Let Sleeping Dogs Rant

[Ontarkie 14,306]

Oh Tbone, this is truly crappy with all of the Mini-B stuff. 

 

Has the EX said anything about what is going on with him? I wouldn't let him make the call to stop visiting. I wouldn't give him the chance to even think about it. Your time is court ordered, he will show up for said time and he can pout in his room the whole time if he wants but it is going to happen. 

 

 

 

My best friend back in Canada is dealing with major issues but hers are because her ex is a complete and totalled (insert bad bad word here). He threw her out with nothing more then the cloths on her back. Moved his new girl in wouldn't even let her have any access to her boy. No phone calls nothing. He is corrupting that poor 11y old boy to be just like him. She's been dealing with legal aid for over a 1yr now and they are not helping much at all. No movement no nothing. It is killing her, and the longer her boy is with him, the more her ex has time to damage him. He disappears for months at a time in the US and her legal aid lawyers don't do anything to stop him from taking the kid or ditching him with some random girl at the time. SHe was married for more than 35 yrs and he was abusive the whole time and still is. 

 

I told her to get a lawyer who will go after the soon to be ex for his fees. Told her to go after everything, he has. Sadly the damage she has suffered from years of this guy will not allow herself to do what she needs to do. So she sits and waits and hope legal aid will help.

Friday GS/ES report, see man:

 

We attended all but a phantom GS (grrrrRRRRR) and one that we ran out of time to get to, si man.

 

Many (2+1) of the ESs yielded the take, see man:

  -- thick stack Dixie Ultra din-din plates = $1, steal man

  -- wooden tray, soft bath-towel, rather full bottle mega-guaifenesin = $Many ($2+2), steal man

  -- 2 T-shirts (1 Eddie Bauer, 1 "Cocoa Beach" NWT) = $Many ($2+2+2), steal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2)

Thrilling non-GS/ES Friday report, see man:

 

Got going at a reasonable time for us, ingest caffeine pill we man.

Long drive to all GSs/ESs, sigh man.

Lunch at Arby's WUOC, ingest financially savvy we man.

 

Back near the casa, stopped at Goodwill to find long pants for Mini-B., useless man.

Stopped at Ross, got pants/socks for Mini-B. we man.

Stopped at Target, got 2 pants at ridiculous price for Mini-B., stoopid to pay full retail man.   

Arrived exhausted at casa to outraged miu, treat/lunch miu we man.

Showered, felt better thereafter we man.

Din-din was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

Siesta'd for an hour, zzz we man.

 

Yakked with Mama T-B. about Mini-B., consult we man senior she man man.

Mama T-B. says to lay down the law, father not friend we man.

If Mini-B. is to live here, he will keep a civil tongue in his head, si man.

If he has complaints, he is invited to rectify them, si man.

If he continues to bomb his skool assignments, phone gets taken away man.

He should also probably caucus with the skool counselor, si man.

 

Automated e-mail from skool showed yet another undone skool assignment, 0 score man.

Mini-B. lied to ex-Mrs.-T-B. yet again,  man.

We caucused with ex-Mrs.-T-B., caucus we man with ex-she man man.

Ex-she man and we man will caucus with non-P-math teechur on Monday, attend we man and ex-she man.

 

After much angst, we have itineraried only local GSs for Saturday, oh well man.

Our expectations are low, but at least this trip won't wear us out, reason we man.

However, we shall have to arise before o'dark-Many in order to get going,  man.

No Many-year-old is going to rule in our casa, no and gracias D ma'am.

I need to go through the kids clothes to see what fits and what doesn't. The Tornado would rather I just buy her more nightgowns. She hates getting dressed if we just stay home. But we do leave the house from time to time and she needs clothes. The Jedi I pretty much lives in shorts, but if we get some cold snaps he's going to need pants. Little hot box that boy is.

I agree with your mom. 

 

Yikes another 0 that is not good. Does he realize if he keeps this up he will be repeating the 7th grade?

