The one thing that really confuses me about Mom's boyfriend is when you're being told about something. To show that I'm listening to people, I'll usually just say "Ok." if there's nothing more to really say. Lately, I've had to do that a lot because I'm mainly just getting lectures from him and my Mom. However, it seems that "Ok." isn't enough to show them I'm listening. Instead, he just assumes I'm ignoring them and just saying "Ok." to get them to shut up. The question is, what do I say instead? I mean, I could say "Yes.", "Yeah." or "Alright.", but that's not too much different to saying "Ok.". It makes me wonder if I should just say nothing at all. But honestly, I think he and Mom will still get angry with me because they'll assume that no answer means I'm not listening anyway.
I believe that there is no way to please them both. I know what they'd like, and that is for me to be out of this house and living in my own place. I would actually like that a hell of a lot myself because I'm tired of the fucking bullshit I get from Mom and him. For someone who claims to have nothing to do with us at all, and is "just the guy dating your mother", he sure likes to take control of everything.
I also ended up getting lectured about how I ignored Mom's boyfriend when he was calling to me yesterday morning. According to Mom, he'd called me a few times yesterday morning trying to ask me to come down and help him paint the kitchen. Funny, because I never heard anything. I was feeling a little sleepy though, and could feel myself drifting off to sleep, so maybe I fell asleep for a little while and wasn't aware of it. If I didn't, then I definitely did not here him asking me to go and help him. Even if I did though, would I have really gone and helped him out? Probably not. He doesn't deserve any help with anything.
