Small thing, BIG FIGHT

Ok, so let me start with a question - what should I do next?

1. Disengage. Leave it alone, do my own thing, and just dont talk about it.

2. Approach it sideways, turn off internet and turn off the phone line. Text only. Dont say anything.

3. Approach it directly, with both of them in the room at the same time.

To respond to Feral Forgers rants...or just not

Friends, I am so torn. At first when it was just me on the recieving end, I was torn but ended up simply not responding.

Firstly, the rant from SD22 Feral Forger:

She keeps texting nasty texts and they are all pretty much the same.

 "You took away my father as soon as you arrived, he hasnt been my father since me, he is just the sperm donor now."

"you have traumatized me by yelling at me when I was in my room."

Hi all,

Well, Dh has another 3-day fishing trip, and Im actually looking forward to missing him if that makes sense. 

And its Toxic Troll's week with SD15. And Im not doing any school transport. Dh has organized a friend and his sister who lives near to the school as help in transport because TT is now working, but really odd hours and cannot do it herself without DH's help.

DH now wants help and other funny very short stories

HA, Im working towards a theme here folks. What it is exactly I have no idea, but another short story:

I had sent DH a little screen shot of a letter from a teacher - SD's Chemistry teacher. You see this week is parent-teacher conference, SD15 is interested in a science-based career and shes gotten a progress report in the class stating shes got a B but "she can do better".

SO when I saw this on the PR, I briefly mentioned the comment and let it go. Forgot all about it.

Sd15.5...or Feral Forger 2.0?

I thought my fellow steptalkers would get a kick out of this short story:

We only go into SD15's room to feed the Dragon when its her week with Toxic Troll.

Shes typically, since Ive known her the past 8 years, been a neat and tidy kiddo, who enjoys a space thats attractive.

DH and I went in this weekend to feed Dragon.

Clothes (dirty? clean? who knows who cares!) were covering the floor. I joked "must be that new carpet I didnt choose"...

Dh exclaims "I told her to take care of this last weekend she was with us!!!!"

I got an apology folks. This is a man who never apologises and I got an apology. For his anger leveled at me due to me not knowing the location of the beautiful wedding. As the apology came out, then came the excuses and justifications. Then came my assertion that he has a very low threshhold for patience and its in all things. There is no time when he is NOT impatient. He yells a lot at work when something isnt working right, and his bosses (husband wife team) have spoken to him about it. They are very deep in their religion and never curse.

I think many of us can relate to this. I certainly can! I saw it with SDnow22 Feral Forger when she was living with us - she would do the dishes when asked but do them badly - so badly in fact that her father would just give up giving her any dishwashing duty at all. I see that in my husband with respect to household and event planning as well as our general activities. I see it with respect to SD15 B/M's schooling. I see this sometimes with B/M's approach to household chores such as cleaning the bath tub.
