Annoyed
So, I'm annoyed for no reason right now... I'm just annoyed..and what better place to share this than here...
My SS7.5 has been on holidays with his mom for 2 weeks, (in a different province), and will be spending another 2 weeks there with his Grandmother (DH's mother). I'm ecstatic about this of course, because I am so enjoying the month off from being a stepmother. SS called on Sunday because he misses his dad, I get this... and then he calls last night again..because he misses his dad... ok.. but it's the conversation I think that just annoys me..
DH: Hi buddy wuddy how are you? Yeaaaa, Yeaaaaa ... Oh that's ok buddy.. are you behaving? yeaaaaa yeaaaaa, well we really miss you buddy... have you been peeing the bed? Ohhh welll keep trying. Have you been peeing your pants? Ohhhh wellll you just need to try harder.... Are you having fun with your Mommy? ohhh buddy wuddy... well I'm soo happy you called.. we all love you here...
GOD..! It's like we haven't seen him in years, and we'll never see him again or something! And I'm just soo sick of this peeing the bed/pants thing... !!! I know that kids have issues with bedwetting... HOWEVER... this is all behavioural... from the ages 4-6 he didn't wet his bed.. now it's a new thing.and it's every night... and he lOVES his diapers..!! He's almost 8! As far as the peeing the pants thing... he'll be eating dinner and just pee his pants. When you ask him why, he'll say he was busy eating dinner!!!!!!!!! Whatever... So..on one hand I'm thinking how nice that he misses his dad..and on the other hand I'm thinking... stop calling! Pretty bad of me right... oh well. And his Dad talks to him like he's such a freaken baby!
OK I think I feel better now!

know how you feel
I know exactly how you feel, my DH refers to my SD as a "17 yr old little girl". Whom he allows to spend the nite at BF's house for nites on end, getting boned-down, but she's a "17 yr old little girl". Sorry, but in my book, she became a woman the day BF popped her cherry! sorry to be so vulgar, but you thought your situation was weird? Oh! And he doesn't believe that they r having sex! RIGHT! She's just on birthcontrol pills because she has really bad periods, right! DH & MIL both believe this! Oh! And DH talks baby-talk to my SD also, it makes me sick! Then, when she doesn't get her way, she cries like a toddler & he gives in. So, basically, i have a 17 yr old, toddler, SD who has sex regularly & is on birthcontrol pills, is barely in the 9th grade, can't count change, boil water, burn toast, open her own soda can, or change her own tampon for that matter. But i'm the one with the problem! Talk about annoyed, i'm right there with ya!

Hang in there girl.. I totally get where you're coming from! I get soooo annoyed sometimes too and it feels so much better after I get it out!! The whole peeing thing at 8 is...uh... just not right! Has he been evaluated by a dr to see if there is something wrong physically to be causing this? But him LIKING to wear diapers? OMG! Perfectson stb17 had a very small bladder and was a super deep sleeper and wet the bed at night f-o-r-e-v-e-r as a kid and he was humiliated by those 'good nights' or whatever they were to sleep in. So wow...I can't imagine! I'm thinking of you!
I hear you.
I hated that my DH was still wiping his son's butt at age 5. It took me telling him that it was crippling him to not be able to do that himself. Dudebug was still in pullups until 6. What fixed it was at our house he doesn't get anything to drink after dinner...NONE. He has to pee before bed. He still has an accident but a few times a year now at age 8 when he doesn't go pee before bed.
The kid should be embarrassed of the accidents. The fact that he isn't says something is WRONG! No more diapers, really. If he wants to act like a baby institute the "no drinking/mandatory potty time" rule and he'll snap right out of it.
