And the parents of the year are.......
Not DH or BM. SS8's Blue and Gold Banquet for cub scouts was Saturday at 5 PM. I was waiting because I was sure I would get that last minute panic call about what to do from either of them. No calls. OK, I went about my evening. I couldn't help it though. DH texted me to tell me to have a good evening. He knew I was going to dinner with my girlfriends. I texted back "Thanks. How was the banquet?" Cue the crickets here. No reponse.
Yesterday I get a text. He forgot and didn't take SS8 to the banquet. I was wondering how he was going to do that when the uniform is in my car! BM forgot completely as well. SS8 is with her this weekend. They are the shittiest parents! I texted DH back and said at this point they might as well give up on cub scouts because neither one of them are committed to their son and this program that would be so good for him.
Who wants to take bets that DH forgets the regular meeting tonight as well? And yes, the uniform is still in my car. Dumbasses!

That sucks for SS! The Blue
That sucks for SS! The Blue and Gold is one of the best events of the year
I know! Both of my bio sons
I know! Both of my bio sons were in scouts and the banquet and camping trips are the best. They are so shitty at being parents.
That is just sad.
That is just sad.
Reminds me if ExH. I've told
Reminds me if ExH. I've told him over and over that meetings are on mon nights (while the boys are with me). He keeps saying he wants to be involved with them with this but he has only attended once.
He gets the Siam reminder emails that I do so I don't feel the need to tell him every week about what's going on.
Oh well. At least my boys have me and their step dad participating with then.
Blue and Gold banquets are
Blue and Gold banquets are awesome and only once a year...That is a shame. My son is an Eagle and the program saved him from all sorts of things that could have happened after his father died. I even serve on our council board now. Also, he would not have gotten into the college he did, if Eagle was not on the application....That has been confirmed.
His son really could use the program if the parents are not very clued in. He will get access to great parents there that believe in the program.
Well BM says that mothers
Well BM says that mothers shouldn't go because it is a boy activity and the father should go. I was an Assistant Scout leader for my BS21 and it was nothing but moms bringing the kids! DH says he wants to be involved but then he gets so wrapped up in his own crap that he remembers things to late, like the banquet. Neither one of them will ever admit that what it all boils down to is that they are so self-absorbed, for whatever reasons, and they are cheating SS8 of some many things.
I wish I had been on this site a few years ago when SS8 attempted soccer and baseball (at my suggestion). It took all I had to not beat DH, BM and her husband upside the head at each game they actually managed to get SS8 to. And of course you know who paid for all of the equipment! Moi!
They are lazy parents. Your
They are lazy parents. Your DH just has to use a calendar and put the dates in there. BM is clueless, lots of moms are involved in scouting. I didn't camp but, participated as Committee chair and then was program chair for the district and now serve in a fundraising capacity for the council.
They are robbing him of a great experience that will make him a leader and get scholarships.
I borrowed a quote off of
I borrowed a quote off of here the other day when speaking to DH about SS8 and the lazy parenting that he and BM do. I said "Better to raise your children correctly now so parol officers don't have to do it for you later."
He's response: "What are you trying to say??"
(This is where I hit my head against the wall continually."
