Yes we have his kids for two days and boy can you tell. DH has reinserted his head waist deep into his a$$.

My uncle had surgery yesterday, so after working I got to pick him up, take him home, absolutely freak when his incision freaking burst and bled everywhere. (911 call for the emt's to put a pressure bandage on him). I finally get home at about 9 last night (no I didn't leave my uncle alone, I arranged for someone to spend the night with him). DH is sitting around the living room with most of his kids, youngest girl was in her room.

At 9:15 I get told by the oldest boy how they are going to go visit DH's mother the end of June, I already knew this because DH and I discussed his going to see his mom with the kids over the weekend(bye bye- have fun! whoot a week to myself!) I am not accompanying them because I just started a new job and while my probation period is up I do not have the vacation time accrued yet to take a week off. As I am warming my dinner up in the microwave and puttering around I hear the comment on how DH is going to take his bike to his mothers too. Hmm, you don't have a trailer for that bike. But one of his friends is going to loan him one!

Me: Hon, his trailer is HUGE. I don't think your car is going to be able to tow it.

DH: Oh I'm taking your truck

Me: .......... No the f**k your not.

Back story is that DH's kids are not allowed in my SUV. They had broken damn near everything in the back two rows of seats ($600.00 alone was spent ensuring the seats would go up and down again because they broke ALL the levers to control the seats. Cup holders cracked, pockets in the backs of chairs: ripped, head liner picked at until it was falling down,carpet stained due to spilled drinks/food/dirty shoes. DH got to spend literally $1357.00 fixing the interior because I flipped my $hit over it)

Additionally, my SUV is only a few years old, his car is ancient. He really thinks he is going to leave me in Florida, with his convertable that LEAKS during rainy season (summer)- oh yeah, his cars A/C is also broken- so he wants to leave me with a POS car and take my fully functioning truck on vacation, so his kids can tear it up again. Not. Happening.

DH and I excuse ourselves to the porch to have a discussion, I performed a cranial rectonomy (removal of head from a$$) and got him to understand IF he was taking this trip he would stick to our plan of him renting a car and driving up in the rental and returning in it. IF he was going to tow his bike he would need to rent a SUV and he better save more $. So I went in to take a shower. Problem solved right?

Of course not. When I came out of the shower getting dressed to go to bed he informs me that the rental car won't work. He planned on driving up there at night and "A driver has to be 25 yo for a rental car. We are driving up at night and if I get too tired to drive SD won't be able to take over."

........

Our auto insurance policy states no drivers under the age of 25 you freaking IDIOT!!

He actually tried to argue this with me, I had to pull the policy and show it to him in black and white. He was pissed because now he will have to drive up during the day. Well that was what you and I discussed. Yes but see HIS.KIDS wanted him to drive at night, so they could sleep and not be bored during the drive. So, you get to suffer? No sleep, increased chance for accidents, especially while towing a trailer, potentially allow an inexperienced 17yo driver behind the wheel of a large vehicle that is towing a trailer- because YOUR.KIDS. don't want to be bored?? Because of course the increased chance of all of you DYING is by far preferrable to the precious darlings who have hand held game systems being 'bored' for a few hours.
