Guns n' Brats

My SS10 is obsessed with guns. He has a collection of water guns, nerf guns, airsoft guns, and shooting games. I told my husband he's exhibited too much immaturity, lack of values, disprespect, and irresponsibility to be so immerged with them and it be healthy. My husband disagreed. A year ago, when my SS got mad at a kid at school, he threatened to blow the kids head off. We got a call from the principal and had to assure him we didn't have any guns in the house. My husband took away violent video games for awhile (but my SS didn't have the airsoft gun at the time).

IS IT WRONG TO WISH FAILURE UPON MY SS10?

Let me explain . . .

I have been the driving force behind this kid when it comes to accomplishing anything. Even now, after being shown for the past 5 years, he can't properly make a bed, cut his food, wipe up a spill, etc. Although, he definately has more motivation to do it now that Daddy's paying him.

I'm planning to move out when my SS10 comes back from his Mom's at the end of the summer. I just can't stand him any longer. I told my husband about it, he'll go along with it but he's not happy about it. My husband and I have a 3 year old son and another son on the way in a couple months . It's so sad it's come to this but I'm not the Mommy my son deserves when I'm miserable all the time and me and my husband always fighting. I love my husband very much despite everything and our differences and I will miss his companionship.

OH JOY! Once again, I orchestrated his entire birthday party. Had to remind him to give his invitations to his friends. Spent a couple hours with my 3 year old shopping for the gifts on his wish list. Meanwhile, my blood is boiling because it feels phony as hell to do anything nice for this self-centered kid. I know kids are naturally self-centered to an extent, but he takes the cake.
