[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 554622, member: 1233"] Children who adamantly proclaim that the other parent asked them to find out what version of B item you want for xmas, or planned to buy Y item that they have no business buying because they will spend 10X what is needed and 4X what we can afford only to get a vastly inferior product that won't hold up, or that the other parent is so angry about Q that they are spewing lava over the issue when in reality (that place that drama loving teen girls can't seem to find or comprehend) the other parent never thought of B item for anything much less for a holiday 4-6 mos away or Y item that they have not ever bought and would not ever buy because tthey know that they have no business buying it and they have no clue that Q is even an issue much less one that they are upset about. beyond pet peeve level is same child saying that my spouse is so upset that he is thinking about divorcing me over some issue and said teen child wants me to know because they know I don't want a divorce. ESPECIALLY when divorce has NEVER been something we bring up in arguments and we (husband and I) have a firm, hard, fast, never broken rule of marriage that divorce is NOT something we will EVER threaten or bring up unless 200% ready to actually have one because it is not in our value system and we know how much that hurts the people involved and the relationship. My daughter tried this TWICE in a month and almost did not survive the second time because No. F'ing. Way. Will. My. Child. EVER. Drive. That Wedge. Between. Our. Marriage. Things that just magically disappear from the house. Things that are specifically stated to be one person's ONLY and the child who takes them first denies/lies about not knowing about/doing it and then lies about how the owner gave permission and just doesn't remember it. One of my children being assaulted by the other in the name of "getting rid of infection" aka popping zits when the child with the acne firmly says "don't do that" or "don't touch me" or "don't touch that". Workmen who insist on checks instead of giving a receipt for cash and then don't turn the check into the office so we get fees for not paying/late payment and then they send the check in after we have paid the amt and the fee to stop the check but the check goes through over a weekend before the stop payment is on the check and the whole mess ends up costing us over $200 in fees to the company and the bank! Stomach bugs that just won't go away and stay away. [/QUOTE]
