Well SS has gone straight back into his usual behaviours. This morning we were going out and as he had come back from camp with a load of washing plus his gear for camping etc to put away I told him to get his washing on and put all the gear back into the attic.

We were gone for 3 hours. Came back with something that had to go in the basement. Could not get across the basement because all his stuff was strewn across it (still not in the attic). The wash was on though. So, DH came in and asked him why he had not done as he was asked and put that stuff away.. the answer was 'I haven't figured it out yet'.   What??!  I told him that was BS and to get it done and as usual he had ignored our request.  When I went out of the room he then started to say to DH that it all had to be done so quickly and whining etc. DH told me what he said and i turned to SS and said 'quickly?? 3 hours is not enough time to take a few items up into the attic?!  What a load of c*rap!

So, when he asked to do something later on in the evening DH told him that he hadn't  'figured it out yet' . That stupid brat never learns. If it does it to us we do it back to him now, one day maybe the penny will drop. Or maybe not before he gets the boot anyways.

He is really Pi**ed off with us now. So, are we unreasonable?  using his strategies against him? he seems to think so.

So it is truly back to the usual grind of his BS.
