SS13 already had a quick-charge phone charger, but DH and I didn’t, so he ordered two—one for each of us. Within a week, SS lost the one he originally had. At that point, I had a feeling my brand-new charger would somehow become his.

Sure enough, he asked to borrow mine, promising to return it before bed. He didn’t. Instead, he kept using it without asking. Then yesterday morning, I woke up and it was gone—completely missing. To make matters worse, Wednesdays are his day at his mom’s, and I found out DH had told him he could take it with him. I don’t understand why DH didn’t just give him his own charger.

At that point, I was pretty livid and insisted that SS return it that evening because I didn’t want it disappearing into the abyss at BM’s house. SS told DH he didn’t have a ride and said if I wanted it that badly, I could come get it myself.

That’s when I really lost my patience. I told him he always manages to get a ride when it’s something he wants to do, and that I’m tired of the ongoing disrespect. Suddenly, he was able to find a ride, and the charger was returned.

I’m frustrated with both of them. This isn’t the first time SS has taken things without asking ME, and while DH did apologize for letting him take it, he still doesn’t understand why it’s such a big deal—which honestly just adds to the frustration.
