I’ve done it. I don’t do it anymore. Makes me sleepy, prematurely. I wish the boy would quit it. I made the mistake of telling him if he was going to do it, do it here, at home. Adult to semi-adult translation… cool, me AND my friends can do it here.
WRONG.
Had a bit of an experience last night night. Room full of “buddies” up in the boy’s room, and the street literally looked like a parking lot. The cloud was thick. Contact buzz to the max. Next time, I’m gonna tell ‘em all if they don’t live here, GTF out. Then I’m gonna tell him, next time, I’m calling the cops, and I’ll let them deal with it next time he and his “buds” hookup in my house. He’s 18 now, skippin’ school still. Granted he has mono, but I can’t help but feel I’m bein’ played.
Bein’ played pisses me off. He might be bigger than me, but now, he’s not a kid anymore and needs to figure out how to pour piss out of a boot with directions written on the heel. When my daughter finally graduated, I got her a laptop. “If” he graduates, I’m gettin’ him luggage. Signed with a card that says “Congratulations son, have a blast in Jamaica mon”…

February 13th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Grow a set? Cheap shot man… Matter of fact, I’ve got the whole fucking set. Where do you think the kids came from, the Milkman? How many of your kids have you kicked out?
February 20th, 2009 at 7:27 pm

This is the wife. Look man..the beauty of being an adult is that you can tell anybody to kiss your Redneck ass when you are payin’ the bills. That’s what you want the boy to know and learn. So, bottom line…your house. Your rules. It is that simple. Peeps can bitch, whine,complain and go somewhere else to do what they’re gonna do, but if you’re paying the bills, those are their choices. Reality says that money talks …and ya know..he can be pissed off, if he can’t afford his own place….well, life’s a bitch for him, now ain’t it? See, the senior chief says grow a pair…cuz he’s complimentin me not insultin you. You see….I’ve said all of that and a hell of a lot worse on a ..good night. So, your wife, for all accounts is a HELL of a lot nicer than me on a good day, so grow a set …would ya?

Alright. So noted. I still didn’t get an answer as to how many of your blood you two have kicked out of your house. It’s easier said than done.

See, I’m having a hard time understanding what that has to do with the price of hemp in china.. It isn’t about throwing people out or not…what it has to do with is productivity. You are picking the wrong battle..the throwing out thing. So, do you have a problem with him being there, do you have a problem with him smoking the dope, or do you have a problem with the fact that he isn’t being productive? Prolly all of the above, but the only battle you’re going to win is the productivity battle. Unless you just want him out…and you probably won’t win that one either. Nobody but you said the first word about kicking anybody out. If that is the only solution you see, then…well, I don’t know what to say if someone tells me the only solution is to kick them out because as you’ve so duly noted in a bit of a snotty way…I haven’t kicked any of mine out and I never will, either, unless circumstances warrant it. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t get the desired behavior when and where I want it.

Ok, I want him to graduate from high school. Keep his job. And stop punching holes through walls in this house. I suppose all of that is a result of my being a shitty father, and his mother a shitty mother. The boy is 18. It’s time he started acting like it. With all due respect, productivity isn’t going to get him very far where diploma’s are concerned. He can be productive, but if he doesn’t have the proof of being able to get out of high school, most will not even give him the chance to be “productive”. Jobs aren’t exactly in abundance these dayx. He doesn’t seem to understand that, and it frustrates me. If you feel I’ve slighted you or the senior chief, well, please accept my apologies. I wasn’t the one that started the “grow a pair” deal. If you think I was snotty… again, I apologize. I just asked a question that got two additional comments that didn’t answer that question. Your last one did. Can we just continue with the understanding that I feel like I have invested a lot in a “problem child” that doesn’t appreciate any of it and continue along?

Sounds like you’re doing all the right things. What the hell can one say? At some point the boy will encounter the Stark Fist of Reality. Happens to all of us.
February 24th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
So you do have pair. Now, to answer your question, one. More than once. You need to find a way to comunicate with him. You can’t say do it here and expect him not to fill in his own blanks. By the way the one who needed it more than once is the one who works with me full time today. You are right. He has to finish High School. HE should be looking at getting further than that. If productivity is not his block I wonder if he is not challenged. It took more than me to get ours to graduate. It took both of us working both ends of his candle. I really didn’t mean to hurt anyones feelings.

OK, When was the last time just you and he went someplace and had some fun together?
I’m thinking about when the one was about the same age is why I ask. The dude got popped at school with a pinch and said he stole it from the wife. I ended up taking him to Talladega while he was on suspension. Yeah we had fun, and he began to hear me.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Look… I’m over this. They don’t fucking care, and I’m to the point I don’t either. As they say, “To each his own”… I could take him to disney, but dude, he’s 18, I could take him to a race, but I already have. If that much horsepower doesn’t open someone’s ears nothing is. At this point, I’ve written two of them off completely. Fuck the old lady and fuck the boy. Disney World, Daytona, Talladega isn’t going to do squat except cost me more money. I spend enough on them already and get no appreciation for it. Let this post die. Please.
