Things our DH's do that drive us CRAZY
I am in a particularly cynical mood tonight, and thought I'd start a place where we can post those little annoying (or BIG annoying) things that our DH's and BF's do that drive us batty with regards to parenting their kids (our SKids).
I'll start!
We were eating out at Outback this weekend. SS will NOT order off the kid's menu. Instead, he takes one look at the "real" menu, finds one of the biggest steaks he can, and says that's what he wants. "Ok," BF says. WHAT?! A 9 year old kid does NOT need a $20 ribeye steak! He didn't even finish it! (Of course, it was a 12 oz steak with a plate full of fries AND mashed potatoes!) GRRRR I'm sorry, but MY kids are not going to have the priveledge to order whatever they want when we go out to eat, and they damn sure aren't ordering a $20 dinner and then not finishing it!

did you have to pay
that sucks........stupid DH...see what i do in situtations like thatis for starters..im not paying......especially if we have skids.if they want to spend unlimited amounts of cash. Frickin let them. and when they are broke..too darn bad. LIve and learn. BUT butt heads!
my dogs will take those left overs yum yum
Of course not!
I don't pay when we go out to eat anyway, but I sure as hell wouldn't be paying for SS's $20 steak!

The "I suck" comments...
My DH is always saying, "I've failed as a parent" and "My kids hate me". Shut up! He has 2 kids who adore him (ours) and if he thinks he's a crappy parent, then change! It's actually the BM's fault that his adult daughters are mean -- he's a fabulous dad. He's way too nice to ALL of the kids. I hate the 'victim' statements.
my big complaint is
that SD16 doesn't really have much to do w/Dh since she moved back in w/Bm. Yet, he feels it necessary to tell her EVERY detail of our daily lives..............she doesn't care, and I am kinda choosy who I tell my life details to......ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Me too...
I'm always telling my DH "direct the questions back to her life!" I don't like my SDs knowing what we are doing because it gets twisted and used against us all the time.
NOT an excellent driver
My DH is the worst driver ever, he drifts over the center line constantly! I am terrified 90% of the time and have often refused to ride with him and will not go unless I drive - but then I am stuck driving almost always! but at least we are all still alive. He says he feels the same way about my driving, go figure-!
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth." - Vladimir Lenin
Same here
BF is a horrible driver. He just doesn't really pay attention to were he's planning on going and the route that he needs to take to get there. He constantly passes exits or turns that he should have taken, doesn't get in the correct lane on time and then has to cut through traffic, never uses his turn signals, blah blah blah. As a matter of fact he'll be "wanting" to change lanes or turn, and cuss the other cars for not letting him over...well maybe if you put on a signal they might! They can't read your mind!

my DH thinks his child must be cinderella
or some twisted version of it anyway. he's 12, weighs about 70 lbs soaking wet, eats candy and coke 24/7 and picks at his food on his plate. take him to a restaurant and he orders the most expensive thing on the menu and then sits there and chokes it back. it pisses me off. if i can take into account our budget, why can't his father? i mean, SS's mother has all of our money now. we don't have any more to spend on food that's going to be wasted. it's yet another attempt to 'win him over.' it's pathetic and i'm quickly losing respect for all involved in this game. sorry if i sound bitter. this subject just stirred it up! :o)

My DH...
Interupts me ALL THE TIME!! Ladies...I don't mean once in while, I mean once in every conversation. It goes something like this...
Example...
He comes home and says to me "Hi honey how was your day?" I'll say..."well Ok, but you'll never guess what the...(he says) "oh before I forget...." I say, "HELLO!! was I talking?" He says "yeah but you reminded me that...Blah Blah...and if I never told you now I would forget"...then he proceeds to say "Geez i don't know what you're getting all shitty about, I'm finished now, so you keep going??!!!
Hello!! :evil: Is there anyone in there?? I don't feel like telling you now because you cut me off after specifically asking ME how MY day was....I would never do that to him when I ask him how his day was, big surprise here, but I actually listen to his response!! And hey here's the clincher, then he storms off and is pissed off at me :O
This happens all day, every day....Does anyone see how this could drive a woman insane!??!!!
Catch xx
*Mean People Suck*
Double standard
This is a big thing with me and BF, too. He absolutely HATES it when I try to finish his sentence for him, or when I tell him "I know" when he's trying to explain something to me, or even when in the middle of him telling me a long long story about something, I ask him a question about it. I have to hold all of my questions until the end of his speech, and by that time I forget. He has this one story about his childhood that he's told me a million times, but if I say, "honey, you've already told me this," he gets all pissed off and says "I KNOW, DON'T INTERRUPT ME" and continues to tell me.
HOWEVER
He does all of these things to me, and is much more rude about it when he does it. What pisses me off the most is when I'm trying to ask him a question and he gives me this hateful answer when I'm only halfway through my sentence, which usually has nothing to do with the question I was going to ask. At that point I say, "That's nice...now if you had let me FINISH, you might have a different ANSWER..."

keeping peace at my house
we have 2 10 year olds, his son, my daughter, talk about some stupid things to keep peace? SS came home with a cell phone at easter,( so BM could talk to him everyday) so guess who had a fit? then DH couldn't take it anymore,and told ME to go get her one to.(i didnt think ANY 10 year old needs a cell phone) but I did (i'm a push over for my daughter to) so I bought her a juke ( better phone then the SS) were going to go broke at this rate. lots of compitition, but really, I think its between the BM and ME, I spare NOTHING when it comes to MY kids,she can spend SS CS the way she wants,its not like WE have a say so in it anyways, I work to take care of my kids.I wont let them suffer because of her. maybe this will teach DH a lesson what one gets cost twice as much.
