Does your DH do this?

Does your DH do this?
When SS is being stupid and embarrassing about something, DH will sometimes say…”I was the same way at his age” ugh! It makes me wanna puke and so turns me off of DH. Lol
SS always has to be center of attention. Yesterday he walks out on the pool deck and asked his dad how to make scrambled eggs. DH looked a little embarrassed to have his grown son ask him that, but, he told him to go inside and he would show him in a minute. I guess the look of shock on my face, made DH jump to try and defend his Skid, (even though I said NOTHING) Keep in mind that SS is 18 and has made eggs over a dozen times over the past year and a half. I have seen it.
I did not say a word, but DH looked at me and said…”I was just like that at that age, I could not cook either” I normally just nod about ANYTHING to do with SS, but could not keep my mouth shut that time. I told him…”SS has made eggs many times, last time being less than 2 weeks ago. DH said…”really?”
Then about 10 minutes later DH trots off to “teach” SS how to make an egg.
I really hate to think my DH was really that big of a moron when he was younger. Just turns me off.

the fact that my DH allows ss16 to wear dirty clothes and not shower turns me off. why can you not tell your child that clean clothes are required as are showers???
ss16 just grosses me out and DH knows it. I hate when he rides in my car, i'm always spraying something in it after he leaves to get rid of the funk that i smell from him!

Dakota, my BS22 is a walking stink bomb. He grosses me out completely. I have become the nagging most annoying woman in the world to him. Every day I tell him he stinks like ass. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what age they are and whether or not they are Bio's or Skids, if they have poor hygiene there isn't much more than yelling, cursing, spraying Febreeze and embarrassing him can do. I'm over it, I just want him out of my house. SOON.

My DH is pretty honest (sometimes brutally) about SS12. He'll come right out and say that "SS is dumber than a box of rocks, just like BM" and DH has no problem telling SS if he's gross because he hasn't brushed his teeth or taken a shower for days. My biggest gripe is he that he caters to him.... seriously when we have dinner he serves SS wherever he happens to be.. upstairs, living room what have you, DH literally serves him and then will run back to wherever and ask if he wants more, needs a drink, etc. Then runs back again to collect his dirty dishes... Barf!

This doesn't have anything to do with step kids, but more step siblings. When I was in high school, my step sister was caught putting her cereal in the garbage disposal....trouble was we didn't have a garbage disposal!!! Her response was, "well it goes down the holes." She was probably 16 at the time!! Maybe your SS is just dumb when it comes to common sense stuff. Sorry your DH defends his stupidity.

For a bit, I actually thought SS could be mentally handicapped. But he is not. He is actually pretty smart, but he loves to be the damsel in distress! Weird. He knows how to cook eggs, he knows I know that he knows how to cook eggs. Yet he still acted like he was a 5 year old baby and DH let him. Sick.
71 MORE DAYS AND HE IS OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!! Until then, I will just ignore, ignore, ignore and come here and gripe to all my SM friends. lol

Yes, dh says that sometimes about how he was immature when he was younger, too. And I believe it. Mainly because my dh is STILL immature. Dh also grew up with divorced parents. Hmmm.... My mom has also noticed how the kids she works with (teacher) from divorced homes are more immature than other kids. Anyway, dh doesn't say it a lot but when he does I compare ss to other kids we know his age a d he shuts up.
