I have high hopes that this report card scared him a bit.<br />Thanks :)<br /><br />Churlita: Yes, I pay for car insurance and phones while they are in school. My three oldest boys are self-sufficient, but my daughter is working and going to school. She can't afford her own insurance or phone, but I need her to have those things, so there you go. When she graduates or if she decides to simply work full time, she will be required to take over.<br /><br />Do either of your girls drive? I thought they did not...laura b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15086009761943858915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-35040921762113072482012-02-03T13:35:00.088-08:002012-02-03T13:35:00.088-08:00You pay for your kids' car insurance?

I'll pay for their phone coverage while they're in college, but once they either graduate or drop-out, they're on their own.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-81578893445134302232012-02-02T11:13:44.526-08:002012-02-02T11:13:44.526-08:00Wow..

My youngest son has always been rather indifferent to school. His dad tries to stay on top of things, but is very easily distracted. <br />Sometimes I don't mind the "two-fer" phone deal, but really it is easier to just leave a nice message. <br />Thank you for all the good thoughts!<br /><br />NoRegrets: Realistically, I can only expect her to pay for her gas and incidental sorts of things. So I will suck it up :)<br />haha! I've been through some unfortunate changes. You can imagine my despair!<br /><br />Tara: They get on separate lines. Since sometimes, for me, lacking in-person conversational clues can be hard enough the three way thing is ridiculous. No one knows what's going on :)<br />My dreams have been rather violent and I wake up frightened in the middle of the night. A lot of trying to get away from something and it is so dark I can't see. Ugh.<br /><br />Secret: Yes, they have a very...interdependant(?) sort of relationship. Sometimes I appreciate the way my step-mother is sort of a voice of reason to my dad. Sometimes I just want to talk to him!<br />You're exactly right...it is ultimately up to him how much effort he will put in. I make myself available to help, remind him of deadlines, etc. <br />Thank you :)laura b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15086009761943858915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-4351722183185217012012-02-01T12:49:24.029-08:002012-02-01T12:49:24.029-08:00My father's wife controls access to him pretty...My father's wife controls access to him pretty tightly, so I know what that's like. It bites. <br /><br />I'm sorry about your son's grades - it's frustrating when you know they can do better. And it's ultimately up to him, which is hard. <br /><br />I hope tomorrow looks a little better.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-44867753077454909792012-02-01T09:39:06.534-08:002012-02-01T09:39:06.534-08:00Does your dad and step-mom use the speaker phone? ...Does your dad and step-mom use the speaker phone? My brother does that so that both he and his wife can be part of the conversation, and I hate it too. Can't I speak one-on-one with him without an audience? Sheesh!<br /><br />I'm sorry you're going through the family problems. What are the dreams like that you are experiencing?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-76812511349156290592012-01-31T23:37:17.864-08:002012-01-31T23:37:17.864-08:00@NoRegrets- LOL!

Sorry you...Can she contribute to the insurance?<br /><br />Sorry you're blue. And you lost so much hair. And your arms are so short they can't reach your mouth. Oh, and that you have no mouth. Or feet. Orhands. But do have a fuzzy belly it seems.NoRegretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240929627271129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-35795931867401671132012-01-31T19:52:52.585-08:002012-01-31T19:52:52.585-08:00Yay!

I don't blame you for being a bit put off by it. I would rather have a good single conversation any day. And there are times when one wants a private conversation.<br /><br />Yikes... with the son's report card. I have been there too. Very frustrating. I hope his dad is backing you up on this front. <br /><br />We all have our blue moods. You are entitled. Struggles are real buzz kills. I hope things get happier soon. I'll send good thoughts your way.silly rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313221194740196751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11494946.post-83305708914581648132012-01-31T19:42:53.768-08:002012-01-31T19:42:53.768-08:00Sorry about the grades issues.

I am sure you are a wonderful mother so I am not sure how to motivate when you have already done so much. <br /><br />Jess has some grandparents that she calls for birthdays and celebrates when she gets the answering machine.MrManuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003292550689890179noreply@blogger.com
