Stage 5 clinger

Background: My SO works nights and sleeps from 6:30pm-10pm. Skids are with me during this time, which is whatever. SS12 is a nonfactor really- I'm surprised that kid hasn't started peeing in bottles so he doesn't have to leave the video games in his room. He comes out to use the bathroom and say goodnight, that's it. Fine by me.

SS and his stupid phone!

God I hope this is the last about this f’ng phone. In case you aren’t up to speed on the saga- SS12 totally smashed his phone last wknd at Crazy’s- immediately upon hearing such tragic news, my SO raced to call and get a new phone and pay the $100 deductible, without even seeing the phone or talking to SS. I mean, just imagine it- a 12yr Old going without a phone!!!  *clutches pearls”

Ok, help

Sorry to be a blog hog.

I am going to drive myself crazy stewing about this lack of consequences for SS smashing his stupid phone. Lack of consequences in general is one of the biggest things my SO and I disagree about. My SO either yells or repeatedly talks to skids about the same issue, but never a consequence. SS doesn't learn when he is just "talked to". I am so frustrated, there are times I just want to say f*ck it, this is all too hard and I feel like I might go insane from watching my SO not discipline. I don't know why I can't just let it go.

Update: I still think SS is a lying liar

Skids came by us tonight, so my SO was supposed to get to the bottom of how SS’s IPhone 8plus actually got completely smashed. Apparently SD was sleeping when it happened so all she knows is the story that SS is sticking with- the phone fell off the entertainment center, he tried to catch it with his foot and kicked it into something on accident. Oh, and the case allegedly wasn’t on the phone at the time because it was blocking the camera or some crap so he took it off, of course with the intent to put it back on. I call bullshit.

SS, the lying liar

So this morning my SO got a message on OFW from Crazy, saying SS12’s phone got completely wrecked. She then detailed the whole story, saying it was on the entertainment center and it fell off (interesting, why did it fall off?), and SS happened to be right there and stuck his foot out to try and stop it but it ended up kind of getting kicked Into the entertainment center and is so broken that even the insides are coming out. Hm... It should be noted that this is an IPhone 8plus (of course SS has the nicest phone in the house), which has a case on it, and a screen protector.
