Oh I can't wait for the sobbing

I called the skids in yesterday to tell them that because they(supposedly, hopefully) will be with their mother on father's day that we will celebrate father's day this Sunday.

SS12(always the ass) gets really upset and starts in about how their mom will help them do something and it is her job and oh how wonderfully glorious the mother is! Yeah, she never did anything for father's day when they were married why not start now?

I disengage from the mom rant and say awesome, you guys will get to celebrate twice! And move on to what to do. Food, present, and special activity. SS12 is all about controlling the food in the house, so of course he is all over this. He tells me "Well we are his kids and WE know him best. For sure WAY better than you do!" and glares at me. Okkkkkk

And then he comes up with this menu:

Chocolate chip pancakes with extra chocolate chips and be sure to buy like 6 bottles of syrup because he likes lots and lots of extra syrup

Bacon but not crispy bacon the kind that still bends

Chocolate milk and Tang and OJ

a whole loaf of toast

BBQ pork

Chocolate cake

Needless to say, this is SS12 fav foods not DH's. I cannot even imagine BBQ with a side of chocolate chip pancakes. DH and I don't even use syrup! SS12 is the most problemed child of the family so if I do not make it just as he stated he will sob. But if I make it and then no one eats which is pretty likely he will also sob. I think I will have a migraine and not be able to cook forcing us to get take out and I can order extra sushi for DH which he loves.

I would tell SS11 that since it is his fathers FAVORITE foods,,,,he needs to cook it!

And clean up the mess!

That's why you never ask a child to make decisions. You give him a couple of options that you are willing to make and others will actually enjoy. If the child refusing to choose one, too bad, you make what you want.

I have done that for previous years. DH really wants his kids to suddenly step up and care about other people and do nice things. Since BM is a self centered cluster fuck and they have not been taught to do this previously, surprise!, it doesn't happen.

I am trying my best to make an effort to teach them and include them and not slam their head against the wall repeatedly while doing that. Don't even get me started on prior father's days!

EWWWWW they still make TANG? Gross! How as that lasted all these years?

SS did this to me (not in a bratty way to his defense) but maybe the first year that DH and I were dating, I wanted to be sure to do something special for him for Father's Day. I think I got him new golf clubs and figured we'd do breakfast. So I asked SS what he thought we should do for DH for breakfast, he said breakfast pizza!!! So I ordered one, we ran out that morning and picked it up and DH ate like 2 bites and then whispered to me that he really HATES breakfast pizza. GRRRRR I said, well that's what SS said you'd like lol.... DH said yeah, cause that's what SS likes. Oh well lesson learned.

Don't have to worry about that shit anymore... Wink

*bah* Fathers Day, another way for Chucky to let SO know he's not his father in his universe.
