The computer

We have a computer in the garage that is DHs. ODS likes to play games on it but DH doesnt want him to because hes supposedly worried the computer is going to die sooner. SD displays zero interest in playing on this computer.

I also have a computer that isnt set up yet. I dont want to set it up in the family room because that's where the babies play in the winter and I dont want to deal with keeping them away from it or pulling the cords out etc. So my solution was to put it in ODS room so I can just shut the door to keep the babies out. DH got mad about this, naturally, because he thinks SD is going to think its unfair if he has a computer and she doesn't. Some time ago I would have agreed to a different more "fair" solution. Not anymore. I'm not inconveniencing myself for no reason other than to cater to SD. Especially not with something that she wont even care about other than wanting to take it away from someone else. And DH can go f himself because I also know damn well that if SD was on his computer he wouldn't be worried about it "dying sooner."

Good for you for standing your ground. Safety of the little ones is far more important than catering to whining SK. If SK is can't see that the reason the computer is where it is to keep the babies safe, even after you've explained it, then they're a selfish POS.
