I'm so so angry I can't even look at them or speak to them!

I'm fed up cooking meals and ds2 not being here to eat them so I put them aside for him to eat when he comes in but they end up in the bin!

He comes home from school today gets changed and is about to go out, I tell him he can go out after his tea, he tells me he's going to town with his GF I tell him he's not he's having his tea first! I go into the kitchen and all I hear is see ya go through and he's gone so I shout out the window to get back in he says he will be back for 6pm I tell him if he goes he's grounded, all along DH is just sitting there saying nothing!!

He comes in at 6.10pm all happy happy so I tell him he's grounded, he said so I'm grounded cause I wasn't here to eat your shite tea! I told him no it's because he went out when I said no,

One thing lead to another and he told me I always cause arguments in the house,I've gave him a shit childhood and it's always DH who has provided for him!!
I was so angry as DH sat and never said a thing just had a smirk on his face!
I got upset that he said I've gave him a shit childhood and his dads provided everything,
I said to DH you better get him to his room before I punch him (I wouldn't) DH said I think you should go to your room you said some hurtful things!!
I had tears in my eyes DH told me I was harsh by saying he couldn't go out and he only said it to get out (wrong way to fucking go)

He's been in his room all night then DH said later on think you were harsh it was trivial, so I've told him he can deal with him from now on I'm not interested anymore!

I always feel I'm fighting a losing battle as DH never ever sticks up for me or backs me up!

Sorry but I think you sound controlling and passive aggressive. Just serve dinner and if he is not in don't save him any? And yes I have teenagers.

Okay.
That usually works Grin

ComposHat · 12/03/2014 18:48

Yes nothing revives a thread like the op unilaterally declaring closed.

MamaPain · 12/03/2014 19:03

Jesus Christ you irritate me OP. At first I felt sorry for you but now I suspect you are all as bad as each other. I'm not surprised how they act when you are such a fusspot.

Skivvywoman · 12/03/2014 19:05

I've already said what I'm going to do and I'm still being kicked at so that's!

OK sorry, I see you did mention the voice, but it wasn't at all clear what point dh was using it.

However, it does still seem to me to be possibly a matter of perception. Are you sure he wasn't just speaking quietly to try to calm things down? And are you sure his 'smirk' wasn't something like a nervous smile while he tried to work out what the hell to do to calm you down? I know you don't want to acknowledge that possibility, but please be very honest with yourself and talk to him about it.

Ici it was a blatant smirk and if I hadn't asked him to tell DS to go to his room he wouldn't have bothered!

I've spoke to him when he came home and he's trying to say he heard nothing! He's lying I know he is
I just feel that he's never got my back I understand this is just minor thing but he never backs me up!

I think the key here is sticking to your guns and not letting them get away with this.

Tell your DH that you are very hurt by your son's lack of consideration and equally hurt by his lack of support. From now on you expect him to back you up and you will no longer tolerate him taking the easy route.

Tell your DS you cannot afford to keep throwing food away so he needs to tell you in advance if he will be in or not. If he does not comply with that he will not get fed, washing done, lifts provided, etc.

One of my friends did this with her daughter after a comment that, as a SAHM, she "didn't do much". She wrote her daughter a letter saying these are all the things I do that you think don't matter so I won't be doing them for you until I get an apology. She stopped cooking, washing, ironing, giving lifts, cleaning her room, buying food for packed lunches and treats and much more. It lasted about a week Grin

We always ate at 5pm when I was growing up so o knew to be back for 5 when I was out. Then we had supper about 9 (tea and toast). Never thought it was odd, all families have their routines and the like don't they?
