No, I will NOT be the bad guy this time..............

I hate it when the skids ask me something, and I answer.

Then they go to DH (away from me.....almost whispering) and ask the same question and get a completely different answer. And the skids will inevitably say "well, Wedded, said this or that."

This happened this morning, and after skids left for school, DH comes and asks me "why did you say blah, blah, blah?"

And after I explain - and DH totally "gets it" and totally AGREES with me, he then says "Oh, okay you're right and I will tell skids blah, blah, blah".

NO NO NO NO NO! You gave them the answer they WANTED to hear! Now YOU stick with it, and reap the consequences, because I am out of it. Do NOT ask me for help. Do NOT ask me for anything. AND if you complain EVEN ONE TIME about this decision, I WILL punch you. I WILL say I TOLD YOU SO.

I will NOT be the bad guy. I will NOT let you off the hook on this.

DH - YOU made this bed........now go lay in it......alone. Wink

"AND if you complain EVEN ONE TIME about this decision, I WILL punch you." This line made my morning. Way to make him suffer the consequences of his actions!

I loved this, too Smile

I hate that my SO will often say Yes, before thinking it all the way through. Then when I explain why I would have said No, agrees with me. I hate always having to be the bad guy.

Totally agree with Vickmeister!! Time to get on the disengagement express!! The skid are learning to "divide and conquer" making YOU the ogre.

"Ask your dad" should be the only three words you use when they ask you anything!

I totally agree, Auteur.

BUT, what pisses me off is this:

When DH said "Sure, little darlings. It's perfectly OKAY for you to do this or that....", he didn't know that he would be called into work and be unable to provide the transportation to and fro.

AND then he tells me about the conversation.

I tell him that I already told them "No." He is floored. "They already asked you?????"

I see you have an "ostrich" DH. Completely oblvious to the fact that his children are playing you against him. Not good.

He should respond: "I'll talk with WBSF and get back to you" or "have you asked WBSF yet? What did SHE say?"

Good luck with that. My DH always says "But I forgot!" :sick: Whatever BS he wants to believe!

Same here. That is what these men *SHOULD* say.

They might even have a happy relationship with SM if they TRIED it!!
