I swear to everything holy, these kids will fight over ANYTHING.

Today's SS13 nuclear meltdown was brought to you by cleaning the bathroom. That's right...cleaning. The. Bathroom. BOTH SS11 and SS13 were charged with cleaning the disgusting, horrifying, vomit-inducing bathroom in the basement which I haven't been able to use in months because the pee is CAKED on the toilet seat and I refuse to clean it. First they started fighting over who was going to do it. When it was made clear that is was BOTH of their jobs, SS13 had an absolute SCREAMING fit that would rival even the most bratty of 2-year-olds because SS11 actually had the audacity to try and help clean it. SCREAMING. At SS11, screaming at DH (I didn't even get involved because if he'd screamed at me, I would've blacked out and woken up in restraints)...because he wanted to act like a complete asshole. Did I mention SS13 really hasn't hit puberty yet, so his voice is very high and irritating? He then locked SS11 out of the bathroom until DH started yelling at him so loud I swear the windows in the house were shaking, to let SS11 in to clean. I'm pretty sure SS11's idea of cleaning the toilet was taking a dry piece of toilet paper and wiping the exterior, which I'm about to go check because the main reason I refuse to use that bathroom is because of all the pee everywhere. I'm also sure SS13 is becoming a bigger jerk by the day, not to mention his nuclear meltdowns are becoming WAY more frequent and WAY more epic. Can't wait until DH hits his breaking point with these damn kids so I don't have to just sit and stew about it anymore since every time I get involved I turn into the bad guy (even though stuff gets done). I can't wait until they're adults and will leave.

He does, but they're not even CLOSE to SS13's. Mostly he's just really whiny and pouty, but generally when he's told to cut it out, he'll stop. SS13 only gets exponentially worse when you tell him to calm down, and he pretty much goes from 0-60 in about three seconds. Then, when he hits DEFCON 1, there's pretty much nothing to be done about it except witness what I can only describe as temporary demonic possession. He's really something...even to the point now where DH's parents (who still think these kids are victims going through hell of their parents divorce...9 years ago...) are taking note of his crazy fits.

LOL, OMG that is f-ing hilarious! We don't have the luxury of steps 4-7, usually demonic possession occurs as step 3.

Definitely, at least in toddlers it's completely expected because everyone talks about the "terrible twos." NO ONE talks about the "terrible teens" because they're so bad they're unmentionable. Good point about the bathroom, I didn't think of that, but I'll remember it for the next time. His voice is REALLY shrill, too, he'll deafen himself in no time. It's not like there wasn't plenty of other stuff for SS11 to clean by himself, I just wanted him to get the toilet since it's primarily him who pees on it.

It really is, he actually reminds me more of a teenage girl than he does a teenage boy because of his penchant for acting like a COMPLETE drama queen, even when he's NOT under demonic possession.
