The skids have been gone since last week for vacation with BM. It's been a great week. DH worked on laundry & we haven't had a fight at all.. Imagine that.. But it will be over soon and they will be back & I'm sure the YSS will be in rare form and DH will let him be wild.

So things "appeared" to be a little better ... Hubby was backing me up until the shampoo being dumped out issue. Today I got up and got myself and the 2 SKs ready for church. When SS 8 was in the shower I walked by and said hurry other ppl still need showers (he left the door open and was just sitting in the shower floor). So I told DH he needed to go make him hurry before the hot water was out. He yelled out hurry up. I walk by and he said I'm done washing. I said ok well turn the water off and get out... He's standing there will a bottle of soap... Dumping it..

After a discussion with my DH he has been trying to discipline SS8 more when he misbehaves. Do I think it will last long? No but for about a week he has been. Now the issue is SS keeps telling BS to say shit. He even told him to say it in church. If he gets mad he will tell him to say it. He was mad DH had him put some of his laundry in a drawer as I was folding and it turned into him telling BS2 to say shit as I walked back into the room... He denied it and DH said he didn't believe him... No punishment really does anything for him.

So my hubby decided what our vacation was goin to be this year .. Which is to aocal amusement park several times through the summer.. Ok fine ... EXCEPT he doesn't have the money to buy his kids tickets .. We got ours months ago and didn't have enough to buy all of them at the time . So now here it is time to go and he doesn't have the money so he expects me to cover what his parents aren't. Wouldn't bother me except I've had to cover part if his bills like always. I've given him close to $500 this month already and he needs more .. Kid these kids are not nice to me nor do they mind...
