Spoke with x on the phone for a few minutes today about the kids. S14 got his progress report, and he is still getting nailed for not getting all assignments in and studying for tests. X wants to come down really hard, "give him a swift kick in the a$$" to shape him up. He is going to write to the ROTC commander again and see if we can get some inside help.
He started to say that he would email me things about XMas "since you never let me know what the kids wanted." Again, the kids talk to him DAILY. I just said ok, whatever... Asked if he wanted to have breakfast with them next Saturday - my day, but his birthday. He said yes, I should know he will always take whatever I offer - but will I drive both ways so he doesn't have to go out on his birthday? A$$. I just said I should be able to pick up, but have to look at getting them to him. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth... I think he realized how stupid he sounded when he got some dead air. I was SO tempted to just start laughing and say, you ARE kidding, right?
