This is just a vent, because I am sunburned and tired and I want to go to bed but I can't because I have to wait until I get my son's baseball uniform washed and dried because he has a game early in the morning.

 

He (my 13 year old) has turned into a jerk! I know this is probably normal, but damn! It's like a new kid is living with me. He just can't seem to realize that the world doesn't revolve around him. He expects me to wait on him hand and foot, hand over money whenever he feels like it, or ferry him and his friends to wherever they want to go regardless of what I am doing. Of course, this doesn't happen, so then he throws fits and slams his bedroom door. Everything now is "Gay" or "Stupid". I hate those words and he knows it, so he uses them all the more. His teachers are all gay. His baseball coach is stupid. My husband is stupid. I'm sure I am stupid too when I am not in earshot.

 

He is mean to his little brother and sisters. My 5 year old adores him and it makes her so happy to be able to give him a kiss or a hug. But he is such a twit, that she waits until he is asleep and sneaks in to his room and kisses him then because he won't let her any other time!!!

 

Today, he had a baseball tournament that was an hour and a half away. I drove there this morning, watched his first game that started an hour late, cheered all the way through, made sure he iced his arm and took his ibuprofen, bought him gatorades. But I had to go home for the second game.... it didn't start until 4:00 and I had to come home and work tonight for awhile so I would be able to go back tomorrow to watch the rest of his games. So he calls me and whines about how I never watch his games, and I don't even care about him, blah blah blah.

 

What a brat! I can't believe him. I swear it's like no matter what I do, it's never enough. The weird thing is other parents are always telling me what a nice polite young man he is. I always say "You are talking about my son, right?" LOL

 

So now I am killing time, waiting for His Highness' uniform to dry, so I can go to bed and venting to you so I can refrain from beating him senseless, although that is hard to do now, because he is a tall as I am, which sucks!

 

What a boob! Like I really want to spend my Mother's Day driving back and forth watching baseball games all day! What I really want is to be by myself for about two days straight.

 

Okay, done now, just heard the dryer buzz, thank God. Thanks for letting me vent. :)
