You are here

Okay, maybe it is not as bad as I thought .... at least not yet.

Got a text from the Skid. He got a 90 on the first test of unit two of tech school.

My response ..... 90 is not too bad. What happened to the ther 10pts? Wink
Keep up the focus and good work.

I am proud of you.

Love
Dad

He is trickling downward in his scores at about the rate he is reingaging with the SpermClan. Hopefully he will get through training in Biloxi before he bottoms out to the level of performance his entire SpermClan lives at.

Cross you fingers, knock on wood and sacrifice a goat for him. He needs all of the help he can get to counter the shallow and polluted end of his gene pool.

I thought about the "what happened to the other ten pts" comment shortly after I sent it. I could have not mentioned the other 10 pts.

However, this kid has trained his mom and I how to deal with him over the years. Invariably if we do not keep him focussed on performing to his potentional he won't.

His regular phases of performance are 1. Do extremely well the first period. He shows his instructors how brilliant he is, is polite and respectful. His mom and I back off. 2. Second period. He maintains the instructor shmooze but his grades drop precipitously and the lying and sneaky crap starts.

We see it begining again only this time he is sending money to the worthless POS SpermClan. This is a new problem that we can only bring to his attention from our perspective. Since it is not our money, we can't help him. He is on his own on this one.

It happens every time if we do not stay on him like stink on Limburger. Hopefully the military instructors and NCOs will not fall for his usual bullshit and will keep him focused.

I truly hope that he keeps his head in the game consistently enough to not cost himself yet another opportunity.

His mom and I will have his back but we also will hold the mirror of reality up for him to view his behavior in a realistic light. Not like THEM who just tell him to do what he wants to do and that things will work out. Ummm, his mom and I will not support him, house him, give him vehicles and raise his OOWL spawn as the SpermGrandParents have done with his SpermIdiot. We will have his back but will not mitigate his crappy life decisions any longer.

But, I really am proud of him. I am just paranoid that we have seen this same cycle before.

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback.

While your comment if taken out of context of the whole relationship might lend itself to a backhanded compliment, I have to assume that your son knows and feels how proud you are of him. If your posts here speak of your true nature then he feels it.

I understand your caution. I can't imagine having to let my son completely free into the world without worrying about him. No matter how well we feel we are teaching them good life lessons.

He's lucky to have you to keep him on a good path toward success !

I'm guessing he'll make some mistakes along the way, especially with his father's family. There a certain amount of emotional conflict there I would think. They are certain to try to take advantage of him and his new found independence. Unfortunately he'll have to learn some of that the hard way.
