O/T Red Parenting

oneoffour's picture

I work in a Drs office.
I walks this woman with her son (aged 10).
She tells us everything about her life and lets on that her son wanted a mohawk and as he is 10 she thought WHATEVER! So she paid for him to have a mohawk. Then he wanted red hair. So because he WANTED it she dyed his mohakw red. No, not 'washout let's try this for fun' red. Solid read. Cherry red mohawk.
And he is 10 and he wanted it and obviously he got it.
I wonder what she DOES say no it?

Disposal Update ***

oneoffour's picture

JUST as I posted last night he came home.

And we had a little discussion about how disrespectful it is to run over to her house and take care of HER garbage disposer without being courteous enough to ask me if I mind.

His ex is just mean and unless DH tells her that the garbage disposal REALLY needs replacing (he says it is the same one he installed over 20 yrs ago)and it was co-incidental it started leaking when YSS was using it, she will blame YSS and nag him and make life just nasty for him.

A little annoyed

If I didn't care for YSS so much I would be packing right now.

DH has been divorced from the Ice Maiden for 9 yrs and 11 months and 1 week. He initiated the divorce. He has been married to me for 8 yrs and 5 months and 3 weeks. But who si counting (apart from ME!)

And so it ends

Tomorrow my youngest stepson turns 19 (the age of majority in this state). So the CS has finished and DH is no longer tied to ANY decision mentioned in the decree.

Un freakingbelievable!

SSons are 18 and 20. SS20 just graduated from Drug Court this week and is leading the normal life as a law abiding member of society (so far). SS18 has finished highschool last June and is working.

Christmas Eve is always DHs time. 10am 12/24 - 10am 12/25.

So why oh why has BM given a list of CHORES to her sons to complete before they come over here and celebrate Christmas with their father? Because SHE has chosen to go into work.

Tupperware and forks

Please PLEASE explain to me why I have an ever increasing supply of tupperware and utensils from BMs house? Yes, I know my SS18 brings over food and utensils and leaves them at our place. We have even ended up with a cordless phone from her place this week! If someone took my cordless phone out of the house I would KILL them. We aren't talking a cell phone. A cordless phone! Not to mention forks, spoons, cups, tupperware. it never ends!

O/T Travelling

This morning I am off to my home country as my mother is extremely ill. Right now it is a 50/50 crap shoot. SO in 24 hrs I will be at her hospital bedside asking REALLY hard questions of the hospital staff in my new "American" way.

Please play nicely while I am gone. See you in a couple of weeks... hopefully.

The most awesome stress releaser

So your s/kids are driving you insane? Find a nail gun and shoot the crap out of something.

We are building shelves in our storage area (at LAST!) and not a s/son to be seen. I got to be in charge of the nail gun and man, I love that thing. Slam! Slam! Slam! I imagined s/sons fingers under the nail gun as I reminded them that although they are not THAT bad they could offer to come ahd help!

So, get hold of a nail gun. If nothing else the sound of the compressor recharging will scare the shit out of them and drown out their repeat of The Simpsons.

Conclusion drawn

I have decided that OSS20 can say he is over any conflict he and I ever had and he really likes me and loves his dad and whatEVER.
He dislikes me but I don't think it was just me.

He was very happy when it ws just him, his brother and his dad. But the last time that happened was 2003/2004. Since then his withdrawal has continued.
