Journaling...
I don't want to get too excited about this school thing yet until I am actually showing up the first day. I know anything can happen to make it not happen. We had a little "incident" last night. Son was at his friend’s house playing video games all day and then calls about 8:00 pm and wants to know if his buddy can spend the night. Wife was not crazy about the Idea because we are having his B-Day party today and she did not want them to make a mess in his room and to be all tired for the party. Let me back up here a little. Our son gets his sentimental side from me. I mean this guy had a wrapper in his room from a burger king. I wanted to throw it away and he said he wanted it because it was from the burger king in Eureka that he and I went to on one of our father and son trips…. Unfortunately he gets his feeling of low self esteem and intervert-ness (Is that a real word?) in other words he does not make friends easy. He goes to the library at lunch to read so he does not have to sit alone...he gets this from his mother… Ok so anyway I said as long as he and his buddy clean up there mess in the morning I have no issue with the sleep over... and then wife gave in and said ok. Well I went to bed and around midnight I hear all of this commotion. Wife and son are arguing. Apparently he got sick and threw up on the kition floor. W was yelling at him about not eating all day how she knew this was going to happen because he was at his friends house all day... how if he is going to be sick she is going to call off his party. Son it telling her how he is sorry and it had nothing to do with him playing t his friends house all day. Now remember his buddy is over our house also. In another room but still I am sure he can hear my wife. I was thinking how embarrassing for my son let alone being sick and getting yelled at. So I call out not to worry about it. He is just excited about his party he is not “Sick” Wife yells back at me “WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN THIS MESS UP?”... Well I lost it I yelled back “APARTNTLY I WILL” Now I have not yelled at wife in a long time. In fact I can’t remember the last time... I got up put my leg on and went to the kit ion. There I find wife standing by the counter and son wiping up the floor. I told son to eat some crackers and maybe drink a little sprite then go to bed I will clean it up. I cleaned up the rest as son ate the crackers and apologized to me for getting sick. I asked him what he is apologizing for. Did you throw up on purpose? He said no. I told him not to worry about it. Go to bed you have a big day in the morning I love you and happy birthday…. After I cleaned up I went to bed. I don’t really blame wife. She has no patients but still the poor kid was sick…. Well got to go and get ready for the party Later Doc

Doc, Your W owes your son an apology. Good for you for trying to buffer the situation for him. Maybe your son needs to learn how to stand up to his mother and tell her he doesn't deserve to be yelled at. I feel badly for him feeling so powerless and belittled by her. He can't make her stop, but he can learn to let someone know he doesn't like being mistreated (mother's included).
