Cheesegate

Sootica's picture

Earlier this afternoon SS13 was out in the back yard messing around and DH was in the kitchen fixing lunch.SS comes in and DH says to him "Please wash your hands and wrap up the cheese which is in the fridge,the packaging isn't sealing properly anymore",to which SS replies "No why should I,I didn't use it last" so DH tells him "Actually you probably did because Sootica & I have been on a juice cleanse the last 2 weeks so you are the only person who has been consuming solids".SS continues to pout like a little princess and starts arguing how he doesn't see why he should do it as he didn't use it.So DH says "Ok but please just wrap it anyway as the cheese will dry out and then will need to go in the bin". After much stomping,fridge door slamming ect I assume the cheese has been wrapped in foil due to the silence coming from the kitchen.

About 10 mins later we are all sitting in the front room watching TV and I happened to glance over, SS hands are filthy as in brown with black spots where he has been tinkering with his bike.So I said "SS did you not wash your hands before handling the cheese?", he starts pouting again and mutters again how he put them under some warm running water.So I said "You handled the cheese with those hands,so all the germs from your hands have transferred to the cheese now it's spoilt and needs to go straight in the bin!". The little jerk has the audacity to say to me "Well I don't eat either of those types of cheese (there were 2 different kinds) so I don't see why I had to wrap them up anyway!". I told him his attitude is unacceptable then I got straight onto the net and started hunting down a fridge lock.

I heard DH giving SS an earful and telling him he needs to go and apologise to me for being so rude which he did.I told DH I am sick of this it's bad enough I have a mini fridge in the garage with a lock where I hide my treats else they get hoovered up in 2 seconds but now we are having to put a lock on the main fridge.SS continually raids the fridge,uses things and leaves them open so food is continually spoiling getting chucked out no matter how many times DH has spoken to him about it.

Since I do the weekly shop (with DH's money ) I have also told DH I will no longer be buying any of the foods SS likes but only what I like if that is his attitude and DH agreed.When SS asks why there are no crisps I will tell him I don't eat them so I don't see why I should buy them.

Id lock the fridge too if the little shit can't even be respectful enough to put the food away properly or wash his hands. And I give your husband props for putting Jr in his place without you making him!

ChokinOnLemonz I definately will be locking the fridge,just find it weird because I never grew up in a house with a fridge lock but I guess it's because I wasn't a rude,disrespectful little snot who only cared about herself and no one else?! DH is very aware that if he didn't tell his brat off he would be hearing all about it.Maybe it's hormones but since my miscarriage 2 weeks ago my tolerance for bullshit has become non existent.

It's probably a combination of shitty kiddy attitude and losing the baby. Even if you hadn't gone through that, that kids mouth and behavior is totally unacceptable.

((((( hugs ))))) Lock that fridge and have some wine.

Yay, Mr. Sootica! He did a pretty good job. I love your plan for teaching junior about being part of a family or just roommates for that matter. Good story. I love Cheesegate.

Thanks ChiefGrownup I'm sure he will get the shock of his life when he attempts to hang off the fridge door like a monkey in the zoo (staring into the fridge while all the cold air gushes out) which is the usual modus operandi and the fridge door refuses to open.

Oh I can't wait to hear how this plays out! Tell SS his nasty mouth doesn't deserve any goodies!

Sadly your SS sounds like my SD19 (YES, 19!) with the snide remarks. Only difference is, my DH tolerates her mini-wife ways! Sad

Thank-you Just Wow, I generally tend to be quite a tolerant person but when I reach my limit then all hell breaks loose.

BarkAtTheMoon I will definately post an update once the fridge lock is in place so watch out for "Cheesegate 2" ....coming soon Wink

Justforthis what really gets my goat is SS continual attitude of not giving a hoot about anything. When he works and pays for his own food I really don't care if he is throwing away truckloads of food weekly due to it spoiling because of his laziness to store it correctly. I tend to have an issue with wastefulness,in this case, particularly as it was so unnecessary. SS selfishness of thinking about no one but himself also infuriates me to no end. Yes I know teens generally can be inclined to selfishness but when he has been asked to do something and it has been explained to him why, yet he still persists with his lip and attitude (this is just one example of many) then I refuse to live like that and say nothing.

notasm I intend to store that one up for future use. I already did the grocery shop this morning for this week, so it won't be until next week when I do the shop again until the penny drops "Sootica why is there no crisps, soda, chocolates???" the response will be "Oh I didn't buy any as I don't eat /drink it". }:)

Sally that is exactly what annoys me the don't care attitude. I love cheese too and I'm not going without because of skid. I have ordered a fridge lock and can't wait until it arrives. Yes I'm sure SS will whine about how it's "Not fair" that he can't help himself to everything in the fridge and spoil all the food in the process but I am beyond caring. SS attitude has got really out of hand lately and even DH is fed up of his crap.
