Why do skids have no common sense????
Are they born that way or is it lack of parenting? So nurture versus nature I guess.
If BM wasnt a goody two shoes holier than thou Mormon (please dont think I hate Mormons.I know lots of really nice LDS people I just hate hypocrites) I would assume she smoked and drank while pregnant.
BF had the day off today and got the kids up and out the door.Very nice break for me as Im usually the one handling all of it.
They leave for the bus at 7 as I get ready for work.At 7:15 I go out to start my truck and SS8 is standing on the porch right by the front door.Just standing there.With one shoe on.Looking very ashamed and close to tears as he knows hes screwed up.
So I take a deep breath and try to maintain a calmness I dont really feel in order to keep my head from exploding.I ask the obvious question- "Ummm...what the hell are you doing?! The bus left 15 minutes ago?!"
"I stepped in mud."
Now I understand there is some mud around,we had snow and rain last weekend.But....there is no moat of mud that needs to be traversed to get to the bus stop ONE HOUSE AWAY.Its all on the side of the road.So I know this freakin kid had to have gone near the mud on purpose.Im pissed cause now I have to take his ass to school on my way to work.
I dont know how anyone else feels about their rides to and from work but mine are the best time of my day-I have my coffe,my smokes and my quality time with Howard Stern.Its the quiet between the storms of home and work right?
I tell SS to go change his socks,pants and shoes.I go to the bedroom and tell BF what just happened and that Ill get him to school.He goes to SS's room.
BF comes back into the bedroom and starts banging and slamming his dresser drawers around getting dressed.I ask whats wrong because he's rarely that irritated at the skids and of course its me he's pissed at.
Hes pissed because SS is now in his room crying because I yelled at him.So now "Ill take him to school just dont worry about it!" he says.
The freaking idiot was crying because he knows he was being stupid and would get in trouble,plus he just stands on the porch for 15 minutes?! Who does that!?
BF tells me he knows I hate his kids but do I have to be so mean??
OMFG.Whatever dude.
Yeah Im totally off the wall here for expecting his kids to exibit some common sense.They do the stupidest shit and never get called on and of course when I do say something its only because I hate them.
Im surrounded by morons!! :O

I am always pissed if my kids
I am always pissed if my kids miss the bus. Not that it happens frequently. I've got a 15, 13, and 11 year old and between ALL of them it's happened maybe 5 times in their whole school careers. I wake them up in plenty of time, I prompt them to get ready, they know when the bus arrives-so apparently they are dropping the ball if they miss it.
I would be doubly pissed if they missed the bus and then stood outside for 15 minutes and didnt tell anyone. I also dont really like my morning ride disrupted-it is also my quiet, thinking time.
Its weird though isnt it that I can be pissed at MY kids when they miss the bus and I am sure noone thinks I hate them, but because your pissed that his kid missed the bus-well, duh you must hate him.
Oh yeah,the kids know that if
Oh yeah,the kids know that if they miss the bus its their fault and therefore will get a major ass chewing from me of course,not from BF.
So they've never missed the bus before.Not since we've lived together anyway.If it were my kid I would have raised holy hell and I hardly said anything to his kid.
Also when BF calls my kid out on crap I dont accuse him of hating her,but its ok to do to me.Unfreakinreal.
Oh come on...common sense??
Oh come on...common sense?? Don't be silly!
sounds like ss gets his lack
sounds like ss gets his lack of common sense from his dad.
If my kid acts like a slack
If my kid acts like a slack jawed idiot I call her on it.I have no problem saying "Are you stuck on stupid or is stupid stuck on you?"
Of course with that one she knows Im teasing her but even when its something serious I will absolutely bring her attention to it.
Why is it that BF doesnt accuse me of hating my kid?
Its really pathetic that anytime anything is brought up about his precious babies its because I hate them.
Im really struggling to understand why these otherwise smart,capable men act like this.
I'm an ex-Mo... I'm wondering
I'm an ex-Mo...
I'm wondering if your FDH is behaving irrationally because of guilt. Is he LDS? Was he married to SS's mother?
The LDS Church aren't 'friendly' towards divorce and I saw many members go inactive and just leave due to being looked down on for being *gasp* divorced. If this is the case, maybe FDH's lack of confidence is getting in the way of him parenting his kid.
Why must it always come down
Why must it always come down to "why do you hate my kid?"!!! I got this a couple times, blogged about it a few weeks ago. we are human! When SD is acting like a spoiled brat, yes it frustrates me. When she doesn't do her chores, I feel like she is being lazy and I get irritated. When she talks back to her father, is disrespectful or doesn't listen to him I get pissed. BECAUSE I CARE!!!
