Doesn't see the correlation

So the latest "discussion" (heated) between DH and I is this issue:

DH is one of those pampering parents -Zippy is a "last minute Louey" kind of persona -gets up at the last minute -catches the school bus at the last minute and usually misses it-goes to his part time job at the last minute and is usually late etc.

DH's "parenting" consists of asking Zippy16 open ended questions like"

"Zippy-I would like you to take a shower"

Small Step

Last night was SS16-Zippy's ski night. DH wanted to encourage Zippy in the one thing outside of video games that Zippy would do outside of the house-Great!

We are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination-so it kind of surprised me that DH bought Zippy expensive ski's (which Zippy ruined on his first day of skiing last year-and by some miracle the ski shop paid for half of a new pair this year!)-so DH was feeling generous and bought Zippy $300.00 ski boots (NICE!)-everyone left the store happy (I was not there so that made me happy).

Valentine's Day

Had it's moments. DH had to travel Saturday re some issues with his ailing Father-so we exchanged V gifts before he left (I got some flowers and a beautiful hand painted dark wood jewlery box).

That left me and Zippy (peacefully sleeping until noon-THEN Zip had to work from 12:30pm-9PM- Smile )

I had a girlfriend over for dinner and a chick flick-lots of fun-

The weekend got marginally better as Zippy had to work again yesterday 12-9pm-

In the Interest of Valentine's Day

I wondered how we got where we are.

1. How did you meet your SO/BF/DH?

2. What made you decide to take on the skids with him/her?

I met DH through friends and we communicated on-line (as he lived across the city) for a few months before dating, we have been together 4 years married for 10 months.

SS, then 12 when we met was in a week on week off situation-DH and I never thought that would change for some reason. DUH!

For those of you who have Disengaged

Since last summer I have disengaged from SS16 and DH because our parenting styles are polar opposites.

My question is how many of you have sat down in a quiet moment (without skids around)-and actually shared, without arguing, with your SO's how and why you are disengaging?

I did and was surprised by DH's reaction-and now he asks my opinion (not in front of SS16 of course)and direction he should take-one small step I guess.

Hefty Garbage Bag Fallout

As some of you read "The Great Green Garbage Bag-incident-

SS16 Zippy finally came home after his work shift -to go downstairs to find the aforementioned bag.

Zippy was not amused-and in true passive aggresive form-simply dumped the bag on the basement floor -picked out his precious video game controllers and played away as if nothing happened.

Going to be an interesting weekend.

Long ago and far away - SS 16-(aka)Zippy, Endora and DH sat down and had a family meeting to discuss a few house rules when we bought our "together house".

These 5 rules were discussed and agreed upon.

Rules:

Homework
Bed time
Hygiene
Cleanup
1 household chore

(as you can see I am quite a Task Master)

Not Rocket Science

DH is in a band (recreational, not his full time job-they do the local bar circuit)-he had practice last night. SS16 has a project due Friday-DH asked SS to work on his project while DH was at practice-I am home.

DH is getting ready to go-SS16 is downstairs playing video games-I say to DH

"You know what is going to happen, right?"

DH goes back downstairs -comes up huffing and puffing a few minutes later-mumbles to me

"Let him fall"

and walks out.

I am sitting there thinking WTF??

I call DH-and calmly say
