Gotta love the holidays for skid behaviour

There's nothing like the holidays to almost break my nerve with darned skids. I haven't felt the need to vent much lately but with Ss just turning 13 and being the centre of attention like no-one else on earth, I am ready to wring his and SO's necks. I'm as disengaged as I can be, considering skids live with us full time (BM unfortunately passed away some years ago).
SD15 is maturing into a nice person, fun to be around, normal teen. Such a huge relief there's one skid that is bearable and even pleasant.
SS13 is God's gift to us all. He annoys the heck out of me and - 4 years since moving in with them - has barely changed behaviour. Whiny, talks in a baby voice to Daddeeee , walks on tiptoes (as it means Daddeee with look at him constantly to see if he's doing it to tell him to stop), shows off how smart he is most dinner times, plays 6 hours of video games every blessed day with Daddeee's approval, does F all chores, complains about every darned thing. The list is endless.
Last night at dinner, SS13 did his usual stupid thing of watching SO's every move and mirroring exactly what SO does. Like a complete idiot. SO rubs his nose, SS follows suit. SO leans back in his chair and folds his arms, SS does the same. Literally wtaf? SS does that all.the.freaking.time. After 20 minutes of watching Simon Says across the table, I lost it. Told SS to stop being a twit (I managed to moderate my language just in time) by copying Dad's every move. I asked SO right there 'Don't you think it's a bit silly?' Dead silence. SO sulked, SS put on his classic 'look at me, everyone, I'm so sad' expression with his head down so low it's practically in his dinner plate. Good!! I'm glad they're both upset cos I have had enough. I'm sick of 4 years of this crappy enabling behaviour!!! Truly I am one foot out the door in 2023. My life is way too short and valuable at age 53 to hope that wretched boy grows the heck up quickly and moves far far away from me. Sick of both of them right now. Nothing has changed for SO and SS and their bromance. It's nauseating.

I'm shocked that you were

I'm shocked that you were able to hold back your disgust so well. Were it me I'd probably have said "stop acting like a toddler, you're not two" and said it every time he acted like a small child.

Disgust is the perfect word,

Disgust is the perfect word, you're right. Disgust that the skid aged 13 manipulates SO constantly with stupid babyish behaviour. Disgust that SO is wilfully blind and says I'm harsh. Well guess what: if I don't want to eat dinner watching SS act the fool, then yes I'm harsh!

I think I'd have look at both

I think I'd have look at both of them said "really?" then "I'm not going to sit here and watch this stupidity" then gotten up and left the table.

but I'm kind of a bitch.

Good Gawd

This skid needs help. So does your SO.

Read Reedles blogs on adult forum. The bromance betwen her DH and adult SS made her the third wheel in her marriage. She finally left the enmeshed duo.

Maybe keep a puke bucket next to you at all times LOL

Blessings.

I agree, professional help

I agree, professional help would likely benefit both of them. The chances of SO agreeing to that are nil, from my mentioning it before. SO is a widower (I lost my spouse too). , too proud and egotistical to seek out support for himself or kids even though I believe he knows his kids are odd, especially SS. I'm counting the reasons why I need to leave rather than want to stay, unless SO actually takes action.
