I just do NOT understand DH
So he has this weekend trip planned to see SD20 at her college. He wanted to take our two BDs against my wishes, settled for letting them decide and they don't want to go.
So last night he tells me, "I wish I didn't have to go on this trip. I would cancel except I can't get out of the hotel reservation." I said, "I thought you wanted to do this." And he was like "Yeah, I did."
Um, what is up? So now because our two BDs don't want to go, YOU don't want to go? I thought you were going to see your child. So why WERE you going? I don't get it AT ALL.

Neither BD wants to go with DH on his little odyssey to visit SD20
DH is driving five hours one way to spend three days with SD20 at her college for family weekend or some such nonsense. He tried to push through on me that our two BDs would go, and when I got upset he backed off and said he would let our BDs decide. BD10 quickly told him no, she has activities she doesn't want to miss and they just saw SD20 a month ago. BD7 waffled more, telling both me and DH she wanted to go. But last night she told me she does NOT want to go.
Stretching the truth and outright lies
For those of you who want me to stop looking at SD20's online postings, I am trying. But it sure is fun/enlightening sometimes!
Two recent doozies (I am paraphrasing):
- I will always have issues with men because of my childhood (the way I was raised)
- People think I am spoiled and live with my parents, but I've been doing this on my own for quite a while
Are you KIDDING me?!

DH bailing on OUR kids now?
I know this is a petty thing, but it irks me. DH is now on a shift where he works four days in a row, all day. Sees the kids in the morning only two days and not at all the other two days. So four days they barely see him. Today is his first day off. He saw them maybe 30 minutes this morning and just informed me he's going to meet some work buddies for drinks tonight, so they will not see him again tonight. It's like he's already got one foot out the door emotionally, who wouldn't want to spend time with their kids after not having seen them in four days? DH, I guess.

Whew, SD20 dodged a bullet
Just found out that SD20's former boyfriend (the one with six kids with four women) is going to be a daddy a seventh time (with one of the moms of his other kids). Thank God SD20 got out before she became baby momma number five! I also found out that SD20 started dating him "before" his youngest was even born (baby momma number four was still pregnant). Who would do that?!

DH and I big blowout No. 1,234,567,890
Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. But...
Before I get into details, let me set up things. DH wants to take our two BDs (10 and 7) to see SD at her college on "family" weekend. It's 5 hours away, he works every weekend, she's a junior, he has gone before. Both BDs have weekend activities, BD10's are mandatory (agreed when we signed up she would not miss them). We discussed this previously and I thought agreed BDs probably could not go. I now find out:

DH is lucky he didn't get a fork in the eye
We are out to lunch (a rare occurrence for us) and are discussing this program available where the kids can have three hours of fun/play time and get served dinner, so DH and I can have a date night. We seriously have not gone out just the two of us for years. I asked for that for Christmas last year. I am still waiting.
DH says, "$40 is expensive for a babysitter." The program is $20 per kid. OK, so I know where I rate in terms of money spent.

Valuable parenting moments missed
I often think DH has his head so far up his a#s it's not funny. And yes, this pertains primarily to SD20. But there were so many parenting moments where he could have stepped up to the plate and said, "I'll handle this." But he didn't, because SD20 had/has him whipped.

Random stupid/weird things BMs do
This was rolling around in my brain this morning and I thought all of you would get a kick out of it and would have similar situations to relate:

SD20 offers drugs in exchange for work
So SD20 posts online offering a prescription muscle relaxer if someone will come clean her place. I know I shouldn't look, it's just so crazy. Why would you do that, and why would you put it online publicly?
