It is now official. I am now the worlds most evil Step Father.
MY SS did comparatively well this past school years academically. However, he struggles with writing structured papers and absolutely hates it. English was his lowest grade and he BARELY made the cut in that class.
I instructed him to find a Sylvan Center or a similar program and get himself signed up for a Writing class so that he can go back to school in the fall for his Sr year of high-school better prepared to perform well in English and other writing intensive courses.
BioDad and SpermGrandMa suddenly have developed a keen interest in grilling the Skid to make sure that HE is doing what HE wants
These people have never given a flying rats ass about anything but how to avoid responsibility for my SS and how to use the Visitation/CS CO to manipulate my Wife.
Now, all of a sudden, they are keenly interested in making sure that SS WANTS to go to JROTC Leadership Camp and that Mom and SDad are not forcing him to go?????????????
And he just got off of the phone with BioDad. He actually called the idiot to tell him.
BioDad asked two questions.
1. Do you want to do this or do your Mom and HIM want you to do it?
Good question and exactly the question I would ask if I was him. So I will throw him a bone and say that he has at lease one viable brain cell in his head.
2. How much is this going to cost me?
The Skid is truly becoming a formidable young man.
So, the kid gets a letter on Friday informing him he has been selected for and invited to Summer Leadership Camp the two weeks before school starts. This is a really cool thing for kids that attend Military School. It means the Cadet Leadership, the academic staff and the administration think he has something to offer and it develops kids in to leadership roles in the Corps of Cadets.
The whole invitation letter thing is a funny story that I will blog on later.

Yes, it often happens that a truly inept parent retains custody or visitation even with impeccable witnesses against them.
In a now deleted thread asking if a custody or visitation can be stopped due to a person be a poor parent it was asked if teachers, school officials and other impeccable witnesses condemn the individual as a poor parent. In my research and direct experience it takes a truly incredible chain of events and heinous behavior by a parent to take custody or visitation away. To the detriment of the child. IMHO.
The answer is often yes, it is extremely difficult to take custody or visitation even from a truly bad parent.
Is it just me or is it getting crazy busy around our "little" community?
I am going to have to quit my job and get divorced just to keep up with my STalk surfing! 
A few short months ago I could reasonably skim each and every post in each and every recently active thread every day. That is not happenin these days.
I have to participate in a limited number of threads until they burn out. As one burns out I add one but I can't keep up with them all.
Any recommendations on how I can improve my surfing efficiency?
One of my senior employees missed work on Monday. At the CourtHouse filing to end CS.
He came to work yesterday on a cloud. He said that he was the only person at the courthouse walking around with a smile on his face. He has four children. Two from his first marriage (21 and 18) and two with his current Wife.
He came to my office and just sat there with a big ol grin on his face, turned to me and said. "17 years $130,000 and I just got a $600/mo raise". "My XW is going to freak out. I am not calling to tell her, the CSE will send her a letter".
The Wife is a bit frustrated with me .... "The kid is home and you are letting everyone know that YOU are in charge"
Wow,
Interesting how a Skid can rain on what is usually a fairly steady state of marital bliss.
My perspective is that it is not about me, it is about him.
He stinks so I tell him to shower. When he is in the shower for less than 5 minutes I send him back to do it again, and again and again until I am confident he did it right.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

From the heights of pride to the lows of disappointment in less than 24 hours.
On the relative scale of stupid Skid behavior this is not all that bad but it did bring tears of disappointment to my Wife's eyes.
I was on my way home from work last evening when my wife called my cell to see if I was on my way and to ask what I wanted to do for dinner. I told her that since it was the Skids first full day home that they could decide and I would be there to pick them up in about a half an hour. I also asked if the Skid was showered and presentable.
