So it's been a busy week for my DS (my bio). A major project he had to do at work, that got viewed publicly, went really, really well. (The kind of thing grandparents come to see.) He's in a sport and made it into the next level up in the end-of-year competitions and is potentially competing at the state level. The state thing overlaps OSSs graduation; so if I go I potentially miss that (yet I haven't been told anything after asking several times and telling DH I was done asking). Then there's DSs graduation. There's a large party following with his core group of friends (they all wanted to do one together). OSS is not having a party, doesn't want one, not sure why.

Last night DH obviously expected the skids to be at the house as I saw a note to them about dinner (he came with me to a DS event---his choice, he asked to come). When we got home they weren't there and he was unhappy with something. Turns out the reason given via text was something wrong with OSSs car. I got the distinct impression though DH didn't say anthing that he was having a hard time believing it. (I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks it's my fault they didn't come.)

I'm guessing all of it combined is bothering DH (he's competitive and "competes" the skids against DS). And if he feels bad, he uses me as the person to transfer those feelings since he cannot accept them. History has taught me that if I express something positive about DS, or anything short of stating the skids are giltter-farting, rainbow-colored unicorns, it will come around to bite me. I do say positive things about the skids, and negative things about DS, but DH only seems to register the things I say about the skids that aren't a thousand percent positive.

What's your guess?

1. DH has come to accept things and we have just a regular weekend

2. DH is upset about some things but handles them himself and with the person's with whom he is upset

3. DH is upset and waits for something to be said that he can jump on to transfer his pent up anger and frustration onto me
