He's baaack.
Ok…so SS did show up over the weekend to surprise DH. It was actually a really sweet reunion surprise.
After SS being on deployment for 8 months…he is still the same. Lies about everything and can tell the same story three times but change it up EVERY time. He still has to be center of attention every second of the day. Even if it is negative attention.
On his first night there…he wanted to go see some friends. DH told him to be in by 1:00AM. SS was floored. I told him that it is not really a curfew…we just want everyone who is supposed to be in the house, to be there by 1:00am. He does not have to be here by 1:00. He just can’t come in after 1. That way if we wake up to someone coming in the house at 2:00 we know to shoot them. Lol. He has so far rented a room one night and got kicked out of a bar one night. (I have heard 3 different stories of why he was kicked out). I just shake my head and laugh.
I guess my biggest gripe is that DH acts SOOO weird when SS is around. He boasts and brags almost every second of the day about SS. We went to eat and DH embarrassed the waitress. Tried to get her phone number for his “home from the war” son. . It was soooo embarrassing that I wanted to crawl under the table. So did my DS and DHs brother. But SS ate it up. He loves the attention and wears his military garb everywhere we go so he and DH can get people to “thank” SS for his service and get free stuff. SS actually told me this. It is pretty sick.
DH also acts like a big juvenile kid when SS is around. Tries to be the cool dad. That annoys the crap out of me also.
DH also tries to point out how all other young adults are crap because they did not sacrifice and join the military to keep us all free. GAG! SS has spent the last 7-8 months working 6 hour days and partying the rest of the time. He has been going to exotic ports all over the world. He has not sacrificed shit for me and I am sick of hearing DH talk like we should all kiss SS ass because he is better than everyone else because of the military. Sorry for the rant…I will probably be here a lot over the next 2 weeks. FML

As the daughter of a
As the daughter of a decorated war veteran, I can understand your disgust. You have my sympathies. And I can relate with the "tries to be cool dad" syndrome when steps are around. The poor waitress. Awkward.
You know, one phone call to a
You know, one phone call to a local recruiter mentioning this kid at "x" place... somewhere you know he is going to be... wearing his uniform will solve this.
They are not supposed to be in uniform unless they are on duty. Getting his arse reamed in public and getting dropped for pushups in public might teach him something.

Call the recruiting office, let THEM handle his ass.
Same here - My father was
Same here - My father was naval officer injured onboard a ship he was stationed on for over a year in the late 60's. After 25 back operations including having his vertebrae replaced with a cadaver last year he never discusses his military services, let alone hope for free stuff...
Disgusting! He has no idea what true sacrifice is. If it were me, I would not be as silent as you are being, that is for damn sure...
But don't you think you are
But don't you think you are glamorizing his deployment a bit? (I've never heard of a six hour day in the military... I'm pretty sure they don't exist
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Per SS...They work 3 hours then off 3 hours then work 3 hours and off the rest of the day. I am going by what he said. Knowing SS it may not be true. But it would be him glamorizing it, not me.
Another thing that is
Another thing that is annoying me is that DH is letting SS drink beer at our house. SS is 20. Drinking age is 21. I raised an eyebrow at that and DH said that since SS can join the military then he should be able to drink beer. Ok whatever. Then he went on to say that other 20 year old should not be allowed to drink because they did not "man up" and join the military like SS.
:sick:
And we are in one of those
And we are in one of those states.
Naw... I guess just because
Naw... I guess just because it is legal does not make it any easier to have a 20 year old immature man/child drinking at our house. As it stands...I am getting annoyed at most things right now. lol
I get that totally. I'd be
I get that totally. I'd be pissed off too
In Colorado, minors can drink
In Colorado, minors can drink within their parent's home with their parent's permission. I guess certain states law's are a bit more lenient than others.
OK, so your DH thinks it's
OK, so your DH thinks it's cool to let SS drink at your house "because it's ok" or whatever. I'm sure you are smart enough to know your SS must be out drinking in bars, too. He will get in HELLA lot of trouble with the military for drinking in uniform underage. They take that shit seriously. Call them.
Let your DH tell the cops
Let your DH tell the cops that underage drinking is ok for military personnel! }:)
How much longer before he
How much longer before he leaves? Do you have a little cooler with beer stashed out on your porch so you can escape from all the hot air?

2 weeks. He is going to see his mom tomorrow but only for one day since he just came back from vacation, from Hawaii with her. (Remember...the one that he wanted DH to go on also.)
The thing is that he said in
The thing is that he said in all of the ports they went to...he was old enough to drink in bars. And the military seems to be ok with it. I have no clue. Everything is talked in circles with this man/child.
