After last week's sagas I knew things would only get worse, yes bm certainly upped her game. We were due to have ss 10am Saturday. 9.50 we get a text saying hell be very late due to a sleep over. When he finally lands past 12 he happily announces bm let him/friend stay up until 2am. Wtf. Oh and boy does it show. Acting like a drunken clown he's so tired.

Dh decides that he wants to do a roast, asks ss to help and learn. Ss not interested, says hell help dd. Who is happily sat at the table carefully pouring a bit of each vial of 20 glitters I bought her onto her bowl, ready for picture making. Dh shouts me to show him what to do with parsnips (I know face palm) so I'm in kitchen literally one minute. Hear a load of noise. Walk into living room. Pair of kids are covering in glitter, head to toe, in their eyes, in guinea pig cage, inch deep on carpet. I rigidly walked into kitchen and said to dh you better sort this Coz I don't know whose arse I will ram that parsnip up, yours bm or ss.

Whelp dh finally went mental. Woohoo. Shouted at ss to get in shower then get taken back to bm. I said nope, that's a reward try again. So he yanked out his play station took his beloved hotline to bm. In fairness he came out with the whole lot. Said I'm sick of you reporting everything back to bm, not participating in this family, only to brag about what you've been bought etc. Oh and tell bm not to bring you again if she's gonna let you stay up til 2 so you can't behave yourself and do baby acts like you've just done. Well ss stayed and behaved better than ever.

Yesterday I said do you want to go to mediate. He said it's a waste of money. I'm just gonna deal with ss from now on and pull him everytime. And pull bm too, she does a stunt like that again I'll say best cancel your nail appointment, I'm bringing him right back..so I said thank the lord.

Lo and behold we get a text last night daddy can I swap days, I'm having the return sleepover. Dh shot back well you can but only as we don't have firm plans, and if you so much as yawn or roll on the floor once bm will be having you back. I said dh I'm letting you handle this, however, me and dd will be going out out for the day, and that's what we will continue to do until bm tires again of this bs. He says fair enough
