^same here. Hence, I got a job at 15 so I had $ to do things...even though 99% of it went to pay for college.

He has his own money, and he had a job, but his last day was last week, and he has some savings for school this fall. He knows we don't just hand out money, and we expect him to make some contribution to the household chores...it just feels like he has regressed into a 12-year old again, or maybe a 2-year old. That's what makes it so annoying.

its funny how kids act better when they are out of the house..

my oldest (only 15) when I watch him at scouts, band, he is very responsible, mature, gets home and you have to remind him to use toilet paper....

I cant figure it out either and I am sure it will be the same when he is waiting to go to college / circus / etc..

I still demand food from my parents when I visit them. I know I shouldn't, but come on, they're Mom and Dad.

 

[csb]

I don't remember where anything is at my parents' house anymore. My kid needed a band-aid and I had no clue.

I'm sorry but I just laughed out loud at that! I'm the same, I have no clue about soccer other than kick it in the goal. I'll coach baseball or football any day though. I coached mini-ble1's tee ball team last year and while it had its frustrations, I had a good time.

RG, send an email to everyone to show up with football equipment. Say that it is what soccer has evolved to in the real world and see how quickly you are no longer a volunteer coach!

 

[Road Guy]

I am thinking of making a new Gmail account something like sexy dad [email protected] to use for my current email address

 

[engineergurl]

This had me laughing so hard... thanks RG

Yes, the goal of parenting is separation.

MA--He is going to be about 2.5 hours away. I think that's a good distance. I know the feeling about the absent disruption because whenever he's around right now, it involves him asking for $$, or food, or generating dirty dishes and laundry and then leaving.

that is a good distance. Far but not too far. It is kinda nice finding the house the way you left it when you come home from work.

First football practice was a hit. Our kid is a born sprinter, so he loved suicides (WTF?!). We'll see if the excitement keeps up.

He commented that a bunch of kids said, "This is way better than wrestling!" That's funny, because we had him in club wrestling and that sucked. They wanted every kid to be ready for the Olympics.

 

[Road Guy]

If he really likes football your going to have to move to the South to get some real practice in

Still no baby. My wife had an ultrasound yesterday and the baby seems to be doing fine. She's a week past her due date though

and the doctor said if no baby this weekend, then she will need to be induced on Monday.

 

[Road Guy]

been there, that sucks... just keep the AC cranked down..... hope for the best!

Buy her whatever she wants to eat or drink! Do not question! Just procure!

 

[envirotex]

And walk a lot...

 

[csb]

Yeah, and hit that.

 

[YMZ PE]

Yeah, and hit that.

This! It's kind of like plunging a toilet.
