I feel like I'm going nuts. What's going on here is just wrong and I don't know what to do about it.
difficult child 1 is just a nervous wreck which translates into him being a miserable bastage (thank you "Johnny Dangerously!") to everyone. He's picking on difficult child 2 and 3 constantly. We went pumpkin picking on Sun. and ended up dragging the boys out of the food court by their hair, pushing the baby stroller with my elbows with difficult child 3 screaming in tow. One nice thing was a giant of a man stopped me in order to tell me that Evie was the "most beautiful baby he has ever seen".
In the car (sans pumpkins) difficult child 1 proceeded to scream, curse and declare that I had no "f-ing" authority over him. I declared that I'd show him who had authority when I ripped his head off. They were all silent for the remainder of the 30 min. car ride home.
AH, oops, I mean husband, naturally didn't come (as usual). The kids were glad because "he's too cranky all the time and would spoil the fun anyway". They also noted that "he only comes if it's a party for us - in his mind for the other parties he thinks f#@* the other kids" (meaning their cousins b-day paries, communions, confirmations, etc.).
One minute he's nice to me. I've been reading about what I can do to improve communication, he starts acting like a pill. It's almost like he's getting a kick out of watching me spin. The passive/aggressive **** is driving me mad! He plays that stupid video game all the time, except when he's doing work at one of our friends house. This weekend he finally addressed the leak in the roof that's destroying our bathroom ceiling. "Oooh-ahhh, I'm so impressed, yes - you're the best thing since sliced bread, ooooh-ahhhh". Gimme a break already!
difficult child 1 is up every night at around 3a.m. with stuff going through his mind like: why do kids want to be my friend (he couldn't make friends in his old school - he was concentrating on not being beaten up), why doesn't dad think I belong in my new school, what if I lose my pen during a test, what if I like a girl, what if I'm a minute late for class, what if someone scares me, etc.
He started up with difficult child 2 & 3 this morning. difficult child 3 got on her bus and he aimed his sights in on 2. When he professed that he'd dance if difficult child 2 got "murdered on his way to school" I lost it. I'm ashamed to admit that I used foul language at him. He went to my Dad/Sisters and I told him not to come back. I then proceeded to tell AH that he could go find some other dope to do this job. He headed out the door and called back "you guys have a good day now" and drove up the street.
I quit. I'm packing up my toys and going home. "King of the Road" is my new theme song.
Oh man, I'm losing it.
