You are here

Just a rant

DH gets up this morning to run errands and go to breakfast. He takes my kids leaving me here to listen to the damn skids scream and slam doors. So I guess no lunch with my kiddos today either.

I hate that he got my kids who love him and are helpful and I got...brats I wouldn't even want to sit by in public. He generally chooses my kids over his for going out or helping around the house. If I say something about it he doesn't see it and insists he treats everyone the same. But I understand his kids can't ever to bothered to do anything they don't want to do and have zero interest in learning any skills for handywork. My kids like it. They like driving around to the hardware stores and dump and lumber yard. They like learning how and why things are done.

So here I am listening to the screaming and door slamming and thinking about how I will have to lock my bedroom up just to take a shower. Ugh for skids.

Ask him, how do you think it makes your kids feel when you take mine with you, and don't bring them along? }:)

I took away ss's door latch this weekend because he opened and closed his door 8 times between 6 and 7 am yesterday. I left the door handle, but took the latch.

I really have no advice, but the slamming doors reminded me of my "solution." Lol

My SD19 has this beat! Open-Shut Bedroom door, then open-shut bathroom door. Oops forgot something in the bedroom, so....open-shut bathroom door, open bedroom door and get the "something. Shut bedroom door, open-shut bathroom door. Ten seconds later forgot thingy in bedroom. Open-shut bathroom door, open bedroom door and get "thingy." Shut bedroom door. Open-shut bathroom door.

How many times is THAT in 30 seconds? Our hallway is HARDWOOD and I count 16 times. For THAT ROUND. And I have FM!!!! She drives me fucking insane when she is here. There is a loud clack every damn time, but YSD and I can shut our doors without making a peep.

This is a long running discussion. Turns out he begged the skids to go to breakfast but they bitched and whined because they were in the middle of video games. Middle SS told him he hates him and to just leave him alone. My kids were all excited to go.

The nastiness to DH was learned from BM and she encourages it. I think sometimes skids thinks nastiness to him equals love/loyalty to her. She tells them to say/do mean things to him.

To be honest, I feel so sorry for him when they are such assholes. I feel like sharing mine who have never had a realtionship with their dad is not such a big deal.

Yeah she only sees them for a few days a year and always sends them home early but the damn phone!!! Every fucking day calls, texts, skype! And heaven forbid if the phones are taken away! Then it is a barrage of 'keeping her from her children'.

She calls our paster, the cops, the school, the inlaws, and then tells the skid who lives with her how DH refuses to let them talk to her. On and on and on.
