SS still trying to pull one over on us, needs to give it up
DH never said anything about his missing tool to SS. So when SS got home yesterday, I asked him if he and his friends had taken the bike rack off the pick-up hitch, he said no. I asked if they had used any of DH's tools, cuz one was missing, he said no. Told him it was funny that the tool would come up missing, since the bike rack is the only thing it fits on, due to it's (large) size. SS walked back in the house without another word.
When DH got home, SS was going through the stuff in his room, organizing. He came out to the kitchen to ask if our bikes needed a tube, DH told him no. SS says "well, I'll put it in the garage in the drawer of the desk you made, k dad?" This struck me as weird, because we just got the desk back from SD, and we don't use it for anything. I grabbed a box that was on the table, so I could make it look like I was putting it in the recycle bin in the garage, and walked out just in time to see SS open the drawer and "pretend" to grab something. Bike tube was still in his left hand, and the drawer was open about a quarter of the way. I ask him what he's doing and he says "oh, I just found dad's tool, it was all the way in the back of this drawer". Told him funny since the tool was in the tool box last time your dad put it away.
I put the box down and come back in the house, followed by SS telling his dad he found his tool. Best part is it was only part of it! It was a socket extension, and the socket itself was not attached. Dh asked him where the socket was that was attached to it, SS said this was all he found. SS disappears back to his room, I hear a few texts come in. By then it was dinner time.
After dinner, he goes back out to the garage for about 10 minutes and comes back with the socket. Saying this piece was in the tool box, but not in the drawer DH knows it should have been in. And DH would have had no reason to put it in any other drawer. I told DH he's stupid if he believes him, after all the crap he's pulled. My bet is he texted his friends and asked where the tool got put! Nice try, ignorant little SS.

LOL- it's funny that he thinks he is that slick.
What an idiot.

What a little snot bag!
What a little snot bag! Sounds like the crap my SS plays. Its so tiresome.

You know, I've considered it...to make up for my missing hoodie!

This reminds me of what my dd11 used to do years ago. She had a habit of taking things from her big sister's room-lip gloss, makeup-whatever. Dh or I would ask if she had seen it and of course she would deny it. Then we'd talk about how upset other dd was and how upset we were, blah, blah, and then we would make sure that we left that area of the house. The amazing thing was that missing item would always turn up in the few minutes we were in the other room-often times found by my sweet, helpful dd. Sad thing is this is what she did years ago at 7 or 8. Your ss is an adult, right?

Yes, he's 19stb20. He's very book smart but not street smart and it baffles me that he thinks he could pull this "trickery" off.
I hope your DH doesn't
I hope your DH doesn't believe him. :sick:
Does he work? Contribute to the household in any way?
Sadly, yes DH does believe
Sadly, yes DH does believe him and doesn't believe me when I tell him that SS cries and brings up the past to make Jim feel guilty.
SS does work but does not pay rent, pay for food or contribute in any way. DH hasn't made him help out around the house at all either. That will all change starting tomorrow, I told SS he WILL be helping DH with the lawn and spraying for weeds and spiders. I work hard to keep the inside clean, he can help his dad outside! I'm going to guess now that DH will not enforce what I said, which is fine if he wants to do it all himself...don't count on me doing more than my fair share just because he wants to coddle SS and not make him be responsible.
