I have just noticed another strange thing SS does

SS11 is a weird kid. Awkward, gross, zero social skills, and just a hard kid to even have a conversation with. Like, I will ask him a questions such as "What snacks do you want me to buy for your lunch this week?" and he will just stare at me blankly for a few seconds and mumble an answer as if I have annoyed him somehow. But I have just noticed that he has another strange thing he does and I'm guess it stems from evil BM's hatred for me and enmeshed parenting. 

Anytime DH compliments me on anything (i.e. a meal I cook, a nice outfit I have on, a promotion at work) SS11 chimes in with a negative comment about me. Every. Flipping. Time. Last night Wheel of Fortune was on and I had answered most of the puzzles before the contestants did and DH says "She's really good at this game isn't she??" SS stares over at me and says "Well I bet she wouldn't do good if she was actually on the show". Not that I care one bit what this kid thinks but it's just annoying as hell. 

And he also gets super protective of DH if I say anything negative about him. DH and I joke around a lot and poke at each other for fun. But god forbid, if I make a comment about DH's terrible driving or his horrible taste in music or anything else for that matter SS will jump to his defense and start telling me how great his dad is. Mind you, these are the ONLY times he has anything nice to say about his father. Gahhh I can't stand when these kids are in my house!!

No matter who it's from it's always crappy getting negative comments. Even if you don't actually care about the person saying them. Sorry you have to deal with this

SS stares over at me and says "Well I bet she wouldn't do good if she was actually on the show".

And your husband does what, when this happens? Kid needs to be put in his place and if his dad won't do it, you should.

My SD knew better than to talk to adults like that.

My husband laughs because he seems to think SS is joking around. He's not joking around.

This is not a "strange thing", it is downright rude! What is strange, however, is how your DuH finds it amusing. Kick his arse and spell it out for him next time.

Disrespect you.  That why you feel the way you do.  Your main problem is DH for not parenting his kid to be a person.

I have stopped cooking dinner on the nights my bios aren't home. Every meal I used to cook would receive a rude comment from SS about how his mom makes this dish better, something tastes weird, or he prefers his dad's cooking. And anytime anyone else would tell me something I cooked was good another smart ass negative remark would follow from SS. Again, you'd think my DH would jump in and say something to stop this but he just sat there. Wouldn't want to upset his babies...
