Got through the weekend unscathed
SS8 is back with his mom again now and the weekend is over, it didn't even go that bad but I am glad it is over. I really tried to activly disengage this weekend and it did make it easier. Hell I didn't even cook, my DH was dissapointed but he didn't argue. So yesterday lunch was Wendy's, dinner was spagetti, breakfast this morning cereal, and lunch today mac and cheese and not the oven kind I make. There is a real lower quality of living when DH is in charge of food. The only time I broke dissingagement was an argument over I swear to God, CHEESE, yep cheese, DH ordered a cheeseburger for SS and he goes on about how he hates cheese and he always does it and I snapped a bit and told him "no you don't, you like pizza with cheese, tacos with cheese, garlic bread with cheese, hell even grilled cheese and cheese quizedillas so stop saying you hate it, you don't" It was stupid to get upset over but I am so sick of the stupidity. The rest of the weekend I left it up to DH, they painted pumpkins, didn't help. They watched t.v., went into my room or into my daughters room to play with her. I find its a lot less stressful when I dissingage so thats my new tack when it comes to SS, hopefully then next weekends will be as good as this one.

Glad to hear it went well. It
Glad to hear it went well. It amazing to see how things go when you step back! Does DH ever make rude comments about you not participating?
I usually dont sit in the living room when SD4 is here. She and FDH watch tv together usually right up until her bedtime (which I fought for (that she needed A bedtime) but I think 9pm is too late for 4yrs old).
One time she asked him if I was going to watch tv too and he responded that 'SM doesnt watch tv with us'.. Uh ok!
Most recently, Ive stopped planning fun activities that take up MY time and MY money. Id much prefer to do those things with my BS9months when SD isnt here. FDH hasnt yet caught on and is still trying to figure out how to go with SD.
DH really hasn't said
DH really hasn't said anything yet, I kinda warned him that I was going to be doing this a few weeks ago and have been slowly getting to this point for awhile. Sunday morning DH did ask me to make breakfast and I said nope its a cereal morning, he didn't argue hust stuck out his lower lip playfully for a sec and that was that. SS is noticing though, before every meal he was looking to me when DH kept asking me if what he was making was ok and he looked dissapointed and suprised, well he should have thought about that before complaining about everything I cooked when I knew he liked it better then what everyone else was feeding him.
