SS15 ruined DH's fathers day, why am I not surprised?!

My selfish SS is at it again, but I really hate when he does it to his own father!

Yesterday was awful because he supposedly forgot it was Father's Day and decided to make that everyone elses problem. I had booked a trip for us to go sailing for a few hours at noon, so since we all slept in I decided we needed to really get things in gear to get DH ready to go and SD10 was very helpful in getting things packed, but SS just laid in bed and took forever to get dressed and did nothing that asked him to do to help his father.

Since we were running late for brunch we decide to drive closer to the sailing center and go to a diner there instead, but SS starts whining about how starving he is. His sister got a banana as a snack before we left and I told him he could've done the same, but he starts whining like a four year old how nobody told him we were hot having breakfast at home, even though that was the first thing I said to him when I woke him up!DH was livid already and pulled in to the first diner he could find and then SS leaves half the food he ordered after he was "starving"and starts rushing us to leave!

When we go sailing he starts yelling at his dad that the wind is scaring him and yelling at me to sit on the side of the boat he wants me to sit on and yelling at his sister because she is making a slurping sound while sucking on an ice cube. Yes, SS is on the autism spectrum, but he is very high functioning and actually prides himself on "being like Bart Simpson", as if thaat was something to be proud of. He is just a jerk, that expects everyone to bend over backwards to suit him because all of the slightest things "bother" him "extremely". Whatever. It really just depends on the day because in the past these same things would never have bothered him.

DH was miserable with SS barking orders and then whining when DH told him to be positive and quit making the sail about himself. When we got home and had a nice dinner I cooked, SS and SD argues about who would have to clean the dishes! Its fathers day for crying out loud! So DH finally told SS he had to do them, but his did a terrible job and nearly broke a dish throwing it in the dishwasher out of anger.

After dinner DH wanted to walk the dog to the park, but SS started complaining yet again and took the dog from DH for not holding her the right way. DH had it and left us at the park after turning around and going home by himself to watch the NBA finals.

When we got home SS just whined some more about how it wasn't really a fun day for him, but that it was okay because at least tomorrow (today) he could stay home and do what he wanted. :sick:

I cannot stand living with the=is kid anymore, and it breaks my heart because I know DH loves him but he can't take it either.

I know that feeling. SS12 is ADHD, ODD and has impulse control and anger issues. SO tried but he can't deal with the boy either. Either he kisses his butt or goes overboard on anger.

I let SS come and stay for the weekend for Fathers Day. Everyone kisses his ass so he won't go off and have a meltdown or fit. He knows this and uses it to his benefit. He knows I don't play into his BS but I was trying to have a nice Day for SO since I won't let SS live in my house.

Kid got to spend Tburs nite and all day Friday with out of town relatives that were visiting. I had my grandson stay so SS would have someone to play with. Took 4 kids swimming on Saturday.

Sunday I run to Walmart and get SO a cool card the kids could record their voices in, a pocketwatc for SO to wear when riding on the bike, a cake that SS would like. I get home, have kids sign the card, wrap present for them to give Dad, show them the cake and then its...DADDYYY IMMMMM SSSSSIIIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK. We run him back to BMs....but he had to take a piece of cake. Then the lil snot txts all day for SO to go to McDonalds and bring him food...I want my gift card money....on and on.

Pisses me off b/c he wasn't sick and SO had to take him back before he started a 'FIT' and ruined everyones day. At least I tried ot make it a good weekend.

Wow, sounds like your SS is a lot like mine. He has Aspergers, but also Tourettes, ADHD and anger issues as well. There is no BM in the picture b/c she passed away, but that makes things worse because everyone kisses his but because he lost his mom, and that is also how they justify his behavior. DH doesn't justify it anymore now that he is 15, but when he was 10 he bought him stuff all the time and bent over backwards to bring him food and drinks while the kid watched tv and played video games, it was really pathetic.

I finally told him it wasn't going to do him any favors in life to treat him that way, many people have lost parents and don't force others to be their servants, which is basically what SS tries to do. I don't fall for it, but DH still has a soft spot for him and sometimes caves, but not yesterday. I think it was a real eye-opener for him. He could barely sleep last night, poor guy.

At least you don't have your SS full-time, but what a pain when they do that to your nice weekend!
