Moods
DP is in terrible mood because his commute was really really bad. I'm going to tell him to stay in a hotel if he's so put out. Hell, he knows this happens. And half of the problem is that his car doesn't run right because he's never fixed it. Not my issue.
1) opened microwave tonight to use it to make part of my dinner. Apparently it's been used by SD12 who never cleaned it up. It smells, there's food splattered all over it and whatever liquid spilled ran out of it onto the counter. Tried telling DP to clean it but the usual, I shouldn't have brought it up cause he doesn't want to deal. He shuts it. I open it again and vehemently tell him to leave it the F open because it's stinking in there (and I don't want it getting worse.
2) so I obviously am not calling out SD12 on her missing school fundraiser stuff because it'll be my fault tonight. Have to wait till tomorrow. Have a very good plan to not be confrontational about it.
3) I cleaned up only my dishes again. Left all others and all the crap on the counter.
4) going to bet DP will ask me to take SD9 in tomorrow cause his commute was so hard. I'll do it only if he agrees to make dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He has to pay for my time at this point.
EDIT: after DP said some things like I always have something to say about something out of order (not for a week now) and him not understanding that the microwave is unusable at this point...SD9 will not have her normal good breakfast tomorrow and I will NOT be broaching the subject of the missing school fundraiser things. I will simply add $13 to what he owes me and that's that. I won't say a word anymore. No problem there!

DP's not an a## he's just
DP's not an a## he's just freaking CLUELESS.
He never had any parenting growing up and has no idea how to do it.
And doesn't listen to suggestions.
He apologized to me later. Said that "If you hadn't got after me as soon as I walked in the door." And I told him, "Well, I had to deal with that all evening and re-do MY dinner plan because of the mess and I was fed up with it. I'm done commenting on ANYTHING."
Sally, I was laughing at your comment because I WAS actually considering unplugging the thing and setting it out on the front deck. And I'll do that for sure if it's not cleaned by the time I get home.
IMHO what he should have done when I told him the microwave was stinking filthy and dripping stuff on the counter and it made me have to do other plans is march down to SD12's room, demand she clean it because no one else can use it and that's that. But NO, too much effort. And he'll end up cleaning it, not SD12 the precious girl.
I did end up not using it at all this morning, now he gets to clean up the stuff I used to warm up SD9s breakfast and lunch.
I ordered the book "Stepmonster" today. I'm so pissed. And PMSing. Beware those in that house if it's a messy disorder when I get home. I'll just take me cheese and wine to the bedroom with me in that case.
It's for SD9 - I am not
It's for SD9 - I am not disengaged from her.
No reason to be. She's also learning to do things by herself so she actually helps with that stuff too.
No way I do anything like that for SD12.
