Do you ever feel like you just choke the living crap out of your children for just a few seconds..

[Edog537]

Kids are assholes. Especially teenage girls.

I don't know why he'd be upset with you. I've already made a deal with him to drive up there and buy all the stuff you plan to leave him for $350.

 

[Edog537]

They will appreciate you when you’re dead.

I sent my son a text the other night explaining how the guns are suppose to be divvied up and how I need to explain to him the cost that went into each one and some that can't be replaced. It was a rather lengthy text and I sent it to him in the middle of the night. As most of you know I have extreme insomnia so I'm up all night and I sleep through the day. I do most of my thinking at night time so when I have something that I need to say I'll just go ahead and pick up the phone and send the text then instead of waiting and possibly forgetting the whole idea all together. So I texted my son back tonight and let him know I have both keys to that safe and I've been meaning to send them out I've just keep forgetting. I sent this text because my eldest son contacted my sister and ask about the combination to the safe. This was basically all that I said in this text that I sent him this night. Well he got on some kind of rampage that I'm in some mood and there's plenty of reasons why that they shouldn't talk to me and all this disrespectful s*** that I don't know where it came from.

I treated those kids like kings when they when I was raising them. Their mother was out of town 6 months out of every year because she was a trade show organizer so she traveled constantly. You know the saying that it takes the village to raise the kid well I had two boys and I raised them by myself meanwhile doing some odds and ends out of the garage to make some money. My wife even told me one time that I was the best father that she had ever seen. Of course her father was no peach but she saw the goodness and how I treated those kids. I think where I went wrong is that had a little too much time on the games and they got phones and it access to the internet too early. What shows two items have been weaponized by the devil to teach and direct people into the wrong ways of life. I truly believe that now. Now I know kids get into a kind of I don't have time for parents attitude when they're in their early twenties I remember myself running around boozing and smoozing the women. But to come off and be so disrespectful on such an innocent text. He told me I was in some kind of a mood. Of course I'm in the mood you just told me there was so much reasons for not to talk to me and then you expect me not to be in a mood. Little disrespectful s***! Said my oldest son didn't owe me anything. Which I don't believe he owes me anything except the respect and admiration for raising his s***** ass from day one up until he was about 18. Man I needed medication after that text. I was livid! Every time I text those kids it's out of love and what I have to say is about what they're going to get in the future and what they want when I'm gone. Text but are nothing but about them and their needs when I go. And I catch all this disrespectful nonsense.

I'll tell you kids ( late teens early twenties ) these days are enough to drive you nuts. Not just the little drive you nuts when you're raising them but when they get this disrespectful attitude and think they know everything. That early 20's attitude is almost too much to deal with. Of course I'm just there snickering because I know when they're my age I just want them to look back on how they treated me now and Hope they've had a change of heart since then.🤬🤬🤬🤬

There is hope. My daughter used to butt heads with me now that she is older, in her 30s, we communicate much better and have meaningful conversations. It was a learning experience for both of us.

Maybe send him a shorter, more concise reply:

I only texted you about how the guns should be divided, what they’re worth, and that I still have both keys to the safe since you asked your aunt about the combo. That wasn’t meant as anything but an update.

I raised you and your brother mostly on my own while your mom traveled, and I always did my best for you. I don’t think you owe me anything except respect for that. When I text, it’s always out of love and about making sure you both are taken care of in the future, so it really hurt to get such a disrespectful response.

 

[lostchild]

Calm down, think on it, change will as necessary.
But, HAVE A WILL!

 

[greg vess]

I don't wish family drama on anyone. Hope you get it worked out.

Well it's just one comment he made that really hit me in the gut. The same kid 4 years ago when he came to visit said " I can't think of you doing anything different because I had a wonderful childhood! ". Now how to go from that to total disrespect over just a short period of time. It's baffling! It will be all good the next time we speak but I just had to vent. LOL I really think the internet spreads these seeds of hateful and disrespectful attitudes. That something I can't do battle with. Oh well I will just keep on chugging along and it will be alright. He will realize it one day.

Has he gotten married during that period?

He may have just been having a really bad day, or the tone that you meant didn't come through in the text.
