Hay-ell No! Don't make me the evil one.

So my kid forgot to do a simple thing last night that he's ALWAYS forgetting lately. I've gotten on his ass about it and it's just not happening. DH noticed it, let me know, and asked if I would like him to address it.

I said sure, glad it's not just me saying something.

This is how he started: "Redredwine said I should tell you..."

And DH heard me roar from the the other room: "I don't THINK so!"

WTF with both ExH and DH continually making me the bad guy. I get that kids start to move away from their parents and tell them less but I seriously think my relationship with my kid would be better if both of "the dads" didn't always make me the bad guy. They always use me as the reason for telling my kid something he won't like.

AAaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!!!

"Good thing he's cute cause he sure is a slow learner....."

Thanks for the laugh!

DH didn't want me thought of as the bad guy with the skids...but he's okay throwing me under the bus with my own kid. And my ExH does this too. It really has gotten to the point where they both use my name in vain and my son thinks I'm super controlling.

In fact, my kid asked me why I was upset about an issue and I didn't even know about it! ExH had told him I was upset rather than address his own stance on it. At least that time my kid got a clue that maybe it's not all me. I think I need to have a talk with him that sometimes I have nothing to do with situations and yet my name gets used as the hammer.

My DH is famous for the "SM called me and told me that you blah blah blah".... Yeah, LOVE that one!
