Got a call from my bride this afternoon.  She is working the last few days of extension tax season. I appreciate her dedication and taking the lead on providing for us.  I am working on my next opportunity and have an offer to start an Expat assignment in Jan. Not what I want to do but... if the other things I have in the works don't pan out by then, it looks like I will be heading back to the Middle East.

But.. this is not about that.

Good kid? What is the standard?

Fool

 

We "see" it all of the time in our community.   Countless SParents comment on how their SKids "aren't too bad", "not a bad kid", "really wonderful ... except", "difficult but it's not their fault... they are really a good kid", etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.......

At what point do parents (Sparents, etc...) call it like it actually is? 

This kid is an ill behaved POS.  Period.

Another interesting and powerful pragmatic approach to dealing with kid's issues with being manipulated/PASd by a parent.

I really like this guy and his perspective on relationships and blended families.

A.C.O.D. - Rags' Review

Well, I watched A.C.O.D.  Not a bad movie... but pathetically naive.

My take away is that the writers/director are of the opinion that family is family. I completely disagree.  Toxic POS eternally juvenile breeders that are so toxic that they ruin the lives of their children need a bullet in the head before they breed.

The prime character should have written off both of his pathetic BPs and maintained only a relationship with his brother.  Mom and dad should have been complete write offs for Gary and his brother.
