I swear, FDH just can't seem to understand why I feel like my needs and considerations are always put on the backburner for his kids, especially SD11.

As you may know, I work from home. All day today I was wondering where the heck my office trach can went. I looked all over the house. It just disappeared. A few minutes ago, I walked into Sd11's room to put something in there and see my trash can next to her bed.

I texted FDH and asked him why it was in there. He explained that she had thrown up yesterday morning and he put it in there in case she needed to puke again and couldn't make it to the bathroom.

Um, OK. So, instead of taking the trash can from her bathroom and giving it to her, he takes MY OFFICE trash can, doesn't even line it, leaves it for her to vomit all over (thank god she didn't) and then doesn't return it. I responded to him by asking why he didn't use hers and thought I'd want a puked-up trash can.

He seriously does not get it! This goes back to the whole idea that what's mine is theirs in his head. No, it doesn't work that way, dude. Have some damn respect. He didn't even bother to ask me if it was OK. And he wonders why I always feel like the lowest priority around here. I would love to see what would happen if roles reversed and I just started giving my son his stuff to use without asking. He'd flip out. And of course, I now again look like a petty bitch for having a problem with this. I swear, one day I am going to completely lose it over something small and stupid like this.

My guess is that SDS garbage was actually closer too. Had to walk by her can to go gets yours.

He had to go out of his way to get mine. I bet he didn't take it out of her bathroom because then the other SDs might be inconvenienced. Had he just told me he borrowed it, lined it with a trash bag and returned it, it would not have been an issue. It just really sends the message "I'd rather inconvenience Anne than my kids".

I flip out about stupid petty things like that all the time, don't feel bad. It's always a matter of principle, not always the object in question. And my idiot SO went rifling through the kitchen cabinets looking for one of my MIXING BOWLS that I make food for our family in to give SD when she was puking once. SOOO not cool, esp. when I keep a literal STACK of empty Kemp's ice cream pails under our kitchen sink for this very purpose. DOH!

grrrr! what a dumb ass! i caught sd using my good mixing bowls to fill with water, take out into the yard and put her nasty disgusting feet in when she was 12! needless to say, i was pissed to the max and gave her an earful and made her bring them in so i could disinfect them. i would have known better than to do that at 6, but she didn't know better at 12? her stupidity has always astounded me.
