My sister just got engaged. Like me, she has no children of her own, but she has been teaching kids all her life. She's great with kids. I don't work with kids, just deal with grownups who act like kids Wink

Her fiance is a wonderful man, great sense of humor. I'm so happy for her. Her fiance has two daughters, age 9 and 12. He gets them EOWE.

SS16 was traumatized by Mac and cheese

Recounting different parts of argument with SO. When SS lived with BM full time, BM was absent and neglectful and SS' sisters would just make him boxed mac and cheese all the time. This is SO's explanation for why SS wouldn't eat the pasta with cheese sauce I made, which was not boxed but made from scratch. SO says the reason for SS not eating the rest of my cooking is because SS doesn't like me. Oh, boo hoo.

I got sarcastic with SS16, SO scolded me in front of SS.

Enraged, of course. After he scolded me in front of SS. Not the first time he's done this. He never scolds SS16 in front of me, he always talks to SS16 afterwards out of my sight.

SO and SS16 suddenly got all chummy and had a father son talk in the back room, which apparently I interfered with when I stopped in to say hello, I knew something was up. They have so much time together so many opportunities to talk and they never do. I leave both of them alone a lot on the weekends.

SS and his fuzzy lip

Why do I feel so resentful and negative today, mostly towards SS16. I live with him full time but lately he mostly hides in his room playing x box. Still, though I want to get one of my bikini wax strips and just rip that redneck fuzz off his lip that he refuses to shave. He looks horrendous.

I hate it when I feel resentful and I can't put my finger on the cause of resentment. I hate it when the little things start really bugging me. Ugh.

SO tells me he loves me when he sees me cooking and cleaning.

It doesn't seem to happen when I'm being a sloth lying on the sofa watching my Lizard Lick Towing marathon on tv.

He used to go on about how none of his previous wives cooked and only one of them cleaned. Ive always hated this. He just gets this huge grin on his face and says, "you know what? I love you."

I've called him out in it a few times, in a nice way but he's still doing it. It's starting to get on my nerves.

Don't get me wrong, Im glad he's telling me this, but he only seems to do it when I cook and clean.

SS treating me like a ghost again, and not eating anything I cook.

I can handle SS16 treating me like I don't exist and like I'm not in the room. I really don't care as long as he doesn't expect to benefit from any of my efforts. Mainly cooking. The boy has refused to eat most of what I cook.

And that's fine too, but soon enough I'm going to make homemade pizza, crust and sauce made from scratch and he'll want to eat it and I don't want to let him. I'm tired of SS treating me like most of my cooking is disgusting and only picking and choosing what he wants on a rare occasion.

I've got to stop talking about my home life with my mom.

I try not to discuss SS16 with my mom, but today we somehow got on that topic. My mom keeps telling me how strict I am, and that a lot of what SS16 does is normal bratty teenage crap. No, that's the problem he's emotionally 10 years old, an does not act like a normal bratty teenager. When he's thirty is when he'll finally start learning how to act like a teenager.

SS16 giggling like a girl, almost thought he finally got a girlfriend

Heard high pitched giggling in the living room, thought it sounded like a girl, realized, oh, that's just SS with his headphones on laughing at his videos...with no prospects of getting a girlfriend as long as he keeps giggling like a girl.

What...a...big...dork.
