Wow! So, you were decent this time.
Yeah buz, i usually am and i was. Because she was too.
See, i just had a LONG talk with my 11 year old son and explained to him that all the drama that goes on, me yelling or grounding or punishing him is brought on by his own behavior. So if he didn't want the drama he needed to modify his behavior. It's called personal responsibility. When i ask him a question or tell him to do something, he doesn't always listen. Actually today i had to repeat myself 4 x twice and 3 times once. Even when he DOES listen, he quite often doesn't HEAR what is being said. So, when i get upset for repeating myself and ground his butt from whatever happens to be his favorite thing at the time it is HIS fault. Not MY responsibility.
The lady to whom i dropped my bath towel was pushy, rude since she wouldn't accept that i had to get ready for work, and quite honestly is lucky i didn't kick her ass when i pulled the door to and she tried to stop me.
So, in review of the incident had she just left when i politely asked her to do so the 1st time or even 2nd time then i would not have dropped my towel. Had it been a man, i would've dropped HIM. That means SHE can deal with it, it's not mine to own. That ALSO means that my son will be working on his listening and comprehention skills even though he just yesterday recieved a scholastic award from Mr Nobama himself for academic excellence. He's not dumb, just ill prepared to deal with the serious things in life yet. He ACTUALLY is more intelligent than MANY adults i know. He would be right at home in this conversation right now as this is how he speaks too. Now he just needs to work on the listening and comprehention and i will have raised a good man.
i believe some of us adults could work on those reading and comprehention skills too.
