DP - yes I'll reiterate house rules again and we won't go through the same nightmare we did last year with new DSC relationship.
DSC - I'm going out tonight with new flame, c ya.
Quick conversation about home time which ends in be grateful it's not the really small hours of the morning.
Result? No house rule mentioned, DSC gets their way, we both sleep, or probably not, waiting for DSC to do their usual breaking down the door mode of entry at whatever time.
Because DSC's watch only has two times - now, which is when they want something and 'whenever' which is when we want something.
And maybe it would be fine if it didn't impact the rest of the family, we still have to get up in the morning for the other DSC and likely as not late night DSC will want a lift to work cos they're tired.
How do I get DP to see this isn't working? Or is it and I'm just issuing the step family dynamic???
