I am so very agrivated this beautiful moring. I don't even know where to start. It started last night, so I guess that's where I will start. I am calling this person Allan for an alias and techinically he's NOT my husband..we have lived togather for almost 12 years!I got a call yesterday for a interview, which I set up around noon time. I actually have a "food service position" but it's only good for the school year..so I have been looking for something to supplement OUR income. Anycase, I discussed this with Allan when he got home and I had dediced to call his dad "T"..well that's when things went very very wrong!My youngest son..who adores his grandad had spent some time with him..Sunday afternoon, but then he called me and his dad to come pick him up..well NOW I know why. His grandpa, Allans dad..had threatend my son (kinda)..See my son..will NOT stick up for himself..ever! And his wonderful grandpa..told him IF he didn't that he would beat his a__..and used some racial slirs in the progress. Well my son had said some things about my mom would be mad..and he said..doens't matter..I will bust her mouth too. Of course, as I am telling Allan this..I started crying. And also typical he stood up for his DAD..not ME..or OUR SON!Does anyone else out there have a S/O that will go to war literally over one or the other parent?Thanks

Oh yes I have a mommy's boy on my hands. It has gotten to the point though now everyone teases him about it. She knows more about our life then I do. He runs to mommy everytime he is not getting his way at home. A few times she has called me and made side comments that I know what she means but I refuse to play the game so I ignore them and start a different topic. The sad thing is you can not change them. At least I don't think you can. She does watch her step with me now a bit more as I found myself a bit more assertive with her. I remember one night we were at a ball game and they asked him to ump the bases. He didn't really want to but did it. She started in about how bad it was for him to be in the sun and such. I said oh he is fine if he can drink all day in the sun all day with his buddies like yesterday he can get himself onto that field and be a dad. I have no sympathy for him. After that she stopped bringing up how hard he has it. She watches closely now what she says to my daughters too because she jumped my youngest one once and I got on her about it. I am not mean just to the point and let her know I won't tolerate it. If you want his dad to stop then you will have to stand up to him do not count on your SO to do it. Be strong and be short and to the point. Just start with bring up this incident and tell him that you will not tolerate it. It may ruffle his feathers but he will think twice next time he wants to do that to your son. Best of luck to you!!
