I'm going to vent for a moment. Regardless of whether I'm staying or going, I need to get this off my chest about the skids.
They are filthy animals...there I said it. I am so sick of their nasty ways.
Today, they were going to some little party to end their hockey season. SS13 whined about his shoes being dirty and having none to wear. His dad told him yesterday not to wear them out in the mud but he was smart, knew it all, and did it anyways. So now he won't wear them to the party (it's just pizza and swimming, not a black tie gala for goddsake!) He has the absolute gall to demand that fh take him shopping for new shoes immediately! We're having financial problems and he thinks he's getting new shoes...are you frikkin kidding me???!!
So, to make it even better, we were going to see fh's mother in the rehab place this morning and same skid dumps his pellets for his airsoft gun into dad's new jeep right down into the door frame! He's going to have to take it in and have the service dept take off the door to get at them. But did fh say anything, nope just looked scowly at him and we left.
I have to say I'm sooo sooo tired of the lack of parenting in our home. I cleaned yesterday but it looks worse today than before I started. They filthed up the bathroom before they left, and left all their dirty crap on the floor.
What fries my a** is that fh works nights to pay for all the crap they wreck and want replaced. It's hard working night, but these little bastards dont care. They think it's funny to break stuff and make fh replace it. I could just kick fh for letting them do this. He's getting better though...he's making them use their own money to buy new hockey helmets. That's a pretty big change for him and a great start in the right direction He's also on board with giving them allowance if they do chores, but that hasn't been started yet.
I'm sure they'll do things properly to earn their cash and things will probably get better, but right now I'm sooo angry and frustrated.
What really was the kicker was the little bastards lost or wrecked my garden gnome. I've had this thing for years since I lived in Australia. It wasn't worth much, but it does have sentimental value and it was MINE, not theirs. FH noticed it's missing but wont' say anything to skids. I'm going to confront everyone over this because I am not having my stuff wrecked by them because he's too ball-less to parent them. I'm going to find out what happened to my gnome. It's just the principle of it...I respect them, and I demand respect in return. I think I'll break something of theirs...ok, that sounds pretty childish, but I can't think of any other way to impress upon them that you do not touch other people's stuff. What really really p*sses me off is that their mother goes through their stuff, forces them out of the way while she reads their i.m.'s and gives them no privacy at all...so it really makes me mad that they will do this type of thing to ME when I've treated them better and more fairly than their mother or father for that matter. I'm thinkin in exchange for what happened to my gnome, their air soft guns are gonna get run over 'accidentally'. LOL Lets see if they get the message.lol
Sometimes, part of why I'm not sure this life is for me, is because of the skids. Our relationship is hard enough w/o them being like complete savages. Again, I blame fh. He guilt parents and if he does parent, it's usually completely inappropriate. I dunno...I'm still not sure this is the place for me, but while I'm here these people are gonna tow the line because I am tired of their filthy, spoiled, good-for-nothing ways.
Thank you for listening and letting me vent
Hugs, LT
