Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted July 31, 2014 You are right to be upset. But from everything you've said here his mom is a total loser so... why kill yourself over it? By the way, they posted it on facebook not because they thought he would see it, but because their friends would see that they posted it and think they were good grandparents.

gocolts 300 Posted August 1, 2014 For anybody else it's reason to be livid. For you it should be expected. Really, everything I know about your ex- I learned from you; I'd be more surprised if she followed through. Your biggest problem is your own expectations of your former wife. Oh, I KNEW she would fock him over. In fact, I predicted that she would suddenly need to move out the month of his Birthday and fock him over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gocolts 300 Posted August 1, 2014 I am calmed down today. My parents took my son to see the new Planet of the Apes movie today too. I paid my own way. I thanked them repeatedly for helping make his Birthday special. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions folks. It really did help me out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gocolts 300 Posted August 1, 2014 cool ... assfucktime Nope. He is not allowed to date until after high school. He already has some chick after him too. He came home last year telling me this chick that rides his bus said she wants to go out with him and give him a BJ. Little tramp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He came home last year telling me this chick that rides his bus said she wants to go out with him and give him a BJ. Little tramp. Oy. I wouldn't have a tight leash. 15 is too soon to date but he'll look around at his peers in hs and decide it ok to sneak. I'd rather have my kid be open and honest with me than to be afraid of punishment, not say anything, and do it anyway. I'd keep a light leash on him and make it so he feels comfortable talking to you and getting advice from you, without any threats or anger. Works much better than trying to tight leash on him, grounding him, punishing him, etc. If he sees you as a concerned friend as well as a dad, you'll get further with him.

There is no possible way for him to "sneak" around and do it behind my back. No possible way in hell. I know where and what my son is doing every second. I am blessed with a GREAT kid too. He does not run the streets or anything like that. In fact, I have never even had to tell my kid he has curfew. We have a great relationship and can talk about ANYTHING. He did come home and tell me the girl on the bus wants to blow him after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,172 Posted August 1, 2014 Gary, at the risk of me telling you how to parent your kid... if he doesn't date in HS, he is going to go out on his own (college or his own place) with zero dating experience. Wouldn't it be better for him to have some practice dates? As long as you are clear that there should be no sex involved (which most kids wouldn't obey, but it sounds like yours would), he could learn some early lessons on how crazy chicks are. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,172 Posted August 1, 2014 He already said he'll cave if his son complains. Gee thanks, if only I could read... there is a difference between caving if his son complains and proactively endorsing it within established guidelines. Not a lot of good parenting generally comes out of the lessons learned from the former approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a lot of good parenting generally comes out of the lessons learned from the former approach. You're welcome. It looked like you were having trouble. So, if his son doesn't complain, he should force him to date? I bet you're a super awesome parent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 993 Posted August 1, 2014 I have been dating the future mrs.kilroy69 for about 4 years. she had an adorable little 7 year old at the time and I didnt want to step on the toes of anyone so I kinda played it safe for the first little bit before i realized her dad was a . he stood her up for the daddy daughter dance, would tell her the presents got lost in the mail, visited for 2 weeks when he was back from his job in fla and saw her one day for like 6 hours. what I am saying is you have to wright her off and at the same time show him how much YOU love him. Its not his fault that he has a parent. But the other does the best to make up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
