We were working on dinner. Dh was grilling. I was bringing him a clean plate. Ss12 comes out asking about going to friends house. Dh looks at me, then him and tells him dinner is almost done. Ss kind of huffy is like "i can eat when i come back."

Im thinking im out..lol.

Little detail b4 i go on: ss only has about 3 friends in the neighboorhood, he just found out this friend (ill call him 4) lives close, but he is across a main road. We have two main roads, road A has a ton of crosswalks because its towards the school, road B only has 2 crosswalks and has some nice bends, that people come flying around!! Ss12 is very clumsy, not aware of his surroundings.

So anyway ss finds out 4 lives acrossed B. Omg getting that information out of ss is a nightmare. Dh is trying to understand where ss is going, and ss keeps mumbling 4 lives around friend 3. Dh asks if he is crossing road B. Ss tells him no(because we have lived here going on what 6-7 years and he still does not know the roads he lives near.)

So dh says it sounds like your crossing road B, which is ok, but i want you to text me when you get there.

Ss "im not crossing that road"

So i say "are you going acrossed the road with the double yellow lines?"

Ss very sarcastic " yes...you know cars on one side go this way and one side go that!" And looks at me like im just stupid.

Dh "whoa, no need to be sarcastic at all, she is trying to help you out because you do not know the road you are crossing. You are crossing road B, which is the main road that is not very safe. If you go over there you need to text me when you get there and you need to apologize for being rude."

Ss "sorry, i was just saying yeah it has yellow lines." "Ok i know how to look for cars, thanks for letting me go, bye."

Oh and just so you know friend 4 is not allowed to cross road, mom drops him off at school.

Anyway- dh noticed it this time, but there are still to many moments where dh does not realize it.

I hope he keeps letting ss go where ever, i cant wait to see how his school gets effected by all this "hanging out". And you might think oh first week of school no big deal, but ss is like the "if you give a mouse a cookie" book.

I thought i did ok, it not worth arguing, which i could have very well did. Ss should not have gone in my book, but its not worth it. I had myself a beer with my burger, focused on baby girl and made sure i cleaned everything up from dinner-lol. Have fun getting it all back out and putting it away ss.
