I have been pretty content with the way things have been going in my household. But for some reason today just blew up in my face. SS12 and BS8 were playing ball in the house and broke a mirror on the wall. I was going to punish both for not following the rules of not playing ball in the house. I punish BS8. Then when I go to do the same to SS12 he flips out. Screams in my face. Says he's going to kill himself. Then he says to me, his mom is the only one who cares about him. He takes off and has his nanny down the road take him to his moms house. I call DH home from work, he goes to EXs house and picks SS up. DH sits him down and asks why he did this and SS says because I don't like her(me). I was livid. After all I have been through and done for this boy. SS tells DH he wants to move in with his BM. There is a bunch of jibber, jabber from DH but he never gets to the point. Why do DHs think it's OK to coddle their kids when they pull a bunch of bullsh*t? I'm sure BM did the same. So here I am the freaking bad guy once again. Because for one I'm not going to take my own or anyone elses child talking trash. I finally blew up and said right in front of SS and DH, if your mom is so great she can do your laundry, she can cook your meals, she can take you to your practices, I'm done. I left and went to a meeting. Came back home and DH had SS up to apologize to me. I was still pissed so I told SS, no need to apologize I know how you really feel now. SS went to bed. DH looks at me mortified. DH and I talk about it. So I calm down and get SS up and apologize to him for being hateful. As I sit here blogging, I am still thinking, why doesn't DH squash this nonsense once and for all? I have lost my damn mind.
