What Would You Have Done?

I got off work tonight and was in the kitchen with my SS17 and his friend. Another one of his friends came up from the basement and said "she" wants to talk to my SS and it should happen now before she gets any madder. I asked what was going on?? I was told nothing. This friend tried to get my SS to come down and talk to "her" because she was becoming madder. I asked again who "she" was and what in the heck was going on and I got told nothing.

I suddenly hear a woman's voice screaming from down in the basement for my SS to get his ass outside or she was going to be talking to his parents. He finally went downstairs and outside with her. The friend that was upstairs said he thought it was over a rumor my SS had been involved in starting with the other friend that came upstairs after my SS and it was the friend's aunt downstairs yelling.

Understand that?? LOL.

Anyway I went to the window to try to get an idea what's going on and couldn't quite make out except she was really yelling at him. I took it that what the friend said about my SS being involved in a rumor was true for I did hear things along that line. I let them talk for a little while then said I was going out to see what was wrong.

I walked outside and waited a few minutes then finally walked to where they were. I asked if everything was ok - the woman looked at me like she saw right thru me and said "Yeah". So did my SS. They talked like I wasn't even there. She had calmed down and by this time was acting okay with him.

She stood with her back to me like I just was not there..the same woman that had just walked into my basement and yelled up the stairs. Then my SS proceeded to ask me to take him to the bank and then to take him to get his license Saturday - like nothing had just happened.

I still do not know what this was about - I have no clue. My SS is acting like it's no big deal and this woman just walked away from me. Left me standing there with my mouth hung open like an idiot. I asked again and I got told it was nothing.

So I guess my DH works 2nd shift and anything goes in my home - and it's none of my business. Which is basically what I got told in so many terms and actions. So the cops could have gotten called and I would have stood there like a fool not knowing anything that is happening in my own home.

I am pretty pissed - my SS acts like he pretty much can do anything when his dad is gone and there is no control whatsoever. And then act like nothing is wrong later and I'm still in the dark about the situation.

I'm talking to his dad when he gets home and I'm going to let him know that something is going to be done. I'm tired of working all day and coming home to this house being a total mess due to his son being a slob with friends hanging out all the time and then stuff like this happens and I'm told it's none of my business.

Am I overreacting here or am I wrong? And I'm sure he wants me to not tell his father....would anyone keep this quiet??

Nope - no bank trip. And I will not be taking him to get his license this Saturday and he was told that. I told him to get this woman and let her do it for him.

I'm still so mad I'm spitting fire...

You are NOT over reacting. You are NOT wrong. You absolutely should talk with DH.
Firstly, it's your home and you have a right to be safe and respected in your home.
Secondly, I found it was important to let my SD know the first time she tried to get me to "not tell dad" that this was not an option between us. I did not wish to have her playing one parent off the other and I felt that this was one way to guard against that.
Good luck to you.
P.S.
17 is old enough to handle their own transportation needs, particularly when they are old enough to shut you out of their business.
