Haircut and SS13

Cooooookies's picture

The infamous topic of haircuts. I buzz SS13's hair for several reasons.

1. His hair grows super fast. Even with my buzzing it down to a 3, it still needs buzzing at least once a month.

2. He doesn't take care of it. Rinsing the shampoo out thoroughly is too big a task for Mr. Lazy so, the longer his hair, the more product and grease builds up in it and makes it smell and look horrible.

It's just a teenage thing

and there's nothing you can do about it.

DH's exact words when I told him I'm tired of SS13 giving me dirty looks. He was giving me a dirty look because I caught him sneaking screens when they were supposed to be done for the night. Oh yeah, he has screens back already. In the same week he was caught lying about eating fruit that he threw away.

Nothing to be done about that? Well, welcome to me being 100% disengaged, DH... what are you going to do about that?

Aaaaaand the poo saga continues

SS13 hid yesterday's underpants in an empty shoe box in his room. He's due to come home from school in about 5 minutes. DH will confront him...for the 457th time in the last year. I'm so sick of this.

His screens are taken away, he scrubs his own underpants, writes sentences. Running out of consequences.

I really reallyyyyy need to learn to like drinking more...

The desperation oozes everywhere

BM2 must have been on the down slide of her bipolar GU brain. She sent DH several messages yesterday:

One was about how it was Elvis' birthday yesterday and included a video;

One about the boxer dog she had with DH that died, far as I can figure, at least 14 years ago;

One about being upset when a friend goes on a diet and you can't follow (funny from the woman who starves herself);

One about some babyish dinosaur thing to show SS13. He's thirteen. He likes call of duty and swearing and not showering...helloooooo;

My words were validated by the doctor and it's so hard to not scream I TOLD YOU SO DH!

So SS13 is constipated. AGAIN. So DH finally takes him to the doctor. WELL. When the questions about what SS13's diet is like, disaster struck. Once it was alluded to the fact that SS eats and drinks garbage every day, doc was not amused.

So doc gave DH a list of things that SS should eat and drink. Things like fruits and vegetables and fruit juices and no cola and no processed garbage. Ya know, the things I have been telling DH for the last 3+ years. Same thing SD31 has been telling DH. Heck, same things that BM2 has even been telling DH.

Sneaking and lying

That's when I re-engage. Tonight I was doing dishes in the kitchen. All of a sudden I hear the crinkle of a crisp (chips) packet being (not so) quietly taken from the cabinet in the dining room. SS13 is trying to sneak more junk food. Again.

Me: SS put that back you've already had your crisps and ice cream tonight

SS: Haha, I was waiting for you to say that (lie)

Me: No, you were sneaking junk food again. Why?

SS: *squeaks, fiddles, huffs*

BM2 wants one of DH's shirts...

She is coming to England to visit with SS13 for a few days in the first week of December. SS13 was having his once a week 5 minute chat with her on Skype today. During the usual blah blah blah of conversation BM2 suddenly says "Ask your dad to pack one of his big tshirts so I have something to sleep in while I'm visiting."

Both DH and I were in the next room and just looked at each other like WTactualF?!?!
