SS11, the most dramatic sick kid I know
Both of the skids, especially him, like to make a mountain out of a molehill when they are sick, and I mean stomachache, headache sick, not vomiting or diarrhea sick which is completely different.
If you remember, SS11 also has the issue of lying a lot. Anyhow, when he gets home with SS16 Wednesday night, he starts complaining that he doesn't feel well. I told him he could leave his homework for the next day, take a shower and go to bed (they get home at about 9pm since they go to SS16's boxing gym first).

This shit again
Last week SS16 had his first boxing match. And the gf slept over because it was too late for her to take the train home. She left the next afternoon, after I kept asking SO to ask them what time she planned on leaving.

Your thoughts on 16 year old girlfriend sleepover please
SS16 was due for his first boxing match yesterday, not pro just an event. He started telling me Friday evening that he really wanted his gf to go but because of the expected snow she would probably not make it. I knew where he was going with it, so I changed the subject.
So he asks SO to speak to him, and at that point asks him if gf could sleep over Friday night. SO very very stupidly (in my opinion), and without consulting with me said yes.
How to disengage when your SO wants your help?
I'm tired of it all today. For those of you who keep up with my story, SO changed his schedule so that he is not home M-W until 1am. Essentially, skids don't see him all day on those days. SS16 goes to a boxing gym and he was taking SS10 with him, but SO asked me if SS10 could stay with me now that the weather is getting cold.

Noticing blended family issues at work
Today there was a patient on my unit whose daughter thinks the SM is abusing because "he gets hospitalized too much". Mind you, the patient is not being brought in with bruises, he's alert and oriented enough to where he could verbalize abuse. Daughter wants say in father's care, however SM is the healthcare proxy. Just my opinion but if someone didn't bring him into the hospital I might consider THAT to be abuse. Made me think of all of us on here.

For all the bitching I do
I realize SO is a good man. He's not perfect, and he has a long way to go but then again so do I in a different way. I'm realizing this after speaking to a good friend of mine, whose SO signed over his rights to his kids because BM made his life impossible. For all the shit I go through with these kids sometimes, I know I wouldn't be able to respect a man who walked away from his kids...and still didn't make an effort to see them years after he knew he made the wrong decision. I respect my SO. Makes him sexy to me right now...

SS10 doesn't learn
I really don’t think this is normal. SS10 gets something each week regarding his behavior. Last week, just like every other week, the negative points were that he doesn’t listen in class. 2 days ago, teacher called SO to inform him that SS10 kept singing a song during a test, where at a specific point of the song he says “Suck my &*^”. SO came home that night and told him that although he had been doing well for a week or so, he will have to be punished yet again for what he did, so he decided to tell him that he’s not giving him his Spiderman costume for Halloween.

Day 4 of punishment and I feel sorry for the little shit
Well technically SO's been watching a television series with him since yesterday so there goes the inconsistency on his part again. I don't want to be the bad guy and SO's already gone for work so SS10 is currently in the same room with me and DD eating and playing with her. Saying he's bored. Not sure how to respond to that. I don't think I should enforce him being in his room if SO didn't do that yesterday or today. So can I turn on the television? Do I ask him to leave the room? I hate being involved in this.

ACS is now involved
SS10 has issues. I've been telling SO this for a while already. He lies every single day. He says he does his homework, and when we ask him to show us, it's complete crap. He writes on the paper to make it look like he did work, but all the math answers would be wrong and the reading log won't make sense. He gets in trouble in school on a weekly basis and the teachers are always calling to complain about how he's not paying attention.

How much allowance to give?
I'm asking because SS15 asks for 5.00 on school days and SS10 asks for a dollar or 2 on school days also. SS15 says he forgot to hand in the slip for free meals in school and he needs the money for water for boxing. On top of this, they both ask for things day in and day out as kids do.
