Momma Bear mode engaged!

SS19 tried to pull some crap and blame something on DD10 yesterday, boy did he get to see this Momma Bear mad!

Last night, DD wanted to tell SS about the place in the mall that fixed her cracked iPod screen, because they do different colors- her iPod screen/border was previously black, now it is white, and she could have done yellow if she wanted to. So to bring up the conversation, she asked SS if his screen was cracked (she asked her friend this the day before, so I knew this was where she was going with the conversation). Well turns out his screen is cracked and he was trying to blame it on DD saying "convenient that she asked me if it's cracked, and it is. But it wasn't cracked when I put it in the drawer". I call BS, the reason it was in the drawer was because his shit was strewn all over the floor and I bitched at him to pick it up, telling him to put all his crap in the drawers so the dogs didn't chew on it or step on it. Told him it was more than likely cracked when he put it in there, and what does he expect when he leaves stuff on the floor and an 80lb puppy lives in the house???

DD does not go in his room unless she's with me and I'm using the computer (since it used to be my office and still has my home desktop PC in there), and she would definitey never go through his drawers, she has her own iPod.

He must have seen the fury in my eyes because he backed down quickly and went back to his room, and left for work not too long after that!

Oh and side note: I did get my sit down/family talk with SS after he moved in. But DH pulled a fast one on me, grrr. Originally we had agreed that SS could live with us for 6 months max. When we all sat down to talk, SS started with the water works, what he does to make DH feel guilty. SS said he knew he was only offered to live with us because we felt sorry for him, and DH caved said SS could stay with us for as long as he needed- 6 months, 4 months, 8 months...however long it takes SS to get back on his feet. Oh no, come 5 months, I will be pushing that he has 30 days to find a place, per our original agreement! SS also got told that this time if he disrespected me even one time, he was out. No questions asked, I would pack his belongings for him and put them out on the driveway.

He's still been pretty pissy this time, especially when I've reminded him about house rules like: dirty clothes belong in a basket, not on the floor; pick up after yourself; no food in the bedroom. He gets all huffy, but so far he's kept his attitude and mouth in check. At least to my face, when I can hear him. Once he stomps to his room like a toddler, I'm sure I'm called all sorts of names, LOL.
