she's not entirely wrong.  roverkid is a sullen, selfish, rude pre-teen.  I just don't really let it take a lot of energy, because she's also a pretty good kid and gets straight A's in school  If she wants to be antisocial and read books instead of interacting, I let her.   

french whore has three kids.  one's a 14 year old who's really easy going.  one's the same age as mine, and he's a freaking monster.  her youngest is 10, so still hasn't hit the rebel phase.

Yikes. 

Just that one episode out or were there signs she was looking to bail?

no, my daughter has been consistently rude to her.   she just got fed up.

roverkid is at a tough place right now.  constant fighting with mom/stepdad, always trying to cause conflict between me and french whore.  we've been trying to address it, but it's a process and french whore can't see any progress and doesn't agree with my approach.

That's fancy talk for "typical tween girl".  Trust me, I'm an expert.  And not in a :homer: way.

right.  that's why I'm trying not to overreact and give it too much airplay.  the kid gets good grades, does extracurricular stuff, plays music...so she's a pain in the ### to be around.  what kid at this age isn't?

 
you didn't ask/tell your kid to at least help... a little? 

my 7 year old made a batch of brownies last night by herself. only thing i did was put the pan in the oven.  she's 7 but.. she wanted the brownies for school.. she makes the ####### brownies.

roverkid's school has an elective for self-study of a foreign language.    the language department had an "international day" where all of the kids with the language elective would bring in a food from a country from the language they're studying--they have to make enough for like 20 kids.   roverkid takes french, so she asked french whore to help her.  french whore suggested chocolate mousse.  

we get the stuff to make it, and on the night before it's due french whore comes over to help.  roverkid doesn't lift a finger to help separate three dozen eggs, stir the chocolate, mix the whites or do, well, anything.   she has sprained her ankle so she's sitting on the couch with an icepack on, reading a book.  french whore and I do all the work.

the whole process of making the mousse and cleaning up takes about two hours.   when it's time for roverkid to go to bed, she has to be told to go back upstairs to say goodnight and thank you to french whore.  I am unaware that she says goodnight, but not thank you.

the next day french whore goes off on me about what a horrible kid she is and what a lousy father I am for letting her be rude and entitled.  she doesn't want me or roverkid around her or her gallic clan anymore.

If some French girl says someone is being rude ...doesn't that make it like All-Star level rude? 

 
And you're a good dad for doing the project for her because of her ankle. 

I would have told my kid "whelp...we'll pick up some french fries and unfiltered Gauloises in the morning for you to bring."

I asked her.  first she said she didn't know how to separate eggs (she does).  then she said she couldn't stand and stir the chocolate because her ankle hurt.   I chose to not fight with my kid in front of the gf.   gf apparently wanted swift reprisals instead.

oh, she was totally playing up the ankle thing.  I just don't have the energy to fight with her over something stupid.

I used to work in restaurants so don't mind cooking...I was under the mistaken impression that french whore was just spending time with me and doing something nice for the kid.  I didn't realize it was a parenting test.

 
Here's a parenting tip...

If you email your kid's teacher 3 weeks before the end of the school year asking the teacher to explain the classwork/chapter packet/grading system that we've been using all year (and is simple enough for a 13 year old boy/chimp to understand) said teacher is probably going to think you're a stupid b itch.

"we use common core grading.  the old A is now Gh/5.2a and the old B is now {;}8h/a'.  it's simple really. intuitive. we gleaned the method from nature. it's all around you.. you stupid see you next tuesday"

I tell my students and their parents that my class isn't easy as far as the curriculum goes but my system is a piece of cake.  To get a D or an F in my class means you don't give a ####.

 
I don't frequent this thread but I just wanted to recognize what you all are doing for Shades. That's really something he is going through and many if not all of you have responded quickly and compassionately.  

 
Pretty sure roverkid was getting passive aggressive with the French whore for some reason and french whore was fighting back.

Your parenting skills had nothing to do with this.  You were in the middle of a catfight and you didn't even see it.

 
Any self employed types in here have a good resource for getting quotes on private health insurance for a family?

asking for a friend : Oldunsure:

We have started going to a new church, and they have a men's pub night because new church people are only tolerable after you've had some booze. I didn't go last week, but this was at the end of the email update for this week:

Last week sounds like the most fun one of these yet, I'm kind of bummed I missed it.

It's the first trivia night at my parents church tomorrow night. My sister and I and our team are probably going to pre-game and post-game at my parents house (across the street from the church). There's beer for purchase but we might still bring a cooler. Catholics pretty much get the drinking and gambling right at least :shrug:

Wherever you find four Catholics you'll find a fifth.

Love to know how this goes.  Is it all around trivia or Catholic trivia?  

Most of my friends from my teenage years were Catholic and what a fun time.  I had no idea parents were so fun.  

My wife is Catholic and active in the church.  Its in the South and its much more clichey - but still hold some good parties.

There are a lot of distasteful ways to go with the bolded, but I shall refrain

What? The term "Catholic trivia" tickled me and got me to thinking of what some of those questions might be, which led me to think of some of the more unsavory news items surrounding the Catholic church and......never mind. It sounded better in my head :bag:

LOL ...sorry man.  I wasn't getting prickly, it just wasn't hitting home.  

I get on my wife about all the #### the Catholic church did over the years and how evil is AND other religions can be - Spanish Inquisition, many wars, molestation ...etc.  

Only when I want to get her worked up in a bad way.
