Mental acrobatics and revisionist history

PeanutandSons's picture

Dh called to let me know he was talking to some family members, and apparently BIL has been running his mouth about all his nieces and nephews. About how all the kids in the family are out of control and disrespectful. We are both quite put off by that comment, esp since BIL sees our kids maybe once a year.

So fed up....is it June and yet??

Suprise surprise......skids came home with bad behavior reports from school again. Its to the point that I don't even as if they got any notes in their behavior folder....I ask how many.

I had already planned a fun dessert for them, so I let them both participate even though I shouldn't have. We made easter rice krispy treats. No thank you from either one....they decorated and shaped theirs... Gobbled it up and went back to their rooms.

They must have redefined the defentition of the word EXCELLING

Dh got a call from ss's after school program(different than sd's as they had to be seperated due to their fighting) and he is behind on payment. If payment isn't current then the kids can't participate and have to sit in the office. So dh says he's going to drop a check by. This was at 2....when school let out. So I ask why not save himself the trip and just pick up SS at the same time instead of dropping the check and then having g to drive back to pick him up at 6. Ok he agrees to pick up SD and bs3 as well. First time ever getting them this early, but that's another story.

in utter shock....didnt/dont even know how to respond

Dh said, in front of all the kids, that SD was his favorite child. What the flying fuck. Even if its true, what parent in their right minds says that out loud in front of their 4 children.

I didn't even know what to say.....I didn't say anything. Not sure if bs3 grasped what he said so I didn't want to get into a huge argument in front of the kids and highlight his comment even more. I just grabbed my two boys and we are at the park right now.

How do I even approach this?

i guess our "talk " last night actually sunk in...

See previous blog for background.

Dh just called and he's picking up the skids and bs3 right now. At 5 instead of 6. This has to be the first time ever that he's gone to get the skids before the daycare was closing.

Said he wasn't going to feed them dinner, and I still have to go get the baby....but its progress.

i really wish dh would take half a second to think before he reacts...

I was off work yesterday because bs3 had a stomach bug. I let everyone sleep in and took the skids to daycare (its vacation week for them) when we were all up. Spent my day with a baby who has a double ear infection and a preschooler who had projectile vomitting and waterfall diareah. Washing clothes, cleaning and disinfecting the entire house.
