i think dh is finally starting to get it..... hopfully it stick this time
For the longest time, Dh didn't believe me about what little turds his kidd were when he wasn't around. He thought I was exaggerating or being overly hard on them. He seems to finally be aknowledging their issues.
This morning I was taking ss-almost 11, Sd9.5 and bs-3 to daycare/school. The skids are already not allowed to talk in my car this week because of fighting that gets out of control. So we get to the daycare and I get bs3 out of his seat and walk in. I left the door open behind me, as the skids should have been right behind me. I am at the front counter signing them in the book and the two of them lose it. Screaming at each other out next to mycar. Apparently one of them knocked a toy out of the car on the way out. Niether would take reaponsibilty, and neither would just pick it u p. So they just stood there screaming at each other, being nasty as can be.
The daycare lady is standing behind the counter with her mouth open in complete shock and disbelief. I hand her BS, and got back outside. I make them both pick it up together (since I don't know who actually kicked it out of the car) and give them 'the look'. SS appears chastised, SD just give me her attitude stank face. I kiss BS good bye and immediately call Dh when I got back in the car.
I told him exactly what happened and made sure to mention that Ms. xXX saw the whole thing and was appauld. He then calls the daycare and spoke to each of them. Of coarse neither took any sort of reaponsibilty and completely blamed the other. Dh said that he told them that when he gets home from work at midnight, he's waking them both up to deal with their behavior.
He actually goes: yeah Ms XXX knee right what I was calling about. As soon as I said who I was she asked which one I wanted to speak to first. No shit Dh, everyone else sees how out of control these kids are but you!
But, to be fair, they do behave much better when they are around him. He even said to SD, now SD, if I was there instead of mommy, what would you have done? You'd have just picked it up right?......yes. And I think that's the most frustrating part.....they do it on purpose. It's not that they don't know how tovbehave orbdont know right from wrong....mthey just chose not to when they are with me. It's intentional. Dh goes: man its like a bell goes off and they are just waiting for it to act like assholes with you. Ya THINK? That's only what I've been saying for years now.

I really hope for your sake
I really hope for your sake that DH has FINALLY woken up to just how awful his kids are! Most times, unfortunately, it takes outsiders to see and complain about these Disney Dad's kids in order for them to snap the fuck out of their ridiculous funk!!!
And I would have handled it
And I would have handled it like this. Looked at them both, asked what was the problem, picked up the car and threw it across the street. Then said "Now both of you get back in the car before I throw you into the street as well." }:)
I'm glad he's getting it.
I'm glad he's getting it. That said, I think he should handle it differently in the future by taking away privileges during the day. Waking them up at midnight is only going to make them more moody, tired and poorly behaved during the day, especially at school, and it might wake everyone else up.
The problem is Dh works
The problem is Dh works second shift, so he doesn't lay eyes on the skids from Monday til Saturday. So if they act a fool on Tuesday, then they aren't dealt with for days.
