Count Down. A mild rant.
4,152 days until SS7 is 18 years old and can move out.
I don't hate my SS. I hate the way he behaves. I hate how thoughtless and uncaring he is. I hate that he's a bully to other kids. I hate that he attempts to bully me. I hate how greedy he is. And I hate that he was raised (by his grandparents) to believe he is the only kid in the universe that matters. I hate that no matter what DH and I do for him, it's never good enough. I hate how we have to nag him to do any and everything. And I really hate the way he whines and complaines about everything.
Thankfully, DH is making an honest attempt to step up and correct his behavior. Seems hopeless to me, hence, the countdown.
DH and I talked last night after I found SS7 had stolen some things and hid them in his backpack. I told DH I would leave punshiment and discipline to him, but if he steals anything from this family again, I will then step in. DH told me it was his son, his business. I sharply spoke over DH and told him this is my house and if anything in it is stolen it becomes my business and I will not live with a thief.
DH and I stopped the conversation before armagedon broke out in hour home, again. Although I was stewing in my own fury I tried to forget about it and managed to enjoy movie night with DH and BD. Weekends are always so peaceful when SS is gone but, without fail, I always begin getting anxious and irritated by Sunday night knowing he'll be here to start trouble on Monday.

Ah, idiot skid used to steal
Ah, idiot skid used to steal stuff from our place too... lol Of course, idiot DH never believed it or confronted her...Oh well, things are things...I would however make SURE that she KNEW that I was fully aware that it was missing. DH couldnt' say a thing...Now, I wouldn't tell her what I wanted...ie. "hey little shi$%^6 you stole from me and I know it"...but in front of her I would say to DH..."funny, but X is missing...and wow, I have had that for years, so many parties, so many people over and never anything missing and now it's gone...wonder where it went" BLAH!
PS - the countdown helped me many times, except when I had to ADD to it...sigh...but for the last few years I have had a countdown clock on my fridge...DH had no idea what it was for...I wouldn't tell him...and it did help me some...actually, I think my kiddo took it now...gotta put it back up there as it's getting really close now...wohoooooo!
You all are probably right.
You all are probably right. Not only am I counting the days until SS7 will be gone, but I'm counting my own days and BD1's days away. I don't want that.
