DH: Are you sure he didn't shower?

Redredwine's picture

BS and OSS use the same bathroom. BS always uses multiple towels (drives me nuts). He's under orders to leave at least one for OSS. They have two separate spots to hang their towel(s). Labeled with their names. They don't use each other's towels.

OSS bar is bare. There is one folded clean towel. Checked all over and the only others are on BSs bar.

Do I care? No. Was collecting towels to wash. Gave DH the facts. Evidence points to OSS not showering. This is an ongoing thing so it's a pretty sure bet.

I think ExH is worried about his "little" guy.

BS14 went to his week away camp today. It's his third summer and he really has had a great time. When we toured the camp three years ago ExH was really unsure as it is very rustic. He was thrown off by BS muttering "this is it, this is the place where something will happen." ExH thought BS was nervous but BS and I got there about half an hour ahead of ExH and BS was instantly enamored of the place because he *knew* this was where he'd have stories and things to tell afterward. "Things will happen here" wasn't ominous, it was hopeful foreshadowing.

Eeww

DH just told me that when he borrowed one of the skids phones the other day while out because his was dead to text me and let me know something...he noticed something interesting. The contact name in the skids phone for BM reads "Birth Mother (mom)."

Our morbid curiousity is whether the skid put it in like that or if BM did that herself. (No, the skids do not call me mom.)

Either way our reaction is: eeewww.

Does the poop thing never end in step families?!

BS and OSS are both 14. YSS is 12.5. Seems as though school letting out also means that they get to take a break from paying attention to hygiene...since there are no peers to impress or to keep from teasing you. All of them are somehow getting crap (literal, not figurative) on the back of the seat, either the top or the underside.

The other night DH found some and figured it was BS (my BS, his SS). Fine. Could be. He was in there a long time though the others were around too.

I want to avoid being a Disney BM myself so some advice, please

BS14 has a very tight group of friends that he just got this school year when we moved schools. They all like to do sleepovers at one of the houses (not mine). I hardly know anything about these kids and families and DH, ExH, and I are/were concerned about what they do. To us it sounded like it was pretty loose. The kids decided to play monster pong (beer pong but with that sugary caffeine drink) one of the times. BSs phone had a link to an almost porno you tube video after one of the nights. (I check.) He's also a waste the next day.

Place your bets...when do the skids reappear?

The skids are/were with BM this week on a vacation (away somewhere).
This is DHs weekend to have them.
Last night I asked DH when they were coming back...since he hasn't said a word and that's zero in the calendar regarding this summer and their schedule.
DH says he thinks on Sunday for Father's Day.
Last year BM took the skids for a whole week for vacation supposedly but only was gone for three days and was home the rest of the time.

I believe DH first, DH believes Skids first

Had an interesting epiphany with events that happened over a couple of days.

When DH tells me of an infraction done by my kid, I believe DH first and go to talk to my kid based on believing DH's version is correct. It has turned out that DH has been wrong on occassion. I don't go in with guns blazing at my kid, but I do tell him to do/not do something based on what DH said...then it may come out that the situation is different.
