The weekend with the SS10 is drawing near. It is always emotionally charged. SS has serious issues in listening and responsablity. one year he "lost" his jacket 8 times. BM bought him a new jacket each time of course, but SS10 doesn't care because he is super spoiled. when he comes over and i ask him to do chores, nothing big, simple stuff like clean his room, pick up dishes, vacuum, put away his things, all stuff i have my BD5 do. only difference is she does it, and when i am on him enough and DH actually lets him do it instead of doing it for him because he is tired of telling him too, BD5 always does it better. -sigh- DH finally agreed with me that SS10 was old enough to be responsible for his own things. he is extrememly careless and breaks everything. he has a nintendo ds that he broke within months of getting. i love games and have one of my own, so what does SS10 want but to borrow mine. i told him if he were responsible i wouldn't have an issue but considering his is broken and the last time i lent him mine i caught him playing catch with it, it was a no. then he can never remember to bring over the charger and wants to borrow mine. no big deal, then i catch him pulling it out of the wall by the cord, then loses it, which only comes to light the next time he is over and wants to borrow it and it is not in its spot. he was the last to use it, and of course has no idea where he left it. i tell him it was in his care and i trusted him to take care of my things and to please find it. he looks in front of him on the floor and says i dont know where it is, i cant find it. of course DH starts searching and finds it. i tell SS10 this is his last chance to prove to me that i can trust him with my belongings and if he does not put it away he will need to remmebr to bring his own. of course he leaves that sunday and didnt put it away. so he lost the privelege. only 1 weekend thta he was there had passed till the last time he came over and DH is on my butt saying he cant understand why i won't let SS10 borrow my charger. i remind him that is was an agreement we made(me and SS10) and he needs to held accountable for his actions. DH throws a fit that its been long enough. please it was 2 days as we only have SS10 every other weekend. then DH tells SS10 that he will take him all the way back to his house to pick up his. 30 minutes away, and i am the only one who works so i will have to pay for the gas!! hell no!! the icing on top of that was SS10 saying that it wouldnt help if he drove him home as he has already lost his replacement charger. this kid isn't ever going to be responsible with BM and DH always cleaning up his messes, thus began the reign of the evil SM who made prince SS take care of his things. another wonderful weekend it will be im sure. :sick:
