You can't fix stupid

DH and I had a fight last night. I know that I was out of line but I meant what I said - just probably should have said it :). I think I need some one to teach me how to disengage.

What I said... the short version. I called SS7 a 'dumb ass' and told DH that I apparently have higher standards for SS7 and his behavior, to which DH replied with "you don't think that I have higher standers than you?" I didn't respond but the answer 'hell no' popped in my head. We didn't talk again the rest of the night.

Here is what lead up to that conversation.

they say a picture is worth a thousand words ...

so what are really bad photos worth or the lack of pictures? SS5 has an 'all about me day' coming up at school and we were asked to send pictures.

The request must have been sent Friday asking 'us' to send 8 to 10 photos of SS5 and family. Well BM had 10 photos on the folder so of course DH and I looked through them out of curiosity.

BM sent ballons to our house for V-day... for us?

BM dropped the kids off to our house today with 2 Valentine's day balloons, apparently for DH and I. Maybe I over reacted but I Txt'ed BM and told her that wasn't appropriate.

I hate Sundays as it is, but it's not my place to say anything when it comes to most of the crap that we deal with but I am sorry, I am not comfortable with another woman buying my husband gifts of any kind, specially for a romantic holiday.

What is fair when it comes to Maturity and expectations for skids of different ages?

I came to the sad realization the other day that SS5 is more mature than SS7 and SS7 expects to receive the same praise for doing 'big boy' things as SS5.

DH and I have given up on trying to convince BM that the skids are NOT babies anymore. But for the past year or so we have been doing our part to promote Independence and maturity in the skids because DH and I are trying to have a baby of our own. And lets face it I am not looking forward to seeing the regress when baby arrives.

Suggestions on how to promote independace in lazy skids?

When BM continues to baby them? Maybe it's because I am NOT their mother but I have no desire to constantly take care of them and clean up after them like BM does. BM still dresses them both every day, picks up all their toys and put them away, cleans up after them, bathes them, gets them in and out of the car and even still carries SS5.

BM agreed to let Psychologist test SS7!

Now DH just has to schedule it. BM added that she thinks it's ADD. But DH told her that he thinks it's sleep so rather than play the guessing game, Therapist says a Child Psychologist can run some tests and tell them if it's Anxiety, Sleep or ADD/ADHD.

SS7's teacher is the one that said he is having issues at School paying attention, though I have thought he has had an issue for awhile now. I know I shouldn't be excited about it but I am. I just want to know what his problem is so we can work toward a fix.
