainly not his inter net friends] over. That you are paying four.  [food, drink]. 
'You sadly need a exit plan.  Your DH just doesn't get it.  He putting his 20 yo son above you and his future fail marrage.  One ,or I could never live that way. Being the last to know.  And being told to shut up and go with it.

Seriously. This sort of thing could pose an actually safety issue. The utter idiocy of some people is mind-boggling.

Thankfully, DH and I are on the same page as far as SS13 goes: he is not living here after college or, if he doesn't go, after high school graduation. His attitude is, if SS fails to launch, it's the fault of Disney BM, so she can deal with it.

But this would be a deal-breaker for me. It's not just thoughtless, it's potentially dangerous.

I will add too I have ALOT of resentment towards SS20. He has treated me very poorly the past 8 1/2 years. I really just don't like the kid and don't want any sort of relationship. SO stresses out constantly over the dynamics in house that he basically allowed IMO. SS19 can't stand him but SO weirdly has more of a focus on my relationship with SS20 over the relationship between his kids. 

SS20 "doesn't want" to have a bad relationship with me but he proves time and time again he isn't mature enough to have good relationships basically with everyone in the house. 

There is just sooo many things through the years that I refuse to "forgive and forget" like SO wants me to do. 

SO isn't wrong (sometimes) when he says you only don't like something because it has to do with SS20... yeah SO because I'm just suppose to be ok with everything right?? He just gets to do whatever he wants all the time with no consequences.... doesn't help with anything in the house, eats whatever he wants, makes a mess and just gets told 10000xs to pick up after himself.... then you wonder why I snap... HELLO!

Is whistling past the graveyard.   Not good to invite unknowns, possibly psycho maniacs, into your home trying to keep his overgrown ferals entertained!

It was fine. Seems like a nice kid. They were actually out yesterday (SO and I are off Wednesdays) which is RARE for SS20 because he doesn't do much outside of work. It was just more of the short notice and SO expecting me to remember something he told me over a month ago with no specific dates and no word since! 

This guy doesn't rememebr something I told him 5 minutes prior.  I said that to him too.

I'm relieved that things went so well. OTOH, I'd grab the opportunity hammer home to your husband that anything that affects you , from near or  far, is to be written clearly on the calendar in the kitchen (in my case, sent via email) so you can plan ahead. My DH had a terrible habit of telling one of our daughters but remembering that it was me he told and getting annoyed when I  get annoyed that something is going on that I'm not aware  - hence the email.
