I confronted Loghead tonight about the lack of support and concern he showed .o me the other night after PITA15 totally blew up on us, calling me names and saying awful things about me...

He had the nerve to suggest that I brought it on because I wouldn't allow PITA to use the laptop to do his homework. "He didn't make the connection that you were punishing him for ignoring the mess the dog made. He just thought you were being cruel, and he said things he didn't mean..,"

(The puppy we were babysitting destroyed the trash and left a mess all over the house the skids totally ignored it, expecting me to clean it when I got home...)

Bullshit PITA didn't make the connection, and didn't mean what he said... He's 15. He knows what the f is up...

I just told Loghead that PITA was smarter than that, and that he (Loghead) was crazy if I was gonna sit back and take the blame... He hasn't spoken to me since.

BS. I am not taking your kids' crap any more. Nope. You will be in for a rude awakening, my friend....

Last Wife...

Ahh... Sounds familiar...I completely love my SS11 and we overall have a great relationship (much closer than he and BM) but he is at the wonderful preteen/ puberty stage and has become a bit of a wise a$$ and can be a little moody sometimes. The other day he was being a normal "tweener" and i was having a convo with him about his attitude and how it can be perceived. I told him "to take a step back" and the little punk Smile literally took a step back... i was pretty mad at the time because it was disrepectful and i sent him to his room. DH when told about made some comment to the effect that perhaps SS didnt understand the expression.... um WTF are you kidding...i told hubby SS is not an idiot and if he honestly thought that was the case maybe HE was LOL...

Ofcourse DH took the approach he had because SS went huffing and puffing to bed room and was "upset" by the injustice of being sent to his room when he was in the middle of making himself a sundae for dessert! (I know... how dare i)...

Basically over these 10 years i have seen this trend emerge from time to time and it normally depends on how upset SS gets (DH doesnt want to be the least favored parent)... too damn bad though. as parents our role is to shape and guide them in their path to adulthood and sometimes that involves a little (or in your case... maybe more) discipline. dont back down...
