Oh the drama

Our week so far and SK’s aren’t even with us: 

Thurs night: SS17 starts texting DH about how SD14 is a lost cause and will turn out exactly like their other loser sibling, that SD is “gone” to us, Then he calls DH and goes on and on about drama with them and how SD has been fighting with Crazy and SD yelled at Crazy that she had tried vaping once with a friend (of course she feels comfortable saying that, she knows nothing will happen), then SS threatens to hurt SD. DH has to tell him to calm the F down, and lecture him about how he is way too worked up about this. SS said that Crazy asked if SD swears at our house and at DH- SS said, no way! Apparently SD swears all the time there and swears at Crazy also. It's funny how they will do what you allow! DH hangs up and is like OMG, it’s ALWAYS something!! And he’s not wrong. He asked what mistakes he made in life to have to deal with drama at work and constant drama with kids. I just bit my tongue, because you married a psychopath and chose to continue to have kids with her. 

Last night SD14 texts DH about horseback riding lessons- she wants to take them but rides were always an issue, and also the cost. She said she had found a place that would pick her up after school, and she would pay for them. In the text, she said lessons are every Sat and DH would have to take her. He’s like waaait a minute, that’s not what you said, you said they picked you up during the week, She’s like, well they don’t, and proceeded to tell him “I just sit in my room anyway, and I don’t see why I can’t do this” and just had a shitty entitled attitude, saying she already signed up for a lesson today that Crazy was taking her to (before even asking DH) and that DH was “fine with her having some stranger pick her up, but now that he has to give her a ride it’s an issue”. This girl has nothing but the audacity. He’s like, we hadn’t signed you up yet or even looked into this place, which we would have done before anyone picked you up- you don’t just get to bully me into agreeing to this over text, we can talk about this when you are here. She said no, she didn’t want to talk about it with him in person because he would just give her excuses, so she would have to cancel her lesson now since she couldn’t commit to regular lessons because DH wouldn’t agree to take her, so she “no longer wanted to do this sport”.  DH replied “ok”.

I told him I was all for her doing this, but now we would be committing every Sat she is here to lessons, in summer, which, no- we go boating and do other things, and we just need more details to see if we can make it work, but after her approach I don’t think she should be allowed to do it at all. She thinks she should just get whatever she wants, and Crazy gives it to her, and she always has a shitty approach. She needs to hear no when she demands things. 

Minutes later SS starts texting DH saying SD is telling him he’s worthless for not agreeing to give her rides to these lessons, and he said “I’m going to hurt SD or not give her rides to anything, your choice”. Which, wtf?? Now you’re giving DH an ultimatum? We had been trying to start a show for 45 mins, but because of all of this nonsense and texting, we couldn’t. DH finally ended the messaging. 

I leave for a last-minute work trip Monday so I won’t be here for it, but not only does DH get to talk to SD about vaping and her demands and attitude, but he gets to talk to SS about how it’s not acceptable to say the things he is saying. I told DH “should be a fun week, sorry to miss it”. *biggrin* He’s like, you are so lucky to not have to be around for this. Absolutely, but it’s also my bday this week and I will be gone for it…it’s sad that I’m happier that I will be away from SK’s and this drama because I am sooo over it.

I really really hope he shuts them both down.  Pulls all his support for anything for either until the behave better.   Shows them what a real adult looks like with boundaries in place.  Enjoy your trip!

If DH shut them down until they behave better! Alas, that is not DH's style. He has a hard time telling them no and thinks that a stern talk is good enough and then it's back to business as usual.

SS who claims they are all crazy seems quite abusive as well. My OSS22 was like that with his sister OSD23 as well when they were teens and even with his mother....When he moved in, violence ensued

Your SD is entitled but at least your husband puts limits to this nonsense and ignores it

 

Let them trash each other....Too bad it ruins your couples time and evening....I have been there back when I used to care about spending time with my husband, I would get upset/depressed having to support and listen to my husband rant and cry over stupid stories and baby conflicts

DH plays into the circus.. He gets involved in the craziness . You must disengage from it all.  Tell DH  if he's going to play this game you don't want to know anything about it,    It's a bunch of kids who have nothing to do with there lives so they pick on one another
