BF17 left a few days ago for his summer visit to his dad several hundred miles away. We look forward to this because we feel it's less to worry about these 2 being unsupervised for long chunks of time at BM's. Of course, we also think it's great for the boy and sets a good example for sd that he has a good relationship with his dad.

So suddenly ss13 starts randomly talking about his sister's boyfriend coming over. SS13 has no filter so if he overhears something and it seems the slightest bit interesting he will just blurt it out and you can take it as truth (unless garbled) because the autistic boy can't lie.

So I say to SD15 -- isn't bf in Dad'sState?

Oh, boy.

BF told dad he didn't want to be there away "from all his friends" (aka his gf) and his car and basically some words were had and Dad sent him back because kid is getting "old enough to make that decision."

I feel really bad for the dad. I also wonder what's up with this kid's mom because we've been told how "cool" she and her hubby are. Because of the Disney phenomenon, I am very wary of this phrase, them being "so cool." I also know the dad took the boy last summer on a tour of colleges during his time so I'm thinking I like the dad. Mom suddenly bought the car for boy last fall, no preamble, just handed him some keys one day and said "it's yours."

Now suddenly I'm wondering if she's one of "those" bms and she knew the car would keep him here come summertime.

I also now wonder if that boy is going to be able to leave for college in 2016 since he's showing signs of easily sacrificing Dad for whatever's going on at Mom's and in order to prevent being parted from SD.

Frowny face.

Oh, in other news, yesterday dh says to SD15: "Take a shower, you look like you need it." She protests, "I just took one a few days ago!!!" Ewwww! (DH and I were gone for the weekend so skids were at bm's for 2 weeks with this kind of 'sanitation') So this is what the boy is so attracted to he can't leave--a gnarly fermenting in her own juices petri dish.
