Does Anyone Else's DH/SO/Biodad Do This?? (Blog Hog Today--Level 3 Annoyance)
BRAG!!! INCESSANTLY over EVERYTHING they do!!
Is this just an alcoholic trait or what?
I'm from a VERY strict European background where bragging about oneself is at best obnoxious and at worst, a cardinal SIN!
Biodad brags about EVERYTHING he does--even if what he does is mediocre at best.
Example: "OOOHHH this is the BEST MEXICAN FOOD EVER!!" (after cooking one of his infamous mexican/asian/latin/english fusion ad hoc meals)
After I worked diligently for hours weeding in the garden and putting mulch down where he went around on the riding mower with a beer in the cup holder. . ."The LAWN sure does look GREAT--it really DOES make a DIFFERENCE!!!" (as he surveys the entire property)
Then he KEEPS on bragging as though fishing for compliments and expecting me to say "OH YESSSSSS GREAT JOB HONEY--the BEST EVER!!"
I am NOT a big fan of the "good job" overpraise movement. It loses ALL meaning whether applied to children OR adults!!!

AMEN! DH is the worst
AMEN! DH is the worst bragger every!!!! He brags on SD and his dumb ass sister (she has a phd with no common sense) constantly. I just shake my head. I don't even want to get started on the sister. Let's just say she was in school for over 10 years and managed to have 4 kids with 3 different men in that time frame with my DH helping to support her ass. Of course I ruined all that crap when I came along. Well she finally graduated once the money train stopped, moved up north, finally got married, makes tons of money and her life couldn't get any greater. I'm just tired of hearing about it. SD14???? oh this one! BM put her in a podunk private school because she was so antisocial . .she's just stuck up (there are 10 kids in her upcoming 9th grade class with 2 teachers between them). SD14 has never received less than a 98 in any of her classes at this school since she's been there. SHE IS NOT BEING CHALLENGED AT ALL. DH is constantly bragging about her grades compared to my BS14 who is an A/B student who is up against 350/400 rising 9th graders! He gets on my nerves.
Also I can't stand the whole "i cut the grass now praise me crap". You are supposed to cut the damn grass you idiot. I should not have to pat you on the back every time you take a shit.
Oh Lawd you done touch several of my nerves today. LOL

Well dang!!! I knew they were
Well dang!!! I knew they were all crazy
When he brags next time, ask
When he brags next time, ask him "why does your nose flare when you brag?"..just kidding but yes I have seen that behavior but they are my neighbors and alcoholics. Prior to reading this blog, I always chalked it up to "its a baby thing" though most bio parents don't seem nearly as bad with it.
He's just trying to make sure
He's just trying to make sure you KNOW how "valuable" he is. :sick:
Too bad someone else can't see that and steal him away. }:)
