So Proud.
How many of your DH's, obsessively tell your skids that they are proud of them. BM and DH have done this since I have known them. If the boy committed a murder, they would have told him how proud they were of him since he only murdered one person and not two.
Anyway ... SS and DH have been talking A LOT since SS will be here in less than a week. FML. The calls are always so nauseating that I try to leave the room most times.
I did however hear a little last night. Back story ... SS is in military and has been in trouble at least 3 times that I know of. Last time was a few weeks ago and his disciplinary action was to have to work some extra shifts.
This is what I hear DH tell SS last night....
"SS...I am so proud of you for taking your punishment like a man!"
EEEWWW..Who says that?? Is my DH and the BM the only ones that do this? I tell my kids I am proud of them at special occasions. Not just when they breath!
SS here is going to make me sick by having to watch my DH become "that" father" GAG!

Ew. As others have stated on
Ew. As others have stated on this forum before, I am NOT looking forward to this next generation entering the workforce. I don't think I'm a crotchety old grouch, I really do think there is something wrong with the way these young people were raised.
I would think your SS was a
I would think your SS was a toddler. Yes, I praise my BS3 often for silly things such as taking his shower without whining, going on the potty and remembering to wash his hands after, for sharing his toys etc. I believe that is called positive reinforcement. But your SS is a grown ass adult, I could see praising him if praise was due... medal of honor, promotion, etc but "taking your punishment like a man" How the fuck else would he take his punishment?
Just goes to show that your DH does NOT expect anything more than toddler behavior out of his adult man baby so he feels he has to provide this "positive reinforcement" GAG
bahahaha! I swear, this
bahahaha! I swear, this makes me laugh at myself, actually. I've never really thought about it, but I might be guilty of doing the same thing! I'm the proudest damn momma you'd ever know! lol! Of course, though, my kids are great
lol....yeah, agreed. I don't
lol....yeah, agreed. I don't recall ever praising my kids for taking their punishment well. :?
Skid1 got really PO'd at me
Skid1 got really PO'd at me last week. He was at the mall, told some other kid to pull up his pants because he looked stupid, and the other kid spit in his face. Apparently, FDH was PROUD of him because he didn't punch the other kid. I pointed out that had he kept his mouth shut and not started trouble, he wouldn't have had to mop spit off of his face. Duh.
Apparently, because I didn't kiss his ass and tell him I was proud of him for not beating somebody up, he blew a fuse and decided to punch ANOTHER hole in his door.
Yup, super proud of that.
What is up with these men and their need to praise mediocrity?

"So when my skid gets arrested for embezzlement one day, at least he'll shop local businesses & "give back" with the stolen funds."

LMAO! That will be a PROUD day!
Grades always used to make he
Grades always used to make he gag. SS would consistently have 30s to 40s until right before the end of the grading period. Then miraculously his grades would jump to 60 or 70. (Right above failing)
DH and BM would ALWAYS tell him how proud they were that he brought his grades up to passing.
Willow- I am so proud of you

ME TOOOOO! DH still baby talks SS's nickname ALL the time. It is so gross. SS is 21.
I wouldn't be able to keep
I wouldn't be able to keep quiet. Thank God my husband does not do this. For the most part, he sees his daughter for what she is. This is what it could look like:
"SD, I'm so proud of you for quitting high school your junior year and not your sophomore year."
"SD, I'm so proud of you for getting knocked up at 17 and not 16. And kudos to you for having the courage to have another kid exactly a year after the first, even though you could afford neither."
"SD, I'm so proud of you for being 22 and jobless, instead of working at a job that you don't like and might be hard. Good for you for not jumping into the workforce too soon."
I think he feels bad for her and her circumstances and sometimes wants to make excuses, but he knows that she has made awful choices and there is not much to be proud of. She does have nice hair.

HAHA! Well at least she's got that!
