Well what a relief to be back at a peaceful place, my blog....lol
Sunday was my youngest son we will call him DAR DAR, 14th birthday. Being that we are from a split home he was instructed by his father that he wanted him to come visit him for that day, so respectfully Dar Dar went. Not that he wanted but he knew he would get some money out of the deal so he went. (Typical teenager). The kids came home early to chicken on the grill, and a brownie cake, so all went well.......Dar Dar's request was he wanted to go to the skating rink, lazer tag the next afternoon for his birthday......no problem, not a bad request.........WELL
Yesterday we awoke to the car wouldn't start, 1 of 3 we have down now......always something. Well instead of letting the boys go by themselves we took them, we meaning me and my fiance who we will call the CONTENDER......lol. You will see why that is in later blogs.
They were bored stiff so they said. On the ride home.......the horror began. My middle son, TD, is in an inner racial relationship, (which I am not at all thrilled about) and I overheard him on the phone referring to the fact he was not of our race but of her's.......(surely did not sit well with this mom)......After telling him to get off the phone, and he did not........WWIII broke out.
WE were still up at 2:30 am discussing racial, respect, and everything else under the sun.
Teenagers........they are suppose to be younger models of us right......NOT. WE have finally decide to agree to disagree.......only way to keep peace in the family at this point.
The good side of it all is that they all learned that if they just follow the rules, show a little more respect for the way I feel, beings I am MOM, that they will get to do more things they like to do. THey also even asked me to lay down some strict rules and they want the CONTENDER to inforce them.......wow sounds way to good to be true......only time will tell. In return I will be sure to tell you as well.
Until then..................I am still searching for the book they forgot to give me when I had them so I will know how to handle these types of discussions better.......LOL
