DH laying down the law...not!

SS11 has been in his preteenage mode of talking back and disrespect all year. DH gets on me about taking it too personally and needing to back off on doling out consequences, which I think has just added to his snottiness. This morning I over hear them arguing about how SS is creating a disruptive household, and SS at some point of going back and forth says something sarcastic and disrespectful back, so DH tells him he's grounded from media and SS loses it. Then I overhear DH tell SS that he better shape up or he's going to be grounded for real. Ug, why the hell do you ground somebody for pretend?! The first grounding should be the for real grounding! Grrr.

I get this! DH was AGAIN

I get this!
DH was AGAIN taking out SDs trash for them and complaining about how 'disgusting' is was and how they just leave it. I told him "Why should they do it if they know you'll do it for them?" He says that they should do it...me,"Then you don't touch it and make them do it!" "But it's gross!" he states. "And that's exactly why you leave it for them to LEARN that!" And he comes back with..."They don't separate the trash and recycle." Me, exasperated, "Yes you need to watch them and make sure they do it and do it right and that means you make the effort!"

Then I watched him finish taking out the trash for them and then he moved on to cleaning up all the dirty dishes from SD13s room. Fantastic.
