there was only one time that Alec wet his pants, when we were coming home from Michigan. my fault, but he should have been going in the morning on his own.
still, today, my mom thinks she needs to tell Alec to go to the bathroom.
he has always had constipation, not sure what she's using for him right now.
she had to have it her way, Alec got off the van, and I was out there,
wanted to put right in the car before he could go in settle in and
say he didn't want to go, but no, she came out, the look on her face,
the reaction, says to me, Sheri, he needs to go to the bathroom.
well needless to say, I left.
that may have been when I officially started to lose my son.
anyway, Alec once, and Beth, never.
my kids have strong bladders. I do too.
well why should Alec get on the pot and struggle to poop.
he's got lots of hemmroids.
he was better off with me. especially when we'd run at Westbrook. he seems really hung strung now. and the last time I was there, he was screaming at grandpa. gawd. I wouldn't put up with that for one minute.
ReplyDeleteI had that calendar in the rental house, I.C., Dr. Dobson saying in a quote on one month, don't let your child self-destruct. and I've been saying it to everyone ever since then, why/ I was pregnant, doing data entry at the puter, and Fletch and the boys came home from church, Jason was like 4 years old, and I guess he wasn't on best behavior in church, went to his bedroom, and Fletch him up to interrogate him, kept going on and on. he was just being a kid. I did tell my mom, then, though, Mom, he's gotta leave that kid alone. they didn't know what you know, Sheri, what to ignore, it seemed to be every little thing with those boys. kinda like how you've been treated your whole adult life, Sheri, thru surveillance. yeah. how to become an alcoholic.
ReplyDeleteproblem is, I've always known what they're saying, or thinking. wish I didn't. plus I see and hear a lot of it, when I tune in.
ReplyDeletewhat did your mom say, Sheri. nothing, but she was thinking, like she told me one time, well, he's my husband, I tell him everything. That right there is one major reason why I never wanted to get married. lots of debate on that, if a woman should choose a man over her kids.
ReplyDeletewell, they do it for fininacial reasons, Sheri. yeah. but a couple with their about 7 year old kid in a restaurant one time, the couple was holding hands, and ignoring the kid. but I guess the kid grows up to know that love means being married.
