Enjoying disengagement and trying to be positive....

Disengagment has been working so far. Last night YSS wanted to make pancakes at 9:30 at night. I was taking the dogs outside and SS asked DH if he would make pancakes for him. DH told him no that it was too late. He told SS to eat a snack. I am just sitting back and letting him handle his kids. I am not putting my two sense in. I am not cleaning up any messes they leave. If they leave a mess I tell DH that they left a mess and that he needs to clean it up or make them clean it up. I think DH is starting to actually see how much he let his kids run over him and get away with stuff because now he is actually having to step up and parent them. DH said that his interview went well yesterday so everyone please pray that he gets this job. He has a second interview on Monday. The skids are also going home on Sunday!!

"The skids are also going home on Sunday"

Yay!

Monday evening you'll come home from work to peace and quiet 'normal' . 

Good luck to your husband on getting the job.

Best wishes on your H getting the job and glad that you were able to disengage and allow H to parent as he should. In time you'll see that he will make changes and see everything that you said was true.

Hope the job works out. Letting him face the consequences of his parenting is good. Keep it up
