Apparently I'm not allowed to give my opinion on anything if it isn't in favor of what my ss14 wants to do. I actually was saying he should think of his mom when deciding how he would get to her house this weekend. Since he and his dad were talking he said, ” like me and my DAD discussed, I will...” Of course since my dh allows his kids to talk down to him like that he didn't defend me at all. Thanks alot!! He didn't yell at me, just a ton of attitude and a definite feeling its not my business. He lives with us, I think I should be able to speak in my house without being treated like an outsider!!

NOTHING will gain the upper hand like saying "Great, cos I have plans." He will ask "What plans?" And you can say "Like I was saying, plans. Oh and DH, I won't be home Saturday night, plans." And walk away humming.

Even if you just go to a late movie or a hotel for the night. Plans that do not require permission or consultation.

What a terd?! I would be mad at DH too. Shame on him for allowing that level of disrespect. I totally agree with oneoffour's suggestion. Then I'd follow up with a 1-on-1 with DH letting him know that he does not have your permission to treat you disrespectfully, and if he chooses not to honor your boundary, then he'll have to deal with the consequences... Wink Skids will never have the "power of the p****". (Vulgar, I know, but oh so true.)
