So my fiance and I took her kids bowling last night. These kids have problems in general when it comes to screwing with other people's stuff to start with, so off a couple of them went to start bowling in a lane that was still on and had no occupants. I promptly told them no. I stepped away for a beer and I come back to see them on the lane and their mother watching and having a grand old time.

It turned into a spat and lo and behold, FSD and fiance started after me about it saying it's not a big deal. My stance - we weren't paying for it thus not ours. Add this one - if you can't make the right choice when it doesn't matter, how you gonna do it when it does matter. These kids don't make the right choices most of the time and it's important for them to learn it.

Well, fiance started arguing against me right in front of the kids - after many times in te past of "I could use some support here..." when she is counseling them.

New Year's Eve was rung in with the cold shoulder on both parts.

Happy frickin' New Year...
