Glad to be spending most of the day away from DH and SS13
Yesterday was so weird. SS comes home from school, tries to get on his computer first before doing homework and of course whines at us, but does his homework. Then, as soon as it's done, is all of a sudden up on his feet saying "Time to do my extra chores!" I mean, with excitement and everything. (Backgrond: extra chores so he can earn money faster to buy a card game he wants) He even did today's chore yesterday. I don't know what they fed him at school lunch yesterday, but they need to keep that up.
This morning, I didn't wake up to my alarm, consequently not waking him up for school. Yeah, yeah, I know, he's 13 and old enough to wake himself up. He's never had to do that before in his life, so we're working him up to that point. I remember that it wasn't always the easiest thing as a teenager. Anyway, DH comes home from work at 8:30 this morning right when I'm crawling out of bed. I was freaking out because of the time and of course DH was irritated that SS was still asleep in bed.
Got SS up and the skid took his precious time getting ready this morning. On a regular morning he's dressed and ready to go within 5-10 minutes, so taking a long time isn't about him 'still waking up' like DH tried to say. He forgot his umbrella, and texts me while he's walking to school...
SS: I know it sounds like I dont wanna stay but i do but dont i need someone to sign me in...cause my mom always had to sign me in (At his old school in another state, I called the school, he could go in fine on his own)
SS: oh and i have no umbrella
ME: Are you at school now? (this is almost 40 minutes after he left...the school is a 15-20 minute walk)
SS: no ._.
ME: ?
SS: im not and its going to rain very soon
ME: I can't magically deliver an umbrella to you dude, sorry
SS: its fine, i guess
ME: walk faster
I saw this as SS attempting to be manipulative, trying to get me to say 'oh, just come back home, you don't have to go to school today, we'll just make up some excuse'. That sure as hell wasn't going to happen. I said as much to DH and he jumped down my throat about how he doesn't like people talking about his son like that. WTF?!? DH...you just told me 10 minutes ago you knew the little beast was trying to manipulate you into staying home all day when he was already late, but if I say something about him possibly manipulating me, it's wrong?! Uh no, sweetheart. Not how it works.
Thankfully I'm leaving soon for an appointment with my orthopedic about my foot and and then have a meeting after that. So I'll be home long enough in between to drop off some stuff for dinner, and then after the meeting I'll come home, eat, do my homework, and see DH for maybe an hour and a half before he goes to work. And I can totally ignore SS.
Because those two assholes get NOTHING from me today. Except foodstuffs, because DH has to cook it.

Well it is ok for him to talk crap about his kid but not anyone else. I think that is fairly common. I can vent and complain about my mom or dad or kids to DH...but I don't want him to talk about them in a bad way. Just human nature I think.
I wonder where he was at when he called 40 minutes after he left and the school is only 15 minutes away. Did anyone find out what he was doing?
Probably just taking his
Probably just taking his sweet time hoping it would rain and he'd get soaking wet. That way he'd absolutely have to come back home to dry off and change, and could argue to not return to school.
He couldn't have gone too far. He doesn't know the neighborhood, and the only route he knows is to and from school.
Maybe you should take your
Maybe you should take your own advice. Time after time you're on here waving your judgement stick like you're the high priestess of propriety yet you consistently insult and point fingers at people who are posting on here to vent or ask advice. Or, is the "advice" you give just how we should all behave and doesn't apply to you?
Really. You're ordering me
Really. You're ordering me to "get over it"? And, yes, what I said does have to do with this thread. It has to do with the fact that you're a self righteous snot who is constantly grilling people instead of either providing some type of supportive feedback or simply moving on. I've spent years watching you play holier than thou on here and I think it's well past time someone called you out on it!
And, you clearly "give a shit" because you felt the need to post a condescending reply to my comment. What's wrong, sue, don't like when someone calls you out on your attitude?
Hold up a second there... I
Hold up a second there...
I said that I "saw this as SS being manipulative and told DH as much". Never once did I tell DH that his son is manipulative. Only that I personally felt his son was trying to manipulate me. I make it a point to word things from an 'I' point of view, instead of a 'you' point of view.
When he's told me to be completely honest with him about how I feel, in regards to everything, including SS, then I'm going to be damn honest, but not accusatory.
I would LOVE it if he would
I would LOVE it if he would get up to the alarm on his phone. He's only lived with us for just a little under two months, so we are changing years of his mother doing EVERYTHING except for wiping his ass for him. Unfortunately it doesn't happen overnight.
