" My mom said I don't have to listen to you"
I told SS10 to let SS5 watch TV. He knows the rules only an hour a day each or two hours together and by the end of the day if u finish all chores and behave you can earn an extra hour. He acts as if he can't hear me. So I told him once more and even recited the rules. He continues to stare on so I yell "SS10 I know your ears work" He has the nerve to turns to me and say " My mom said I don't have to listen to you".
Me: SS10 this is my house and you will show me some respect
SS10: Where's dad
Me: *unplugging TV*
SS10: Daaad
ME: DH get off the toilet and get out here and deal with your kid!
DH: *through bathroom door* I'm coming babe
ME: I don't care what your mom said you will not be here all summer disrespecting me is that understood?
SS10: Daaaad
DH: * running out bathroom huh what what happened.
Me: Your son thinks its ok to disrespect me
SS10: She turned off the TV when I was watching it and I don't gotta listen to her
DH: Who ever made you think disrespecting any adult is ok?
SS10: Mom said
DH: Is this mom's house? Do you see mom here? no why because this is my and newbies house and you will respect everyone here understood?
SS10: OH my Godddddddddddddd!
DH: Go to your room now! get out of my face
SS10: No
DH: * picks SS10 up by back of shirt and walks him to his room*. Lectures him on respect.
I am here with a headache. Good boy SS5 is enjoying a cartoon and baby is in the playpen sucking his feet lol. I really can't believe how SS10 is behaving and I know once he is allowed to use the phone he will call BM whining and BM will want to curse me out drunken trailer trash style. Its my day off Im not in the mood for all this

I think it's awesome you
I think it's awesome you stood up for yourself and DH backed you up.
Our horsfaced BM would tell my steps that they didn't have to listen to me and guess what.... they never listened to me and my DH never backed me up.
......until I threated a big, nasty, costly divorce last year.
Keep it up! But those little aholes will still keep on trying to push the limits. BM's who try to make life harder at Dad and DM suck balls.
Good for you! It just gets
Good for you! It just gets tiring when they keep that up into teenhood. And don't back down ever from here on out.
And good for you too Balless!
Unplug the phone tell him
Unplug the phone tell him YOUR MOM said you don't have to let him use it (or anything else he wants)if and when BM decides to trailer trash rant in your ear fill her an earful of exactly what kind of a trash mother she is setting her son up for a life of failure but teaching him to be disrespectful to adults.

If he pulls the "mom" card so can you... }:)
Your house, your rules. Glad
Your house, your rules. Glad dh backed you up. And I hope he gives bm a talking to as well about how neither of you tell the kids they font have to listen to her or sf and it would help the kids if she gave you the same treatment.
At least you don't have kids
At least you don't have kids full time . BM is dead from drug overdose so now I get to do her job. Sounds like you have excellent parenting skills. Wish my husband would stick up for me like that he always sides with the kids. I think he feels guilty because their mom died. Sucks BM is not helping things.
You know what else BM stands
You know what else BM stands for Right! LOL!!!
So glad to hear about a DH
So glad to hear about a DH who actually disciplines his child instead of letting their spawn do whatever out of guilt! Even if he did have to be dragged off of the toilet to do so lol!
Good for both of you for sticking to your guns!
*applauds* Don't we ALL get
*applauds*
Don't we ALL get that line? And good on your DH for standing up for you as well. It's rare when a BD takes the SM's side because of guilt issues. Thank God MY DH stands up for me, as well. I think we have the same DH, though, as MINE also uses the bathroom as a hideout and I have to drag him out to deal with things LOL
No WAY is a skid (or even my OWN kid) going to disrespect ME in MY own house! I highly doubt BM would take that crap if the tables were turned! These BMs who are teaching their kids to disrespect adults (out of spite - in this case, because YOU are the SM) aren't doing their kids any justice.
I remember just ONCE skid
I remember just ONCE skid said to me "this is MY HOUSE because this is MY DAD's house"...It came out of nowhere, so I knew she was told that...to which I replied "actually this is MY HOUSE because I PAY 100% of the bills, it is in MY NAME and I ALLOW your dad to live here with me...You are welcome in my home anytime...but until your DAD pays the bills and mortage in this house, it will continue to be MY HOUSE". Never heard a darn word about it again. lol
Bravo!
Bravo!
