state of emergency, my @$$. the roads are bone dry, and the freaking SUN is out!
*rme*

ok, now on to dh.

he's pissed at me because i told him he was clinically insane. *giggles* well, it's true!!!

he let the boys go to a game last night. lurch rode w/ friends, g-ma took kaos and dh said he'd go pick him up afterwards. made it very clear- "phone ON. you WILL answer if i call. call me when u'd like me to leave to pick u back up."

later on dh get a call. he leaves. lurch gets home, 10 mins later dh and kaos arrive. and dh is LIVID. at lurch.

turns out, the call was "where ARE you? everyone's almost gone, why havent u picked me up yet?" (ummmm, u never called and said "hey, game's almost over, can u leave now?", totally ignoring dh's very clear instructions) and lurch left w/ his friends, left his 12 yr old brother alone. effing really? never called dh ("uh are u on your way to get kaos? my friends are about to leave") and never thought to tell his buddies "hey i'm gonna stay here w/ kaos and ride home w/ dad".

i told dh, h3ll i'd be mad at BOTH and ground them BOTH from games for a month (well, kaos maybe a wk or two, lurch i'd go a month), PLUS i'd take their phones for a week for not using them RESPONSIBLY.

dh was so mad at lurch for just leaving kaos that he could not even listen to reason, finally he asked me to quit talking about it cuz he was getting more angry. wtf ever. so i said "dh, get your @$$ of your shoulders and listen to logic. DO SOMETHING about it instead of just getting angry. u issue no consequenses, so NOTHING CHANGES. u are embodying the very definition of insanity - you yell, they wait for it to blow over, and the same $#it happens the next day. and the next day. and the next day. you 'handle' them the same way but expect things to miraculously change! $#it doesnt work that way!!! set your emotion aside and actually DO something different fertheluvaGOD."

then i went to bed and wolverine pouted out on the couch all night. GAH.

i generally am disengaged w/ kaos in his presence, and will talk privately w/ dh about matters involving kaos. i'm fully engaged with lurch.

but now i'm about done with even discussing the kids privately. dh blamed it on lurch cuz he was reaching for a target. i think both kids did wrong, but what the h3ll do i know.

lol i guess i just felt the compulsion to bang my head against the wall just. one. more. time.

Don't you just adore men when they're pouting? I do an Olympic eye roll when DH does that. My DH also keeps repeating the same behavior hoping for different results. Instead, his behavior is to give skids whatever they want in hopes of a relationship. Funny, they only time they interact with him is if money is involved. Sigh.

oh yes, sexy as h3ll *snorty*

we're full-time custodial. but he's a "cave-er" big time. $#it, he argued w/ kaos for a full thirty minutes BEFORE the game, telling him he could NOT go. u see how well that worked out, eh?

I know you are full time custodial and I am in awe that you haven't killed anyone yet. I am grateful everyday that skids are adults.

DH used to do this with SD.... he'd rant and rave about shit, it'd go in one ear and out the other, and then in a day or so it would be blown over and forgotten and little miss would continue acting like a fool. Then DH would blow his stack again and.... yeah, that rerun got sooooo old. The ONLY time DH handed out consequences was when she got "arrested" at the underage drinking party, drunk. DH did tell her she was not allowed to spend the night at any friends for 60 days... well that lasted 30 and DH couldn't stand her being around so... DH also told her she was not going to the beach with MIL for SILs wedding, 4 days after the drinking incident.. mind you SD hardly even knows this SIL so it wasn't like they were close.. but MIL argued with DH, said SD needed to be with "family" and guess who went to the beach?

That kind of crap seriously made we want to punch DH in the face.

yes daizy, classic parenting technique right there.

i've flat out told dh before - they just wait for you to quit yelling so they can go back to doing whatever the eff they want to do.

this past weekend dh threatend kaos, said "u're gonna get an @$$whoopin' if u dont x,y,z!" "from who?" "FROM ME! THAT'S WHO!!!" "yeah right i doubt that." "what do you want for lunch?"

me - :? :? :? if i had a kid who said that to me, he'd be $#itting teeth for a week. but dh is so predictable in his no-action reaction they get away with murder.
