Even at 17yo after 16yrs or visitation the pre visitation Skidiot virus is still active.

Like clock work the previsitation idiot virus has flared up in my Son (SS-17).

Sleeping through his alarm. Missing school. Failing to turn in assignments. Getting lippy with his Mom and I. Not doing his chores. Not doing his laundry. Not showering or effectivly cleaning himself. Etc ..........................

He starts this crap exactly 3wks before each and every SpermClan visitation. He has been doing it since he was 1yo (age appropriately of course). Grrrrrr!

This time we have changed our tactics on how we are dealing with it. When we find a Skidiot Virus issue we hammer it immediately and hard.

Mom and Dad: "DO YOUR CHORES NOW!" and we make him do them to completion rather than the half assed effort we usually get out of him.

Mom and Dad: "Get your lazy butt back to school and turn in your assignements NOW!.."

Skid: "But it my teacher is not at school"

Mom and Dad "The school is unlocked until 7Pm for sports practice. March your lazy butt back to school and slide your homework under his classroom door!"

Mom and Dad: "Our whole house smells like your sweaty socks. GO DO YOUR LAUNDRY IMMEDIATELY!"

Mean while, two days later and back at the stinky house.

Skid: "Dad can I talk to you?"

Me: "Sure"

Skid: "Dad, there is something wrong with my, ummmmmm, m, ummmmm my parts"

Me: "What are you talking about son?"

Skid: "Umm, my nutts hurt and the skin is all dry and pealing on top and red and weepy underneath. And my whole body itches."

Me: "Have you washed your clothes or are you wearing dirty clothes".

Skid: "Daaaaad! I have washed my clothes".

Me: "Uh huh .... sure you have. Take off your underwear and let me see them."

Skid: "Daaad! I don't want to take off my underwear"

Sheepishly dropping trou and giving me his underwear as I give him THE look while holding out my hand for his underwear.

Me: "Son, these are very dirty and if you get them too close to your face you will notice two very distict odors. What do you smell?"

Skid: "They stink and, ummm, I think they smell like Lysol too."

Me: "Your Mother told you to clean your room and do your laundry. If I had to guess, she probably hosed down your bed and dirty clothes pile with Lysol so that the house would stop smelling like your dirty sox and underwear. Lysol in your underwear that is in contact with your scrotum would explain the painful rash son."

Me: "So, when you told me that you were not rewearing dirty clothes that really was not the truth was it?"

Skid: "Daaaaaaaaad!"

...........

So far the symptoms of Skidiot Virus are:

1. Forgetting how to use the toilet because your SpermClan is too damned lazy to take you to the toilet when you need to go and would rather put you back in diapers that you have not had to wear fo 6mos. This usually affects the 2.5-5yo Skid demographic.

2. Not following instructions on safe bicycle use resulting in smashing your front teeth out of your head because your BioDad told you that only woosies wear helmets or worried about those things when riding bikes.

..................................................

257. Painful testicular rash.

258. Extremely unpleasant odor in the living space of the Skidiot sufferer that when left unresolved can permeate an entire house.

Next intallment:

Fun with post visitation detox. Another three weeks of hell during the Skidiot Virus recovery cycle.

Best regards,

And I thought SD were bad! The only hope any of us have is for the time when they move out I guess and have to live with their own way of doing things. Then they grow up (hopefully)...

I've got nothing valuable or profound to say on this...I just wanted to tell you that having a boy and reading this made me shake my head and chuckle through the entire post. I feel your pain Wink

Oh Rags you just made mine and my Hubby's morning, I fliped my laptop around and made him read this. Suddenly knowing that my ss14 hasn't showered in two days is not the end of the world!

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill them.

Vick,

Sure he could refuse if he wanted to but he enjoys going. He gets to regress by a decade, do what he wants when he wants which is usually sleep half the day, play video games the other half of the day, and be told how great a kid he is and how mean his Mom and I are for holding him accountable for his actions.

We encourage him to go. I commited to him, my wife and even the SpermIdiots that I would never prevent our son (my SS) from having a relationship with that element of his family. I have kept that commitment. I never want him to feel that I have prevented him from being a part of that family or have undermined BioDad.

Interestingly when he gets really difficult we tell him he can go live with his BioDad whenever he says the word. He responds very intelligently and telling us that this is his home, we are his family and he does not want to go live with is "Dad".

My suspicion is that he knows that if he moved to SpermLand he would never get sushi again.

The kid is a sushi junky.

Vick,

Since we pulled him out of Military school in December and brought him home to finish HS locally he is pretty much a recluse. We moved just after he went off to school so we are a bit too far from his pre Military school friends for him to interface with them regularly.

This is aggrivated by his refusal to get his driver's license.

He is not the most socially dynamic individual on the planet so he has not made many friends since starting school locally in Jan 2010. He is tall, slender (finally) and a great looking young man. He is one of those kids that other's gravitate towards. ........ until he opens his mouth and his significant maturity deficit becomes apparent. Then the more mature higher performing kids write him off as a goober. So he ends up as the stud of the emotionally immature goobers.

I think it is the maturity deficit is the primary motivator for his consistent visitation participation. In SpermLand he is treated as a child rather than as a young man. That and with Boarding Shool he has no strong local friendships to motivate him to step up in developing his own life.

Best regards,

THIS IS MY SON---Am I married to you??? His BIDOAD is the same way. And every year, 2 wks of every year, we deal w/this, but usually after the visit w/Biodimwit. Totally feel for you. My DH wants to strangle BS each time he visits Biodimwit. It is better than him seeing hime EOWE though, man would BS be messed up then.
