Thanks, Shining. You are thinking along the same lines as me. And it's funny, you can tell we have kids the same age, because he actually said, "Dad is gonna 'scoop' me."
Yeah, we have got to be on the same page. Really, I don't mind him being with xh. But when he left he said, "Well I need to talk to someone, and clearly I can't talk to you." OMG!
He is giving me a run for my money.... oooooohhhhh boy!
Yeah, I feel for him for sure. He is trying to use every angle though. He has everyone on guard.. teachers, counselors, parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts... I mean, this well adjusted, smart kid- has really turned upside down. I get it. I don't blame him, but I still need to make sure he is accountable.
I said the same thing to him about being 18. Oh man, its gonna be a reality check for him.!
D13 yelled out (from the bathroom while giving herself a 'makeover'), "Where is b17 going?" I said, "With dad."
She said, "WHY?!"
I said, "Because he is mad."
she said, very sarcastically, "Yeah, like dad will make it better."
