My wife told him after the swearing in ceremony that she was proud of him.
He responded .... "Mom, I haven't done anything yet". :jawdrop:
Another jawdropping moment from my Skid. :O
I am so used to seeing him bask in the everyone gets a trophy praise for breathing that schools pump out these days that his comment actually surprised me.
Maybe he learned something of what his mom and I have been trying to engrain in him after all.
Time will tell.
The Skid swore in at 12:00 today. The recruits all spent the night in a hotel last night and were bused to MEPS at 04:00 to start their in-processing. 9 who processed through MEPS this AM for the USAF will all go to basic together.
Another kid has the same AFSC :? as my kid so they will be in basic and tech school together. That should be good for both of them.
So I've been telling dh for a month that the weekend before my bday, the kids and I would be going to visit my parents. He didn't realize it was a ss weekend. I did and that is why I am going the weekend before my bday and not after. I figure the perfect bday gift for me would be to NOT have to spend time with ss. Right? (Btw, dh and I have no problem spending a weekend away from each other now and then.) Besides that, dh spent one night last week drinking with a buddy. Whatever. Then he spent ALL day Sunday golfing with friends...in a town 2 hours away!
DH and I only have SS on weekends but the CO specifies that we are allowed to take him on vacation when he is on break from school. We have never actually taken SS on vacation, mainly because he is about to turn 4 and up until recently taking him ANYWHERE was such a hassle! Even going out to dinner would turn into a huge ordeal, but now that he is behaving better DH is considering it. We just got back from the beach about a month ago, and as soon as we got back he mentioned that he wanted to take SS with us next time.
All of Hubby's talk about standing up to Demented and if she didn't take SS for her scheduled weekend then she wouldn't get to take him until her next scheduled weekend was a giant load of garbage. I will be meeting her on Friday at 4:30 and then on Sunday at 7 pm.
I guess I've been notified where my place and my feelings belong in this house - haven't I?
What a joke.
My dd is graduating this year and she has been accepted to several colleges and she has already choose one. I am so proud of her as she has done everything herself. She has lots of scholarships. Already has her dorm reserved with her best friend as her room mate. I did nothing for her at all she did all this on her own. She has everything set up to where if she keeps her grades she keeps her scholarships. I told her last night she needs a job and save that money for when she goes as she doesn't know what will come up that she has to pay for.
With all of this phone deal, the old angry feelings I had are back.
Quick recap: I got my daughter a phone last weekend, right after SD12's birthday. SD12 got a phone for her birthday. SD12 thought that DD11's phone was nicer and told everyone but her dad that she no longer "felt special" for her birthday. SO was getting it from all angles, BM, BM's sister, BM's father and even SO's sister about how SD12 was sooooo upset. Hence, SO bought SD12 a phone like DD11. So now SD12 has 2 phones.
In reference to my last blog......current update.......
situation...my fiance found out last week that he may have an 8 year old.........waiting for them to get a paternity test.........
We have booked 12 days away for the summer holiday. The kid is with us for 2 weeks. He was just here for the 3 days (the longest so far) and I honestly couldnt wait for him to go.
I do not know how to survive entire 2 weeks with this kid.
I already know hows it gonna be. He is gonna call 'Dad, dad, daaaaaad' for every little shit. He wont be able to spend one minute entertaining himself. He will want everything to be about him. He will not want to go anywhere but stay inside the hotel complex (probably he wont want to go to the beach, only the small pool in front).
So here's the scenario: A couple is happily married. The woman has a child who lives with the new couple. The husband has had children from a previous relationship. The husband's children have not accepted their father's new wife. And there is always friction. How does the wife deal with this situation to command respect from these children while avoiding bring friction into their union? What should the husband's role in all this?
