I am irritated as crap so I am putting it here instead of taking it out where I should.

Back story: my mom does a massive back to school trip for my kids every year. She includes ss in is trip. The only thing ss didn't get that my bios did were shoes. She felt that his other grandma who lives in town and makes more money than my mom does can at least do that. Keep in mind I have never asked my mom to dot his, she just does.

Dh and I won't ask for things, so dh decided tonight to take ss to get new shoes. We live walking distance to a very nice outlet so I figured they would go there. Anyway 3 hours later at 9 pm I call dh to see where they are and get bitched at for "checking up on them", big fat whatever, I let it go. I wake up at 5 so by this time i am ready for bed, but I wait up because I know ss will want to show me his shoes.

Anyway, they get home I see his stuff and he gets sent to bed. A little while later I go up and find him not changed and playing in his room. I say "hey bud, why aren't you in bed?" And dh comes up behind me bitching that I just can't ever leave him alone :jawdrop:

Excuse me , last time I checked I was the only one who gets up with kids and gets them ready while his ass is still in bed. We are all gone before he gets up. F him! He is dealing with a screaming kid at 530 because I am not. My kids were asleep by 8, thank you very much!

Your doing the right thing. Smile Hope he remembers to set his alarm for the early am..lol! And you have a really thoughtful mother.

I agree about her mother. That is very nice of her. And SUPER nice to include Skid. It's the right thing to do.

My mother has a similar issue with my brother. She LOVES to do things for his kids. But she tends to do more for his two kids with BM1 who have no other active grandparents. My brother's youngest, with BM2 (new wife) gets WAY more than the first two b/c their BM demands it and she gets gifts from that BM's family. But if we try to do something for one of the kids, we are chastised by my brother, via his wife, that ALL kids need to be treated equally. Um, ok. So then why does the ONE child of BM2 get more on a daily basis than the rest of the kids??

OMG. For all of FDH's faults, he has NEVER expected me to get up with HIS kids. He has definitely suggested that I have it easy because I don't have to. But he, at least, recognizes that I did my share (all alone for 18 years with my own son) of doing so. I get resentful at the mere suggestion that I shouldn't enjoy my freedom now.

He has no right to sleep while you deal with his kids early in the morning, especially if he won't support you in making sure they go to bed at a decent time. Total crap.

Glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that. I mean I have done it myself for my DH but he was grateful and there were no issues like OP is dealing with like that.
