Update on OSS drama....
Update on OSS Drama....So this past weekend it was DH's weekend to have the skids so of course nothing happened to OSS but DH talking to him about how important it is not to talk back to adults or have an attitude. Yeah he really is going to learn something from just being talked to about it. LOL
Any way, All weekend OSS was talking non-stop and just make smart a** comments to DH and I was just sitting back quiet and waiting to see how long it would take for DH to do something about it. Well I walk out into the kitchen and OSS is like what is that on your face did you get bleach on it? I have been sick and I have some kind of infection in my nose and it spread to the outside of my nose. Thank god I am finally going to the doctor today for it.
Any way, I was scrubbing the tub in our bathroom with bleach cleaner so my hands smelled like it and I guess that is why he said it. Well after he said it I was going to say something to OSS but DH tells him to mind his own business and that he needs to stop stressing everyone out with his comments and he will take every electronic away from him the very next time he makes a rude comment towards DH or I.
OSS just walks off and slithers back into his room. We talked to the counselor how my DH doesn't follow through with giving the skids consequences when they do something wrong or actually take some kind of action instead of giving warnings to them. He really needs to work on that more and we are going to talk about that more at our next appointment.

I lived through smart mouth ... still do at times
Blended families .... Definitely challenging. I had 2 SS. Both were real smart a** in many ways. Not to the point of cursing, nasty but they treated their mom and I pretty crappy in comments. OSS(28) still lives at home but is gainfully employed and paying rent. He is much better than ages 18-26 but still the majority of his comments are basically questioning everythign the adults do ... like why did you do X that way, that's stupid. He even has commented a few times everyone would be better off if we just did things his way. Anyway, it is tough to ignore and so very negative. He gets very angry any time any attention is pointed back to him and can almost never admit a mistake.
Keep working with DH at the counselor. Do not keep things inside as it festers (trust me, I'm paying) and look for any constructive ways to keep that discussion going. My DW has disciplined a handful of times but always short lived and often says nothing or does not follow through
Thank you captjack.
