So my SS went to spend his 3days with BM for the first half of summer on Wed. He was then being picked up tonight by my MIL tonight because my DH has to work and I don't have a car. I was great with this arrangenment to because he was then going to MIL's for the weekend. But no, my MIL just called and said SS can't spend the night because her power is off, not out but off. The women makes 3x's what we make and lives alone but she didn't pay her power bill.

I've been thinking about it and I think we all may have gotten married for the wrong reason. We all got married for Love right? This irrational love that made us all belive that everything else would work out. That his kids would change because us and our spouse would be so insync and love eachother so much that they would see it and be happy and suddenly normal. That our spouses disney parenting would stop when they saw how normal and right we were about parenting because our spouses would love us and want to support us.

So my ss is on his ADD medicine this summer and while it does make a lot of things easier he has started acting out in different ways. He has been mean, saying mean things he knows are mean. I asked my DH to talk to him and he was like he knows I've talked to him about it, I said that obviously that didn't work, so then he just acted like since he won't stop he shouldn't be punished because the punishments arent working. So if someone murders someone goes to jail and murders someone when they are released we should just not put them back in jail and let them just murder people?

I posted awhile back that I was making plans for the time when it is just me, my ss7 and my daughter while my dh is at work. Will it has been 5 days and it looks like it is helping. Plus the fact that he is taking his ADD medicine may be helping to He really liked the idea of getting stars for doing the chores and being able to earn rewards, not big stuff, $1 toys from doller tree or choosing what we have for dinner.
