My sister just got engaged. Like me, she has no children of her own, but she has been teaching kids all her life. She's great with kids. I don't work with kids, just deal with grownups who act like kids

Her fiance is a wonderful man, great sense of humor. I'm so happy for her. Her fiance has two daughters, age 9 and 12. He gets them EOWE.

Enraged, of course. After he scolded me in front of SS. Not the first time he's done this. He never scolds SS16 in front of me, he always talks to SS16 afterwards out of my sight.

SO and SS16 suddenly got all chummy and had a father son talk in the back room, which apparently I interfered with when I stopped in to say hello, I knew something was up. They have so much time together so many opportunities to talk and they never do. I leave both of them alone a lot on the weekends.

It doesn't seem to happen when I'm being a sloth lying on the sofa watching my Lizard Lick Towing marathon on tv.

He used to go on about how none of his previous wives cooked and only one of them cleaned. Ive always hated this. He just gets this huge grin on his face and says, "you know what? I love you."

I've called him out in it a few times, in a nice way but he's still doing it. It's starting to get on my nerves.

Don't get me wrong, Im glad he's telling me this, but he only seems to do it when I cook and clean.

I try not to discuss SS16 with my mom, but today we somehow got on that topic. My mom keeps telling me how strict I am, and that a lot of what SS16 does is normal bratty teenage crap. No, that's the problem he's emotionally 10 years old, an does not act like a normal bratty teenager. When he's thirty is when he'll finally start learning how to act like a teenager.
