Amy,

Simply food for thought here.

From one parent to another.

My boys, if they can get away with it:

Exaggerate, especially the 12 year old.
Play mom and dad off one and other, and that chaps my ass.

When D was texting me repeatedly flipping out about summer school I could only imagine how it sounded on his end - which was why I went straight to him so he would know it will be okay and we can pull it off.

I don't know what's true and what's stretched.

I know in the past she has way overdramatized things I've said so it is likely she's doing the same with him. Plus, he's trying to put his foot down about some stuff and they have begun to butt heads.

Nevertheless...

Ahhh screw it!

I ain't doing nothing.

I just needed to vent.

Venting is good Amy! You've been holding a lot in lately!

Lis and I talked about how it should be woman up because we just do it
we don't need to hike on our britches

(no offense to the men on here...they are different I think)

anyway

draw the line
but show him the line

you don't need to go into everything again
you don't need to retell him

you need to show him the line
tell him its a line

we all have lines

but not everyone knows where they are


Daggone, Figgy!

That's some good stuff!

My favorite:

you need to show him the line
tell him its a line



ROFLMAO


OMG that is cracking me UP!
