[QUOTE="witzend, post: 579573, member: 99"] I had to laugh at the handwriting thing. husband and I used to be Eagle Advancement Chairs in the Boy Scout District at home. We knew a kid's writing when we saw it. We knew a man's writing when we saw it. We also know a mom's writing when we saw it. I in particular was the person who gave approval of Eagle Projects and then scheduled the Eagle Interview. An Eagle Scout should be able to do PLENTY - more than fill out a form. Some of theses kids from a particular group (I won't say "Troop" because that isn't so) would come with beautifully scripted out applications, and I'd ask "who filled out this form?" the very first thing after we sat down. "My mom". Of course I already knew that. I'd send them home and tell me to call me back when everything about their application and project was done by [I]them[/I] not their mom, their mom is eligible to become an Eagle Scout. No employer is going to look at Buck and see[I] your[/I]handwriting and think that [I]he[/I] wrote it. They're going to toss it in the trash. You know what you have to do, Janet. The same thing we all did for our kids when the time came. Find a list of shelters and give it to him and tell him he's not welcome. I guess in your case it should be give the list to Tony to give to Buck, but I'm not sure. Honestly, Buck triangulates to two of you worse than any difficult child I've ever seen. If he doesn't hear what he wants from you he goes to Tony. If he doesn't get exactly what he wants from Tony he goes to you knowing that you'll blow up and try to fix it. The only way that this is [I]ever [/I]going to work is if you and Tony together sit down with Buck and tell him "three's a crowd" and it's time to go. And let him fill out his own ****ed paperwork so that someone will understand exactly how much help he needs. [/QUOTE]
