So, DH has certain rules and chores that are divyed up between the three kids. No problem right? Well, its all great except when my kids dont do their chores with 100% effort, etc. Here's the latest example of his son getting away with half-a$$ing something.... Thursday is trash day, so BS10 has to take our two LARGE trash cans out to the street either Weds night or Thurs morning. SS12 is with his BM on Weds night, so he brings the trash cans back in after school on Thursday evenings.

When I brought him home yesterday he made a comment about how some of the BBQ trash (we had a Mem Day BBQ Monday) had spilled out of the can when the automatic machine came to empty the can. His exact words were, "Wow! Some of the trash is on the steet."

So, I had to work late last night and didn't get home til 9pm. It was dark....this morning I look out there and he brought the trash cans back in, but left ALL the bones, plastic cups, etc. in the street. I KNOW my DH will be angry about it, but he wont do or say anything about it to his son because he wont be home til 8/9pm from work (he is a UPS driver). So, I am the one who will tell SS12 that he needs to clean the trash out of the street. And this will only add fuel to SS12's firm belief that I am unfair to him and treat him badly. But,I mean seriously?!?!? Bones in the street in front of my house?!?!?! The neighbors probably think we are the laziest people on the street!
