Oh, dear, Suzi. I've met CJ often and, no, I don't understand. Except that, God knows when I was a kid I said and did some cruel things that still make me cringe. Most of the time I was picked on and shunned and shamed by the other kids, and the one or two times I had any power over another kid myself, I was just as bad. And I knew it was wrong, knew that I should know better because I understood all too well how it felt to be on the receiving end -- and I
still
went ahead and did it, and I'm still not sure why.
Mostly I'm just sorry for you and CJ and that other kid.
(((Suzi))) parenting~ma for you.
This day. Bites.
- CJ problem, see above
- Major computer problems at work
- I submitted the wrong paper for my last assignment. Luckily the teacher is letting me resubmit with no penalty.
Need cave. With internet. And fernet.
{{{{{Suzi}}}}} I'm so sorry.
Much assorted ~ma to you Suzi.
I finally got around to registering and insuring my car in the state I actually live in. Of course, my insurance company lied about the order these things had to be done in, so it took all day rather than just an hour or so, but yay it's done!
Yay for overcoming the bureaucracy, sj!
Oh Suzi. I do think it's important to remember, like JZ said, that this is probably just a phase he's going through, but how awful for you to have to deal with. I think it's time to break out the tried-and-true parental guilt. Words like "I'm so disappointed" and "I don't like the person you are right now" always worked wonders on me when I did something cruel and my parents caught it. {{{Suzi}}} Hang in there. Parenting is hard.
sj, yay conquering the DMV!
In lighter news, this lolcat made me think "it was little and white and looked like a tooth, so I ate it." Hee.
Shitty day for my Bitches! That's no good. Hugs all around.
Also, Suzi's a good mom, even if she hangs my very thoughtful gift.
I had a very good day, although, I'm all out of Peppy, Engaging, Interactive, Brave, Walk-up-to-an-author-I'm-currently-reading/researching Val.
