Don't even try to make this about me!

Poor SS, always the victim. Yeah right, always like to play the victim.

DH and I didn't have time to sit down with SS last night because he left for work right after DH got home and got in the shower. So I told him to expect to sit down with us tonight before going to work.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, I had to get some papers out of a box I had in my previous office closet, now SS's room/closet. What do I find in his closet but a jar of peanut butter. We have a rule of no food in the bedrooms because we have a crazy problem with (sugar) ants where we live. I put the PB on the bed, intending to talk to SS about it when he got home from work.

I had to run to the bank to deposit some money, SS got home and went to bed before I got back. After work, DD and I had appointments to get a manicure, as our last chance of mommy/daughter time before she goes back to school. When we get back, SS was already leaving for work, and I forgot to talk to him about the PB. I go to get it from his room and it's not on his bed or night stand...I find it back in the damn closet!

I grab the PB, and then notice dirty clothes on his floor, AGAIN. I throw the clothes on his bed and what do I find on his floor...a dirty spoon. So I text him asking why he thinks the "no food in the bedrooms" rule doesn't apply to him but I find a spoon in his room. He says the spoon was from his lunch/dinner at work the night before, but "thanks for jumping to conclusions again". I am about to text him back about the PB, when DH says to drop it, we'll talk to him about it all tomorrow night (now tonight). So all I respond is "you're welcome".

I then get a text from him that says "I'll try to be out by the first if that will make you feel better".

LOL oh SS, don't make this about me, or how I feel. This isn't my fault, and it doesn't have anything to do with how I feel about you. This is about you constantly thinking you're above the rules, and breaking them over and over. This is about you throwing a drinking party in my house while I'm gone!!!

DH "says" he's giving SS an ultimatum tonight: either find a place to live and be out in the next 30 days or join the military...we'll see if he follows through.

Being a victim is so much easier than taking responsibility :sick: . My SS had learned this at the age of 7. Lord help me when he is a teenager!

My SS is 19stb20 and has never had to take responsibility. He's always been allowed to be lazy, and DH let him play the victim til I came in the picture and told him "you're an adult now, time to let go of the act of 'I had a crappy childhood so I deserve to be pissed off at the world' and make a better life for yourself". Hasn't happened yet, I think the military is his only hope at learning how to be a responsible adult.

HMP! My SS had been in for almost 2 years now.
He should have been kicked out twice so far, but they keep him in. THANK THE LORD!!

If anything...the military has made him more entitled that ever and has his hand out more than ever. He thinks because he joined the military, we all owe him something.

He has been taught that NO MATTER WHAT...he is better than you because he joined. Even a mass murderer, thief, liar is better than you if he was in the military.

:jawdrop: I honestly don't think my SS will choose the military. He'll choose to move out, struggle, worry his dad all the time, sleep on park benches, etc so his dad continues to feel guilty.
