Annoyed with DH and SS12
Today was "cleaning" day and dh knew about this for the past few days. Last weekend we traveled for my baby shower and this past week I have been putting in long hours at work, since It was my last week before maternity leave. The house is a mess and I wanted it cleaned. Right as we are starting to clean dh tells ss12 to start his homework and dh wants to check it.
Every answer ss has down is wrong, I tell dh to send ss to his room and have him rework the problems. Clearly ss is not reading the math problems correctly. Dh finds ss door locked and ss is crying in his room because "he can't do it". So what does dh do, sits and does problem by problem with him.
Dh comes out of the room and asks what needs to be done still and I lose it. I told him absolutely nothing because you 38 week pregnant wife that has been having labor pains for the past week cleaned everything!
Dh of course got mad and said I was overreacting. This skid drives me nuts when he is here. During the weeks I pretend he doesn't exist.

I can see both sides on this one. I think he was right to reassure and help his son, and that's exactly how you will want him to be with your child, but, he should have postponed the homework until after he had helped with the cleaning if his son was struggling instead of dropping everything. He's trying to make amends today, he sounds like a good guy.

If you help the s/kid with a problem or two, you probably will hit a point where you KNOW they can do it themselves WITHOUT supervision.
To have him stay in there for ALL the questions, reinforced SS's need for daddy's undivided attention. Which he just got in spades.
I'd be pissed off too.
It's not just alcoholics that have enablers surrounding them. It is asshole skids as well.
