And now for the double standard

So DH excused YSS recently from somethings YSS took and was supposed to retrieve from BMs house by saying that it's BMs fault it can't be found as her house is so messy and she buys so much stuff that it's probably lost in the mix and immpossible to find.

Today I commented on how something at our house needed to be fixed. (The reason it's broken is DS and he's supposed to help fix it.) A pet took out part of a screen. DH made the comment that he'd have to get the pet proof kind of screening this time so it doesn't break. I said teasingly that oh, so it's his fault it ripped, not DSs, because if the pet proof stuff had been used in the first place what DS did wouldn't have ended in a broken screen.

DH said I was trying to tie the two things. I told him there was no trying involved. And asked if he wanted me to go there? He said no and that it wasn't appropriate to bring up the past.

Uh, the thing with YSS ended yesterday. The screen has been broken for about eight months. Which one is in the past? Come on. You can excuse your kid but I can't make a huge leap too to excuse mine? (Which I wasn't. DS was the cause of the breakage. Plain and simple.)
