Looks like I may actually have done it in this time!

Blessed Mom I was trying to use my American accent. You remember the widow who grabbed Chuck's butt? I'll gleefully retell the story if you forget or missed it!

Ah ha!! I remember the widder woman now!! THat story made me laugh so hard!! And now that I've seen him I can just imagine the how he looked then!

Poor Chuck!!..

Nannarob, I believe I might be related to you!

I know, Nannarob, Chuck is a sweetie and I shouldn't be picking on him. It's just so hard not to.

Well, I was just informed by my 14 year old son that I am a b***h and his uncle is right when he says I am a lousy mother! And when I told him to go to his room, he put on his coat and is now out walking the neighborhood at 10:00 at night.

And it all started because I am using my computer for a change and he wanted it. I usually use the laptop upstairs. I told him no, it is a school night and he only gets an hour a day now. I was talking on the phone to my mother at the time and he started saying nasty little things like the reason Kid#3 is grumpy today isn't because he has to get in a new routine, it's because I won't let him to go to a certain high school next year . He followed it up with they all hate me because I talk to people I don't know on the computer. (And what do they use Ventrillo for on WoW?!) Apparently it is fine when I sit in my chair and knit or read but talking to people isn't alright!? When I finally told him to get to his room he yelled the B word loud enough for my mother to hear. She said I should slap his face like she did to me, but he is a little bigger than me.
And the husband just sat and yelled at Kid #3 for his attitude about me using the computer and how disrespectful they are of their mother. I suppose he has a point but he has to remember that the last time one of the boys went through being an arse, they moved out and went to live with their dad. I nearly lost it. And the husband blamed me for it!
I know I should be upstairs doing something but I'm not sure what, and I don't know if I can take any more yelling at the moment. How do things go from good to bad in less than an hour?

honey. . you know that is not true
you know it won't last. . and he will come home. .
I am so sorry you are feeling bad about it

Well, Merle. I think I was in shock there for a moment! I hear names like that from the husband, but never my own children. I do believe they are learning things I don't want them to learn.

The bonehead did come home. He had the nerve to try to get me to feel sorry him because his life is so hard. He found out life gets much harder when you swear at your mother. He is SSSSOOOOO grounded. And he is so going to be doing chores. Not just because of what he said to me but because of the effect he had on his two brothers. The oldest was stimming something wicked and the youngest one was crying because there was yelling. I could ring his neck!! I must be getting thick skinned. I didn't even have the urge for a smoke this time like I always used to. Or maybe it helps to have a place to write it down before it festers.

Postpaleo, I'm sorry I posted this here. I don't feel like hearing about all the nice ways I could deal with him if I post it in the parents forum. I'm done complaining. They do grow up, right?

I don't normally post much but I just wanted to tell you the advice my mom used to give me."If your kids are pissed off at you, it means your doing a good job." Hang in there.
