Dinner with the Skid last night. UPDATE: I only included half of the blog.

It is tax season and my bride is working the usual CPA crunch time hours until April 15th.

Skid (SS-18) and I went to dinner last night at his preferred grazing location. All you can eat Chinese buffet.

At dinner I asked him if he considered himself a happy person. He said "middle of road".

From there the discussion progressed to his mom and I, my family, his mom's family and then the SpermClan.

My son gave me his opinion on just about everyone in his extended family.

O/T Listen up, gals.....hear's the truth:

A female friend that I used to work with sent me this.

I read it to my wife. She was fine with all of them except the one about the toilet seat and the bottles in the shower (I added that one specifically for her benefit). That one made her mad.

Enjoy,

1) MEN ARE NOT MIND READERS (FIRST & FOREMOST RULE)

2) LEARN TO WORK THE TOILET SEAT. YOU'RE A BIG GIRL. IF IT'S UP, PUT IT DOWN. WE NEED IT UP, YOU NEED IT DOWN. YOU DON'T HEAR US COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU LEAVING IT DOWN.

The Scarlet Letters - GPOD or GSP

Guilty Parent Of Divorce. Guilty Single Parent.

Branding these letters on the foreheads of guilty parents dealing with toxic Xs and manipulative little shit children might save future generations of Sparents from lives of pure hell.

Coddling kids is never a good idea in any circumstance IMHO. Raising them to be people of character and substance can not be done if the kids are coddled and raised within an aura of guilt.

The forehead branding concept was suggested in another thread.

O/T - Adult Truths. My wife lost it on #24.

I am sure most of you ladies will like that one too. Personally I was offended ... but only because I resemble #24. Sometimes the truth hurts.

*** Adult Truths ***

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

Interesting conversation at dinner last night. The Skid was ranting about his SpermIdiot.

We were at dinner Sat night. My wife, our son (SS-18) and I. During dinner my SS's next oldest SpermIdiot half sib texts him about spending the evening killing ants crawling all over the SpermIdiot's food in his kitchen. He showed my wife the texts between he and his sister.

The text conversation between SS and half sib segwayed in to a a dissertation by SS about the SPermIdiot.

Well, the kid signed his contract this morning. 72 days until we are empty nester DINKs.

He is also going to go for a 6yr initial enlistment rather than 4. With his military school experience that gets him E-3 out of basic and a larger signing bonus.

I think this is a great idea. 6yrs should just about get him caught up on the maturity curve.

"There is a palpable tension in both of you when you are together."

My wife said this to me last night while we were getting ready to turn out the lights.

I think it is because I have ZERO tolerance for bullshit and stupid crap and the kid is tense because he knows that I will not tolerate his stupid crap. I am hyper sensitive to his cranio-rectitis and he is on egg shells because I jump his ass when he does something stupid.

So, the kid was home for slightly more than 24hrs and we are already back to our usual state of tension in the home.

Mom and Dad brought the kid home last night.

My parents have been getting the kid prepared for his DL test and dad has been putting him through the former Marine fitness program getting him prepped for Basic Training.

The kid scored a 97 on his driving test on Tuesday. The only points he missed was at the very beginning when the DPS tester asked him to cycle through the turn signals and brake lights. After that the tester told him to proceed forward. The kid put the car in drive, hit the gas and nothing happened. He forgot to turn the engine on. Not a huge deal but a classic kid move.

The Skid just put the last nail in his plank. Now he has to walk it.

The Skid passed the drivers test this AM and now has no barriers to going in to the AF. He will be coming home from my parents tomorrow to a packed room and the unequivical message that he goes to basic training NOW if not sooner.

He walked right in to our well planned trap and now we will no longer tolerate 13yo couch potato crap from him.
