...and if ss13 asks for it over and over again, then DH feels the need to inform me - since he must REALLY want it.

Last night it was new shoes (he has six pair hanging behind his door) and a repeater for his bedroom so it can pick up the Internet so he can play Xbox live in his room.

Part of me thinks dh tells me about these requests so that he can hear my response in how to handle it.

I told dh: I don't care if he wants Internet in his room so he can play xbox live. The other kids don't even have video games or TVs in their room. If he wants to play the game so bad, we can move his Xbox into the living room upstairs. Just cause he wants it, doesn't mean he gets it.

Then dh mentions the shoes again and that SS brought up hat the other kid got new shoes.

I said, you and I both know that SS gets more than anyone else. We both know that I also receive support from my kids' dad. Kids get what they need and it doesn't do anyone any good to compare themselves to ech other.

Apparently, dh shared some of his info with SS because SS apologized for being a spoiled brat.

Problem is that dh has been such a week parent and had spoiled him so it's been a new way of living here in our blended family. Dh and his entire family have showered his kid with material items (his room is jam packed with crap) because they feel sorry for him because bm left him for 7 years. Now bm has been. A k for about a year and a half.

Bleh. I'm venting.
