ugh

OK, in quick form.

Sean went downstairs to help his dad put up the clothesline. Sean was already irritated at his parents because they told Mason to take a shower after Sean had already told him to get dressed. "His grandfather and I told him to take a shower, and its our house, so hes going to take a shower'

Sandra asked yet again how come Sean wasn't wearing a hooded sweater she bought for him. He told her he does wear it, its just at home. She barked back with "that sweater cost me $100 and I never see it on you, if you weren't going to wear it why didn't you just tell me to return it!?" Sean repeated his answer and she spouted off thr same spiel, different wording. The raised voices got Mike involved, who then brought up how Sean has a "bad attitude" and "we do so much for you and you do nothing for us", which then brought on " your mother just bought you a $800 computer and this is how you fucking talk to her?" To which Sean replied:

"I know she bought it dad and I just gave her some money back to her yesterday for it, its not like I'm not paying her back"

"Yea well, you can send checks from now on because You're not coming back here with that attitude"

"good enough dad"


Sean went off upstairs to where I was playing with Mason to distract him from the yelling. I gave him about 10 mintues to calm down and then went in and asked him whats up. He asked if we were packed up and when I said yes, he said good because we're leaving. I told him fine, but he had to tell Mason. This was 10 in the morning so he didn't want to lose a whole day with him, so we took him with us. They were not expecting that.

"where are you taking Mason?"
"I'm taking him to get some lunch and a movie, then I will make sure he gets home"
" You can't do that, we picked him up, we're responsible for him!!"
"He's my son, I will make sure he will get home without you"
"so you won't even come back for supper?"
"no mom, I was basically told I wasen't welcome here'
"You're father just lost his temper he didn't mean it"
'yea, but he said it mom.."
"well, are you going to come with us to see you're brother off?"
" I don't know mom"
That caused her to attempt a guilt trip and say how Sean was acting childish and she stormed off.

They called about 5 to see if we were coming for supper.

Now Sean did call her when we were at the gas station to let her say goodbye to Mason, and she asked fairly snotty "so do you need you're father to pick you guys up?" and got a shock when the answer was no, and that we would be taking a bus home.


I am so proud of Sean for standing up to his parents, despite how much it hurt him..we were supposed to have the family dinner to celebrate his birthday on the 1st, but now I doubt they will call. I did manage to get mason to pick out a card ans sign it for his dad, so I do have that for him.
