Let the little shit go
Apr 10 2004 7:31 pm
And finally, we're in active litigation, so I'm really not looking for advice that includes talking to BM. I'm looking for thoughts/suggestions on how to deal with the team sport/I made a commitment aspect of things with SS. I don't want to hammer him if his mom's an active problem. But I don't want to let him use that as an excuse, either, when it may be in part his responsibility. Make sense?

We're opposite on the team sports thing. I think there are a billion other opportunities for learning about working as a team. And I think the commitment at your SS's age is primarily a parental one.
That said, what are you doing, Rebecca? The situation between DH and BM is about as bad as it gets. You've got to let the little shit go. Even if this is medium shit for you, you've got to let it go. Yes, she can obstruct. That's the way it is. You don't have to like it. You just have to accept it. Like snow. Think snow.
