I've got to stop talking about my home life with my mom.

I try not to discuss SS16 with my mom, but today we somehow got on that topic. My mom keeps telling me how strict I am, and that a lot of what SS16 does is normal bratty teenage crap. No, that's the problem he's emotionally 10 years old, an does not act like a normal bratty teenager. When he's thirty is when he'll finally start learning how to act like a teenager.

I keep telling her, I'm not allowed to be strict or lenient or to be anything! All I do is tell him to wrap up the video games (SO insists he play them in the living room, long story) when I get home from work or when I'm working in the kitchen. He gets ample time to play, like 6-8 hours a day in the summer sometimes.

Ugh. Love my mom to pieces but she'll never understand what I live every day.

HA... sounds like BM2! I mean according to her SS14 is just being a "normal" kid when he

1. shoplifted at 12
2. fails school every year
3. goes to drinking parties with his 21 year old brother
4. had sex at 11 (BM gave him the condoms)
5. smokes pot, buys pot and most likely distributes it for his brother

I guess the dictionary in BMs house has a different definition of "normal" that the one at our house does.

Was your mom really lenient with you though when you were that age????

Okay, Daizy, I'm going to stop whining now, your SS makes mine look like an angel. mine is just a huge mama's boy who has a little bit of mini- wife syndrome. I don't know how you do it and keep your sanity. You're a saint to put up with all that. I hope you don't have a lot of contact with your SS11.

Thankfully haven't seen SS14 since March... because trust me I don't want him anywhere near our BS3! SS and BM got pissed at DH when he refused to buy SS a birthday present because rather than spend the morning having breakfast with SS(as planned) and then going shopping for a present, DH had to drive around the city for 3 hours looking for SS14 because he snuck out of BMs with his 21 year old brother (not DHs)the night before and went to some kegger party and apparently was passed out.

Seriously after ALL of that... BM was pissed because a. DH yelled at SS and took his phone away and b. DH didn't buy him a birthday present. Like really??? Your JUST TURNED 14 year old snuck out, was at a drinking party and had TONS of texts and pictures on his phone in regards to buying and smoking pot and you're pissed at DH for reaming him and handing down some consequences??? UGH!

And yes... BM gave SS condoms at 11 so he could have sex... MOTY right here. seriously, just ask her!
