So I'm asleep in bed quite peacefully, and I'm awakened all of a sudden by my SO's shouting voice. SO had gone downstairs for a 3 am snack or drink, and apparently, SS15 was found, on a school night, playing the Fortnite game in the living room secretly. There's no telling how long (days, weeks, months?)  sneaky, disrespectful, lying, manipulative SS has been doing this.

If I could have grabbed a thing of :popcorn: I would because this was sheer entertainment. SO grilling the source of much of my misery.

"You take advantage of my kindness, you f*#@ing knew you had school tommorow! That's it! I'm taking away games on the weekend! Now go get your ass in the bed. Now!"

Sounds good right?  But I know my SO. Make threats early in the week/previous weekend, "forget" about the threats and promises of punishment made by the next weekend. Get mad at me if I remind....

I won't be reminding. I'm taking friendly wagers on if SS will be playing the game this weekend.  My wager is on, yes, he will. Rolleyes.

SO gets back in the room and starts complaining to me about SS15. I'm nestling into my pillow like:

"Mmph... You handled that great honey, now can you keep it down? I'm trying to get some sleep."

I could tell SO was nonplussed. In the past, in similar "the SC messed up so bad" scenarios, me and SO would talk at length about it, with me feeding into and adding. SO is clearly getting the point about me disengaging.

Since I used to handle all their educations, I still hold the keys to the kingdom of all the software that can keep track of their grades and what not. This morning, I did offhandedly mention to SO that their up to date grades are still abjectly terrible. We'll see what SO does with that. My guess is a lot of blustering with no payoff.

I'm not bothered. Y'all have a wonderful morning!
