Dh's car broke down about 3 weeks ago. He's been driving ss16 to church now for over a year and now with car broken my car has to be used in some fashion. Last week I was going to pick up my daughter (in same direction as the church) and suddenly I was hauling ss16 to church, shopping and picking up my daughter and "make it take an hour so you can just pick up ss on your way back past the church; oh and ss16's gf20 wants to hitch a ride as well". So I freaked out last week and was so overwhelmed with my one day off being all about driving kids around that my whole day was spoiled and I spent 4 hours driving. Today I am not getting my daughter and I am not doing anything and knew that of course my car would be asked for so I let the gas run low and last night on my way home the gas light came on and I just drove on home know it would be ok. This morning DH takes my car to the gas station for chew but doesn't put gas in the car, gets back and ss16 asks to get driven to church. DH actually not only asked me to use my car but for $20 to put gas into it. I said that he could take the car but I don't have money and maybe ask ss16 for some. So you know what he does? He calls his insurance company, has them put the classic back onto the policy, and digs the old car out of the garage and takes that car, even though it guzzles gas at 8 miles to the gallon - but it has gas in it.

Sometimes I honestly wonder where DH's brain is. Oh and what happened to the interview ss was supposed to go to and what happened to the $40 ss had a couple days ago? Oh and what ever happened to maybe if an almost 17 yr old wants to go to church he can ask his 20 yr old gf to come and get him, she works and has a car.

And to think I almost agreed to join this church with dh, now I am thinking he's trying to talk me into going so I can drive them and foot the gas bill.

I just don't get guys.

pray tell how I play this game fightin? I'm all ears! lol

It's a 1975 Nova and he used it for drag racing. I want him to refurbish it one day and race again b/c I love this car. But the other day he talked about selling and selling his broken down car and buying a new hybrid. But he has hung on to this old car through hell and back and so I don't think he's going to sell it. We were eating from the food bank 3 years ago and his mom was telling him to sell this car and his boat (91 livingston) and he refused. Rather starve. So he's a lot of talk and that car will continue to take up half the garage til the day I die. I know men and cars too cuz I have 5 brothers who are just the same!!

I know right, and then he just texted me saying he is sorry I hate his kids and he doesn't hate mine. I texted back and said I don't hate ss16, but I do hate how he treats ss like he's the prince of the house - everyone drop everything for ss - it makes us all here resent ss, but DH cannot see that. He forgot to let the dog out of his kennel for goodness sake just b/c he was in such a hurry to get ss to the 9am service all b/c gf20 was going to that service and not the later one so she could work. Nope DH don't eat breakfast or shower and don't sit and have coffee with me on my one day off so that you can get ss off to church.

I am just glad that ss16 is almost 17 and graduating in two years and will be going into the military. He's not a terribly bad kid but he sure knows how to get his way and ultimately doesn't care about anyone but himself - like most teenagers.
