[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 67939, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ant'smom</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am glad you are getting more detached.

Sarge has already expressed some anger over his belief that McWeedy gets off with way too much stuff, while he still plays by the rules. Dancer, while she is starting to push the boundaries a bit (she's a teen, after all), even she doesn't understand the blatant disregard of the house rules by her brother. I told McWeedy that the rules are for everyone. Heck, even [b]I[/b] call and check in with wife when I'm going somewhere out of the ordinary. It's common courtesy (or it should be). What I don't want is to ignore the rules for McWeedy, and set the stage for further conflict and issues with my other kids. McWeedy can choose to play the game the right way, or he can find another playround to play his own game in. Not much of an answer, but it's all I can offer. Mikey [/QUOTE]
