[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 59643, member: 3579"] Deb, I don't disagree. Only this time, I was blindsided by wife's reticence. One thing I [b]have[/b] heard a lot is that wife and I need to be on the same page. Thought we were, but when it came time to actually put wood to rear last night, I found out we weren't in accord. So I did what I could. What should I have done - picked a fight with my wife in front of McWeedy? He would thrive on that, with the end result being that he got what he wanted, got us divided (easier pickings for him), and wife and I are estranged. I did what I could. I intend to do more. I [b]wanted[/b] to do more. I wanted to take his car away last night, only to have wife tell me what a stupid idea that was. I wanted to take his phone away, only to be hit with "then how will we ever know where he is?". I wanted to really, truly tell him that he was already on his way out the door, only to be told by wife "that's a stupid thing to say". What was I to do? I did what I could. Anything more, and the family would have fractured more than it already has. As it is, I'm really considering having a "man to man" with McWeedy, and informing him that he will NOT come between me and my wife. Ever. He doesn't have the right to make such demands. But that's exactly what he's doing right now. If wife really is gun-shy when it comes to pulling the trigger (and I wanted to let both barrels loose last night), then I may simply have to put up with McWeedy until he's 18, then find some way to get him out of my house that wife approves of, i.e. one where HE initiates the departure. Sorry to say, but right at this moment I'm now more concerned with this sudden rift with my wife than I am with the trevails of my ignorant pothead son. Drifting, waiting for the wind to pick up again.... Mikey [/QUOTE]