I think at this point the phone should be taken away by you as ex-Mrs keeps giving in. He needs to earn things back with grades and a new attitude.

Grade level precised, see and si and  D ma'am.

The above is exactly what Mama T-B. said, too, si man.

 

The phone issue is touchy, sigh man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. initially claimed that she could control it remotely, si man.

Then, ex-she man backed off from that, reasoning technologically beyond me man.

Then there came the issue of his needing the phone for calls & texts to us, safety issue man.

We nevertheless have no idea why his phone can't be limited, no man.

Iphones have lots of options. She just doesn't want to use them. Too bad you can't take the phone to the store to have them set it up for you. 

 

Safety issues easily solve with  a cheap cell phone that does not have all the fun stuff he wants.

Saturday GS report, see man:

 

We actually did get started rather early, much caffeine man.

As expected, Many GSs, few to none with anything, slow down glance drive away man.

We lost interest after about a Manyzen of these, oh well man.

 

One, however, yielded the take, see man:

 -- 2 green-plastic balls* from Hobby Lobby = $1, OK man

          *envisioned as miu-toys, envision we man

Total = $1

Thrilling Saturday non-GS report, see man:

     Always mobbed, hate that man.

     Never have everything that we need, no man -- not ever, no man.

Next to legacy supermarket that almost always does have everything, wish we'd gone there first man.

That place was even more mobbed than Walmart, hate that man.

 

Left with our nerves frazzled, not fun man.

Lunch (at 2 p.m.) was one super-long sub sandwich from Walmart, at least that was available ingest we man.

A siesta was taken, zzz we man.

Awoke and watched a little college football, rah rah go team man.

 

Went to second legacy supermarket, coupons man.

I did go and tried not to watch the clock. Still took two hours to fall asleep. Was woken up to feed the dogs and listen to the Hillbilly make noise as much as he could.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Did our Sunday domestic stuff, domestic we man.

Lunch was a frozen Mexican din-din, ingest we man.

 

Was just attempting a siesta when phone kept ringing, incessant man.

It was ex-Mrs.-T-B., ex-she man.

Mini-B. had just been bullied (badly) by boys at the nearby basketball court, oh great man.

Very long story short, we man and ex-she man will go to his skool tomorrow, si man.

We will get the phone numbers of the parents of the perpetrators, apprise them man.

We will also caucus with the non-P-Math teechur, previously arranged man.

 

Din-din was an XL 'roni 'za hastily procured by us for mollification purposes, upset wee man man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. is restricting Mini-B.'s phone for a week because of missed assignment, si man.

If he mouths off to either of us or misses another assignment = one more week minus phone, si man.

He will be allowed to keep the phone for skool/event pickup, but not for more, sorry wee man man.

Enough is enough, si man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no man.

I'm so sorry about the bullying. If it happened off/after school times the school will most likely do nothing. The school more than likely will not give out the parents or child's information. Need to involve the police for this one. I'm am so very sorry about this and this might give you an idea of why Mini-B has been acting up. You need to find out how long this has been going on. The experience I have been through with the bullying with the Tornado is the school will do squat and it will continue. I hope things will be different for Mini-B's sake.

 

It's the main reason we started homeschooling. Teachers and the administration are so afraid of the bullies parents or they have the excuse of well they have it so rough at home this is their only safe place. So they really don't do anything but maybe take away recess.

Interesting that ex-Mrs.-T-B. and we went to the skool and talked with the Assistant Principal, who said almost the same, si D ma'am.

 -- She will talk to the offenders informally, si man.

 -- She will give our info to the skool policeman, who will contact the other parents to at least transmit the information and optimally see if they want to talk with ex-Mrs.-T-B., si man.

 -- The policeman wasn't in today, so if we don't hear back by Wednesday, we should call again, si man.

 

We were lucky to piggyback this caucus with the caucus with the non-P-math teechur, who was also congenial and cooperative, si man.

 

Mini-B. was OK before and after skool today, happy-to-report we man.
