SS's hurt Fee' Fee's...
H and I were talking and, true to form, SS comes up to interrupt. Well, I'm sick of it. So I looked at SS and said, "Excuse me, I was talking. Please wait your turn."
SS got all indignant and screamed, "I DIDN'T HEAR YOU TALKING!"
I said, "Then maybe it's time you open your ears and your eyes, because my lips were moving and sound was coming out of my mouth. If you bothered to pay ANY attention at all -- you should have known to not interrupt."
SS got all weepy and pissy and stomped off.
I looked at my H and just said, "He interrupts ALL THE TIME! He's very rude about it. I'm starting to take it personally, because he ALWAYS interrupts me when I'm talking to try to get your attention. Then, YOU will actually stop talking and/or listening to what I'm saying, and will TURN YOUR BACK TO ME while I am mid-sentence to listen to him. I. Am. Sick. Of. It!"
H nodded and said, "I know he interrupts a lot..."
Ok Bud, then be a father and do something about it!
Then the little sh*t left the front door wide open when we have the air on. Remind him that he's expected to close the door behind him? He just freaked the f*ck out!!! Holy crap he is having a total meltdown!!!
H left to take SS swimming. Thank God.
However, I bet H is paying the price and that SS is throwing a Grade-A hissy fit because someone DARED correct him!
If anyone recalls, the kid's ego simply CANNOT handle even the slightest criticism. Even the smallest "suggestion" for improvement is met with a total meltdown. A straight-up correction such that I just gave him is enough to traumatize him for life. I'm sure SS is pouting and crying and flailing around. I am so glad that I am not there to see it.
You know, I think that SS's sissy-ass ego is a by-product of being parented by people who have taught him that he can do no wrong. The kid blows his nose and he gets a f*cking medal for it. It's allllllll about stroking his ego and NOTHING about actually teaching the kid that EVERYONE has room for improvement.
I've got my house to myself for a few hours.
I think I will make some dinner: Tuna Noodle Casserole.
SS hates Tuna Noodle Casserole.
I've also got "Death by Chocolate" ice cream for dessert.
SS hates chocolate ice cream.
Perfect.

I'm thinking you should
I'm thinking you should correct him more often! Call him out each time, lol. It's time his ego got a dose of reality.
For real, right? I think I
For real, right?
I think I just might.
It could become fun for me to watch the kid have a total melt-down over being reminded that he is to use a coaster under his glass.

You're beautiful when you're evil! }:)
What my H and SS clearly
}:) }:) }:) }:)
What my H and SS clearly don't realize is that I can make EVERYONE's life a living hell, should I choose to do so.
I could also make a "back-up dinner" for when SS complains about not liking Tuna Noodle Casserole. I could whip up a meatloaf.
Oh wait, SS hates meatloaf too.
My bad.
When SSs had a meltdown I
When SSs had a meltdown I would roll my eyes, sigh and say "Oh for Goodness/F---ks sake, grow the .... up and stop whining!"
As I am not a big swearer/cusser they paid attention. Or you could initiate "Talk to the hand" motion. Worked for my kids. And frankly if it is my calling in life to teach myssons some freaking manners then so be it. If they want to hate me for something it may as well be a good 'hate' for something worthwhile.
HAHAHAHA!!! I can so relate
HAHAHAHA!!!
I can so relate to this.
My son called me one day. He was sooooo mad at me. So he decided to tell me all of the things that HE thinks I did wrong as a mom. I let him go on for quite a while because, frankly, it took a lot of balls for him to call me out on my shit. Some of his complaints were valid, most of which he won't realize weren't mistakes at all until he is a parent. However, after a while, I interrupted him and asked him if he thought that I did anything right. He says, get this:
"I know that because of you, I am a good person. I know you worked hard and took the time to teach me how to become a man with manners and morals and you taught me to be a productive member of society. I look around at people around me and I know that, because of YOU, I am a good person."
Hmmm.
Ok, so you're mad that I made you do your homework and chores around the house? }:)
I'll let him have that little "grudge" until he becomes a father and he has to rides his own kids asses to be good people.
Kids can't change if they
Kids can't change if they aren't told what needs to be changed and corrected. I'm with the others, no slack, call him out on it. Would mean more if dh dd it too, but wouldn't hold your breath! Good luck, enjoy the quiet time....I'm dieing for some myself!!
I hope you can get some quiet
I hope you can get some quiet time!
I am enjoying mine for sure. I'm cooking some dinner and watching the news. About to bust out the Hard Ice tea.
I agree. Personally, I would
I agree. Personally, I would inform my DH that he now has a choice. He can either correct the kid or you will do it. And I doubt he will like it if you do it. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the corrections will be much more fitting coming from you }:)
Dude, my H totally is a
Dude, my H totally is a little girl when it comes to his son! that made me laugh in a "shit that's sick" kind of way. So true...
I'll start correcting the kid - every. single. time.
As a matter of fact, if my H doesn't start to do it -- I'm going to start to humiliate the kid on purpose.
Sorry, I'm bitter and pissed. This kid and the way my H acts when he is here, just pushes me to the edge of the cliff. I'm about to fall off the cliff and really start acting like an evil step-mom.
