[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 505862, member: 3419"] Well, difficult child called me from school today, sick. He's totally congested and miserable so I have to leave the extended conversation for tomorrow. I definitely will tell him that this was just too crazy-making and it needs to be planned out between the PARENTS from now on, not just the kids. The weird part is, that another one of his friends, E, has a mom who is like a military colonel, and barks orders at everyone, incl parents. "I am the PARENT. I make the RULES. I demand COMMUNICATION. I have the final SAY." So, the boys plan something and all of a sudden, they're at my house. No phonecall, no plan. This happens several times. Then, difficult child is going to a movie. I get 1 hr notice. Say what? I drive difficult child to their place and not only has the mom not COMMUNICATED with-me, but she doesn't know I'm there, and she's b*tching everyone out as she comes down the stairs. Her son is gesturing, trying to get her to shut up, "Mom, mom, Mom!" She practically walks into me and leaps a mile into the air. "That's what I was trying to tell you," he says. "Mrs. difficult child is here." It was actually funny but not, Know what I mean?? All hot air and no teeth. No follow through. (by the way, they bought and pd for the tickets in advance and did not want me to pay them back. A guilt gift or what?) Either way, I get parents who are too loud and controlling or too uninvolved, and somehow, I get left out of the loop. Maybe I just look like the trustworthy type? I've got to quit wearing Winnie the Pooh shirts and change into a black power suit. With heavy framed glasses. [/QUOTE]
