my mother in law knows how bad SS is...I emailed her to let her know neither of the kids would be going on the trip with her this wknd. She told me DH needs to stop getting so mad that he spanks SS with the belt. I told HER that we both believe in spanking with the belt if they deserve it..its all all matter of not crossing the line. She said we should give him writing assignments- ok yea sure! :? cause that will work.

My chuckie of a SS has caused so much trouble. Lately my DH and I cant get along...usually when I bring up the SS issues. the BM lives 800 miles away. She doesn't make any effort. She usually makes excuses not to get him for the summer. Now that she's had another kid with some random married guy, she puts even less effort into being a mother to the SS. Of course he worships her ( funny how that works). My DH got custody when SS was a baby cause BM didn't care or want it. He is a good dad but works all day, I resigned as a nurse to raise the kids but I want my career back at this point.

:jawdrop: ok so today the kids came home from school..they didn't have any homework so they just colored in the kitchen until they decided to go upstairs and play...the 9 yr old comes to me and says " he put something sharp on the stairs and it stabbed my foot"..so i followed him to the stairs and turned on the light...( keep in mind that we walk barefooted around the house most of the time)..my SS had taken a whole pack of nails from the kitchen drawer and strategically spread them on every stair...i was so pissed and disturbed..obviously aiming to injured someone on purpose.

I've noticed this through the years, with my previous spouse and now...anytime the kid/kids misbehaved mom is the first one the finger is pointed at...why is this? EXP...my SS gets in trouble alot at school so i made it a plan to make sure the teacher has my husband's cell on file for him and not me because im tired of getting an EAR FULL ...so she writes notes.
