no date night for you
I really wanted a date night.
I wanted to go see the new Riddick movie (yeah I’m a fan, don’t hate on me!!!!!) with my husband, maybe go out to dinner first and have a grown up drink (with alcohol! yessssss)….
I made up a plan. Elias and Jacob would go stay with Baboo’s parents and Jon would stay home.
*CUE LOUD SCREECHING BRAKES*
yeah….
so many reasons why that won’t be happening.
1. Jonathon being home alone? Yeah, he’s 12 now and it’s legal and all that crap, but there is just no way.
2. Also, there is no way he won’t think it over to death and realize that the reason he’s not going to his step grandparents is because they are scared of him.
3. Yes, if you missed the entry, when my niece was born (from Baboo’s sister), Jonathon had a fight with Jacob at the hospital. He got really mad and Baboo’s parents realized what a hot temper he has. He pushed Jacob and that made them even more upset. So long story short, they are now scared of him. I guess Baboo’s dad said that he thinks Jonathon is going to beat up or kill Baboo. *blink*
So they think my son is a few symptoms short of being a pyschopathic killer or something. What’s wrong with that is that his mom is a school teacher, as if she has never come across the kids who have problems or behavior issues. They never even bothered to ask us about it or talk openly, they just tell him things behind my back to basically pick apart my child and harbor reasons to not like him and to not want to be around him.
Mind you, my parents have already said that they don’t want him at their house for long periods of time either.
Our families suck.
4. I didn’t feel comfortable with all that (above)… and thinking of the other two being there and possibly not being welcome just won’t leave my mind. So…
yeah.
No date night for me.
No nothing.
I suppose we could figure something else out, but it is more trouble than it’s worth.
blah.

I really hate to even say that I’ve been enjoying Jami and I not having any family other than Annie and his grandfather …. makes things less complicated. Have you asked him how he feels about the neglect? Once you know you can tell them the damage they are doing and maybe it will open their eyes (and hearts) and help show some love and give him a chance.

what about cooking some dinner, making drinks and renting a movie?

Sorry to hear you two weren’t able to get out. That’s so hard. Some people even teachers, don’t know what to do with kids when they get into a scary state. It’s like the part of their brain that can handle life shuts down. I think it’s a fear thing. But the thing is, after Jon makes a comment, like the blood one, do you think it’s fair to send him to your parents or Baboo’s parents place? I know Iwould not know how to handle that if the same thing happened. The one thing I don’t like is that they are talking behind your back. I can sort of get it because they probably feel awkward talking to you about your kids, they might not feel like they have a say since they aren’t his biological grandparents. But I still wish they’d try, you are Baboo’s wife now, your family is his family.

What a bunch of jerk faces! I dont even have words..this just bothers me on so many levels. It just amazes me that if your child had a limb missing or diabetes or cancer or some other disease, people would be sympathetic, but when a child is autistic or mentally ill or behaviorally ill or ADHD even, he’s/she’s like a leper. OUr society sucks.
