Seriously. I don't care. I've mastered detachment in the grad level of course 404.
I'm so livid at this kid, but it's HIS problems, not mine anymore.
He was supposed to start college yesterday. To the best of my knowledge, it didn't happen. Let me backtrack.
We have been paying his cell phone for a couple of years. We had an agreement that when his contract was up on Sept. 17, he was on his own with it. Since we have moved, he has only answered our calls ONCE, and that was last night. I know he gets our messages because I know how cells work. If you leave a message, then call back, it goes directly to voicemail. Nope...not his. He listens, erases, then you can leave a new message. So yesterday I call and he actually answers. He's at work. (He's supposed to be at college.) I said, "You NEED to call me tonight as your cell is going to be cut off."
"What? I thought I had to December?"
"Nope...two days. Call tonight."
Did I get a call? Nada.
Let me backtrack a bit more. Before I called him, I check online my Cingular site. HE UPGRADED HIS FLIPPING PHONE TO A BLACKBERRY!!! That means another 2 year contract on his line.
I called Cingular and explained that he is NOT authorized to upgrade or do anything on this account. The account is in MY name, not his. Fortunately, they hear this all the time and reversed the contract and activation fees...and...will be shutting his line off in one day now. But, I have to pay for the phone. Nope. Not going to happen. YOU let him do this without my consent. They said they'd get back to me.
The whole thing boils down to one thing - girlfriend. Going to school means being a good 30 minutes away from her, getting rides, taking the bus, whatever. I don't really care. You don't want to go to college? Don't go, but you're not doing it on my dime. You flipping find out how to live, work, pay for your car that your bio mom cosigned for (CAN YOU SAY STUPID), pay insurance, cell bill, food, etc.
He was on a full ride scholarship and threw it away. What a stupid arse.
So, once again, I'm the evil step-mom. Well, I'm the one who raised your arse for the last 15 years, so take that and run with it. Now you won't be able to talk to chicky momma or go to school. Have fun making subs every day.
(sorry...small vent here. Where the heck is my corner?)
