GETTING WOSE ALL OF THE TIME
Yesterday evening, our number one son called from his Mother's house. He wanted to know if, he could come over a few days early. Evidentally, his Mother was driving him crazy. More like, she's finally losing her mind. More so, then usual. You remember how it was when you were 14 years old? All you wanted to do was, hang out with your friends. Since you didn't have a driver's license, it was your parents job to take you to them. This is becoming a point of contention with, my Step-Son, and his other parents. His other parents as I call them, are his Mom and Step-Dad.
Both are extreamly lazy, and cheap. They don't want to take him anywhere. His Step-Dad has already informed him that, he is going to have to start getting rides from other people. His Mother is so flakey that, she lies to him frequently about, deciding wheather or not, he can go somewhere with his friends. The worst part of all is that, she is coming up with stupid reasons why he can't go places like the movies. Like the most recent excuse, "there is too many germs there." Number two son actually called her on this one. He claims that, one day she will say he can go somewhere, and the next, she will use a lame exccuse.
I guess that, his reply of late is, "why do you lie?" Her response is, "I don't lie, I just change my mind." Here's an idea, just tell the boy that, you've changed you're mind. They were out in the front yard discusssing of this yesterday afternoon. She finally blows up at him and says, "quit pestering me and, just go to your Dad's." He thought, well... alrighty then. He went straight inside, called us, and made arrangements to do so. By the way, I would NEV...ER tell my son, "just go to your Dad's" In fact, I'd pay good money for him not to go over there. Considering that, he's not the best role model for my son.
The bottom line is, our number two son, called her bluff this time. My husband picked him up at the movie theater, after the movie was over last night. He had gone with his girl friend, and a bunch of other kids. My husband always said that, this day would come. The boys would finally get sick of her "crap" as he puts it. They would also see just how crazy she is. He has calimed for years that, all we would have to do it wait. I overheard part of my husabnd's conversation with number two son yesterday. He said, "now you know why I dovorced her?"
So the new question at hand is, will I be raising one, two, or three children in the near future? I think that, it would be great to have all three under our roof where they belong. Six years ago, I would have rather died then admitt that. Then again, I was just trying to keep my new marriage in one piece. Also, I was selfishly in no mood to parent, someone else's kids. I still had my own son to worry about. I still have him to worry about. It's odd what maturity will do to a person. Keep it real ya'll!
