I am so freakin frustrated with my SS16. In the past year and a half we have lived together he has: stolen my limited edition ipod and taken videos of himself setting fires, stolen my old cell phone and taken gross videos of himself, dug holes under the foundation of the house, smoked pot, made a bomb threat to the school, This is just what I can remember right now. I just had a break and went off on him big time. He has the same chores everyday. Wash dishes before school, after school and after supper. Take out trash when full. Please tell me why everyday and I mean everyday me and DH have to argue with him because he isn't doing this. He will leave 3 or 4 dishes undone and we have to go to him and make him finsh. Then he will not wash and put away dishes so we have to tell him to do this. I am not exaggerating when I say this is everyday. When you ask why he can't do his chores correctly he just says uhhh I got distracted. We tell him that weekend privleages revolve around him doing his chores for the week without being babysat. If he will do them correctly for the week he can have TV, or go hang out with friends. However he will not do them. He goes to mom's house and cries to her and her family about how unfair we are and how we keep him grounded and we don't love him. So she calls yelling at my husband. Of course when she has him she calls us within 24hours to come get him because she can't handle him. His sister is so much easier to handle. She has her moments but they are normal teenage girl moments. She always does her chores, her room is clean and she is respectful and thankful. Me and my husband argue over his son because I am firm that when this kid is 18 he is gone. He can go to college (community with his crappy grades) or he can get an apartment but I refuse to let this slacker stay in my house any longer then I have to. His own mom won't even take him. He gets mad and tells us that he is almost an adult, but he acts 12. I think he does this just to piss us off. One time while doing dishes the pipes under the sink came undone. My husband walks out into living room and sees the carpet is soaked. His son is standing at sink doing dishes super slow standing in water and claims he didn't realize the pipe busted. REALLY? He is very passive aggressive with his behavior and I can't stand him.
