Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
wow - this has not happened in a while.
mac just lost his damn mind.
backstory - I got called to school today because he went to the nurse's office, ran to the bathroom, and got sick. That was about 1:20.
He missed 1 class of school.
So I drop him home, tel him to go to bed and go back to work. Get home at 5:15, he's on the couch watching tv. I ask him if he got sick again - no. I ask him how he feels - he says normal.
6:20 he comes in asking if he can go play basketball with a friend and I say no, you came sick, stay here and give it a day. He goes and gets his ball and goes to play in our driveway. I go and tell him to come in, if I don't want him playing ball somewhere else I don't want him doing it at home either. Throws the ball into the garage - screaming and yelling and "You're a horrible parent" and "he hates everything." I am looking at him like he has lost his damn mind, because HE HAS LOST HIS DAMN MIND. good lord child, sit on the couch for an evening - you do it all the time. I say that I am not going to have him talk like that to me, it makes no sense him being all upset and he goes on - so I tell him, you best just go take a shower and go to bed because your wireless is going off now. And he flips out and leaves with his old school flouncing and I am still just looking at him like he is crazy and asking him why he is getting so upset it literally MAKES NO SENSE and he starts insulting me again, so I say fine, leave please, get out of this house - you come back when you can talk to me and I lock the doors behind him. unbelievable.
so he may be sleeping at a friend's tonight.
Oh no.
I'm sorry, msbelle.
I'm all good by the way. It was so nonsensical and way off for him.
Something significant happened and he's upset and doesn't know how to express it helpfully?
{{msbelle}} And they say teen girls are emotional. Sorry.
Double post!
Stupid slow internet at my sister's house. Annoying.
Well, I hope it's out of his system, the physical badness and the nonsense.
He is home for anyone concerned. he's opened the garage and is playing basketball in the driveway. I'll put his key back out in the mudroom and go take a shower and go to bed to give him space to come in when he wants. Maybe by the morning he can apologize.
