Denial, I don't get it
Yesterday I pointed out to DH that our garage door has several BALL SIZED punctures in it... spots where the wood has been caved in. SD15 hits the volleyball against the garage door (using it as a back board). All I said was "wow, look at all these dents in the garage caused by a ball. looks like we're going to have to have it replaced at some point." << Notice I didn't say ANYTHING about SD15.
Him: "we don't know know those were caused by a ball" :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:
Please, please, please someone explain this to me?!?!?! When my son created similar damage on his own door frame from a mini basketball hoop, who do you think pointed it out to me? Yes, DH. And what was my response? REMOVE THE HOOP AND TELL MY SON HE COULD NO LONGER DO THAT. Did it piss off my son? Of course! But it's my house that I pay for, so too bad. Can you imagine if I was like "oh, we don't know the hoop caused that damage"??? SO FRUSTRATING!
Anyone else have similar stories of denial??

Ok. So I had just finished
Ok. So I had just finished saying something to SS8 about his behavior and when I finished, he walked away. I told him he should acknowledge when somebody is talking to him and say "yes ma'am." Well, he said "yes sir" and then ran off. I said men are sir and women are ma'am. My DH goes "he said ma'am, what is wrong with you?" I thought it was something silly to argue over, but pointed out that he did say sir and he gets them mixed up a lot so I'm just trying to help him out. Back and forth for a few minutes before DH finally says he didn't even hear what he said he just jumped on the defense bandwagon! And he wonders why we have problems?! Even little shit like this the kid hears his dad rally for him and undermine me. But I do feel you though. We have 3 boys in the home so holes in the walls and things breaking all the time with an "I don't know who did it/how it happened" excuse. Thank god we own a construction company! I'm going to go think of some more denial stories with my coffee. I've got tons! Haha
Exactly. DH always says it's
Exactly. DH always says it's because he doesn't want any arguing and tension when he's home because he has so much stress running a business. Ok, why don't they understand that if the children had structures and rules and knew what was expected of them then there would be LESS problems in the home?! It really is stupid.
Yeah, DP did something
Yeah, DP did something similar over the holidays when we found a broken drawer in the kitchen. He was all, "we don't know one of them did it." It was last in line of a string of things and I freaking threw the big drawer across the kitchen...and started yelling. Neither SD ever fessed up to it (I know now it was SD10) but DP did NOTHING. I don't let crap like that go any longer. I made DP help me fix it even though he didn't want to. Too bad DP I don't want to have to fix it in the first place.
DH did the same thing with
DH did the same thing with his now grown sons when they were teens. His sons chose to live with him because he was the "cool" parent. I moved in with him and the house was trashed and he didn't do maintenance for 10 years. One bedroom was covered in knife marks, hole and kick punches in the walls, downstairs carpet trashed from parties DH let them throw, Air soft bullets are still embedded in the wood floor. We're still fixing things up after almost 4 years of me living here.
This goes along the lines of
This goes along the lines of the "elusive cryptid" blog a little bit ago. Things break and disappear and even if the evidence is blatantly obvious, it's "well he said he didn't do it.." Ok. Sure. Guess the fairies did then. Dumbasses.
According to DH our cats are
According to DH our cats are thieves and his unemployed pothead son is a saint. ss30 stole my bluetooth headpiece off my desk that I had just put on the charger before he came to visit. After he left I noticed it was gone and said something to DH about it. "It must have been the cat" says DH.
This is what I constantly get
This is what I constantly get told when I point out things that SD8 has obviously done. Even if I see SD do something myself and then tell my husband about it, he goes to her and she tells him that she didn't do it. Then he comes back to me with, "Well she said she didn't do it." So then I've been set up to argue with an 8 year old. It's so f*cking frustrating.
"I felt crazy" << yes, yes,
"I felt crazy" << yes, yes, yes!!!
My 4 yr old grandson was
My 4 yr old grandson was telling me something about Minecraft AGAIN and he said something deteriorates ... I asked him what "deteriorates" means. His reply? "when something falls apart automatically." I think this answer applies to a lot of the SKids.
