About two weeks ago, I handed my DW free reign to oversee my kids (her skids) Academic Achievements Aka School. Two of the three kids had crappy grades and seemed far more adept at giving stupid excuses as far as why their grades sucked, rather than actually coming up with/figuring out the real reason why the grades suck (they are lazy). My skids (DW's kids) have told my children nightmarish horror stories for years about how their mother reacted to bad grades. My kids are now getting a heaping helping of that reaction. Son15 is not in trouble, he has straight A's.

Yes, I screwed up.

I am not going to deny that at all. I would however like to clarify, I did not “cancel” the date with my wife. My intent was just to postpone it a few hours. SD19 wanted to go see a friend of hers in a play, a kid I have known since he was two or three and the play DW and I were supposed to be going to dinner at a local restaurant.
