I actually like kids. And I love my SO, at least I think I do. Or used to. But everytime his son is around, the stress levels just go through the roof. Even if nothing is going wrong, the anticipation is exhausting. There is definitely something wrong with this kid. It could be something as simple as highly over sensitive, and anxiety, but there is something wrong with him.

Twice tonight, I was holding my breath waiting for it. The kid was talking about his cat at home. And he and his dad were discussing the cat. (mind you, we had a meltdown at ihop before because he was upset about the cat being fat, and dad was saying the it was the biggest cat he's ever seen). So when this conversation started up, I knew it was coming. The kids face changed, his whole mood flipped, and he started punching dad telling him 'my cats not fat', 'shutup' etc. I could literally see the flip and emotion rising in him. And dad just insisted yes, he's a huge fat cat. Luckily, my son actually.changed the subject, and it went back down.

Then we were trying to play a card game (sequence). And I could actually see it happening again. He had to shuffle, and deal. Dad shuffled, and I thought the 8yr was going to lose it when he had to shuffle. You could hear a pin drop. I think we were all holding our breath. my son finally made a comment, and sigh, and I said quiet he has to learn and he said YeH, but u guys would have been rushing me, and laughing at me and giving me a hard time. I said Yeah, I know. But this is different. I think a little light went off with dad, and thankfully the kid finished dealing us 6 cards and it passed. That was the last round we played, out of two rounds.

Then the sulking started, and of course, he was miserable because of my bs13. Bs wouldn't let him in the room. And dad got huff, and was like he just doesn't want anything to do with (satan). I said he doesn't want anything to do with Amy of us, he's 13 he wants to sit n his room and chat with his buddies.

So I go into ask bs13 the deal. Ss8 was in there, and bs stepped out and SS was all over the new gaming chair .

And that when I went out and explained it to so. And the argument began.
