So, SS13's mouth got him in trouble at school today because he doesn't know when to shut up and some kid gave him a punch in the arm. Naturally he took this opportunity to play it up big-time to BM, who eats it up with a spoon, and took him to urgent care for x-rays. Of course, a sock in the arm doesn't result in a fracture 99/100 times, and SS13 was no exception, but BM insisted on his arm being in a sling. I don't know the full details of what happened since I just got home from my 12 hour work day and couldn't care less about him, but I'd be willing to bet copious sums of money she tries to sue the family of the kid who punched SS13. Do I condone physical violence to resolve issues? I do not, the other kid probably shouldn't have done that. Do I think SS13 needs to learn to shut his mouth some other way? Yes I do. I do big time.

PS, I just found out that it's pretty much 100% SS13's fault. Apparently what happened is that SS13 was trash-talking this kid, who told him to stop. SS13 then made it worse by kicking the back of this kid's chair. The other kid got up to leave the situation, and SS13 started taunting him by calling him a baby (ironic since SS13 is probably the biggest baby I know). By this time, the other kid completely had it, and socked him in the arm. Also, BM didn't take him to urgent care, she went full-on ER for this. Seriously.

Natural consequences are a powerful thing. Usually. Unfortunately, BM is such that she will make sure SS13 never has to take responsibility for anything he does as long as she's alive...so she'll be there to save him until her dying breath. BM's mom is the same way, so BM HERSELF will be bailed out continually until her own mother's dying breath. Since BM is a smoker and is anorexic, I'm guessing it'll happen a little sooner than most, but still it will take until he's in his 30's at least. This isn't the first time he's been beaten up because of his out of control mouth, and he's been told before by DH that this is what happens when his mouth writes checks his butt can't cash. I seriously thought he would've learned by now, especially given the fact that he is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than other kids his age and is very easy to beat up. He is definitely one of the biggest drama queens I've met in my life. Not exaggerating.
