On the homefront.


Oldest daughter has has a complete attitude turnaround. Instead of fighting cussing and destroying stuff, She has been helpful, kind and apologetic when she makes a mistake. I read somewhere that children stop being egocentric around 8 years old so she is right on schedule...

Youngest daughter is holding onto her crap behavior as long as she can. She put liquid soap and fish food in her sisters hairbrush, sneaked into my son's room in the middle of the night and hid his school clothes. She cusses, fights and runs from me when I try to punish her. I don't cut her any slack because I found out that to her leniency is a sign of weakness. Unfortunately, I have to punish her for every infraction, every time no matter how inconvenient. God I hope she outgrows this shit soon. She runs too fast and dodges too well..she could be a star quarterback in the midget league.

My son is doing well considering. Turns out his middle school has an academic hard on (an exemplary school), so he has about three hours of homework each night. I help him all that I can but it's getting to the point where I have to google all that shit I forgot 30 years ago.

I was also told that this school has a star athletic program and not to get your kid involved unless he is star athlete material. I was told by some other parents and teachers that the coaches are gigantic cock sucking fuckwads but they fill up the trophy cases, so they basically are left to their own shitty devices.


The coaches also teach P.E. Just his luck, my son gets the biggest fuck nozzle asswipe of them all. Yesterday, my son told me that he couldn't get his gym locker opened so he asked coach fucknozzle for help. The coach says "not my problem you deal with it" So he's having to walk across campus to put his clothes in his regular locker then gets in trouble for being late.

Then he tells me that the older kids are coming into the locker room and harassing and bullying the sixth graders while they are trying to get dressed The coach just stands there and ignores it.

It's like deja vu. I will not tolerate my son having to put up with the same humiliating bullshit that I had to. I had no one on my side when I was a kid, so I vowed long ago to always stick up for my kids when they need it.

I called the school and let them have it. The administrators say they are going to interview the coach regarding his cock nosed behavior...I told them they had better or I was coming down there to talk to the coach myself

They don't want me to unleash the wife on them. She is mean as hell and has been professionally trained to destroy human ass bags.

HAMMER!

you make me want to curse!

could be your wife and i are related - i don't put up with sh*t where my children are concerned either - they're good kids and have been picked on relentlessly - fortunately, they've witnessed my impeccably consistent b*tcharse behavior a time or two and now no longer take crap from anybody.

too many parents DON'T back their kids up when they need to and then you have the sorryarse parents who take up for their little criminals-in-the-making at every stinking turn.

our soon to be 16 year old daughter was reminding some of her friends of her b.d. party coming up - a couple of boys overheard and asked if she was having booze at the party - she responded negatively and they hounded her so she said, "i'm never drinking and i don't need to have booze at my party to have fun!" then she may have clocked one of them...

Some of my most horrendous memories are related to junior high PE. And they all came flooding back just now...thanks! Good for you calling the school. For each parent that has the sack to make a call, there's a hundred more who want to but don't because they're cowards. You did good.

Where was your wife professionally trained? I think your wife and mine went to the same school. \

Stay on the school as you've been doing. The only way to get results is to be the squeaky wheel or the asshole who won't let them off...

Why do so many of these coaches have to compensate for their own athletic inadequacies with the kids in their charge? Good for you for calling him out on his bullshit behavior.

U should actually send ur wife to ur son's school. Maybe its the easiest way to teach the coach a lesson?

Damn! I wish I'd have had parents like you. Good for you, sticking up for your kids like that.

Normally, I have a hard time facing asshole teachers, but I will do it. My son was once put in the corner of the room in front of the class. I went to that teacher and let him have it. Told him he could put my kid in the hall, send him to the office, CALL ME, but was NOT to put him in the corner in front of the class like a dunce. That teacher hung his head and acted like HE was the kid in trouble. I think more teachers just need to be called out on their stupid behavior.

We are working on year two of the process and I'm hoping for much better results. If not, I'm kicking ass and taking names ... just like your wife *wink*

Sounds like you are both good parents. Glad oldest girl turned around. Will keep fingers crossed for youngest...
Raising kids is tough, and junior high school is hell - glad you are sticking up for your kid and hopefully the coach will clean up his act/

You and your son shouldn't have to deal with those things. It's wonderful that he has such strong parents.

My son's high school sent home not only many math sheets to complete during the summer, but also the English department sent a book home to read. I made sure he completed both. But he started school last week and I asked him what the status was on those items. Apparently the math packet was downgraded from a mandatory turn in on the first day to an extra credit item and nothing has been mentioned at all about the book. I will be calling the school on Monday to get more information. He spent alot of time doing both assignments plus participated in a pre-college program so his summer was cut short. They sent the work home, he did it, he's getting FULL credit!

Soap and fish food huh? That's got to be difficult. She'll come around.

I wish I would have had parents like you and your wife and that I was married to someone like you or your wife :) My son was bullied and I went all the way to the Superintendent but it did not good. I get pissed just thinking about it.

Your little daughter sounds like a real pistol! I wish I would have thought of the fishfood soap in brush idea when I was a kid!

Oooh, I like to see that. I have a few years of beating-people-up training too. Wish I could help.

Thanks for sticking up for your son. I was never able to tell my Dad about what happened in the locker room.

Let your wife DESTROY coach fucknozzel and then laugh at him when stands there memberless.

I have a daughter going through the run and dodge age now.

That was the reason my daughter refused to play softball for her school. Shame really she was very good. Assholes all around.

Kids have phases and erratic behavior. Age is a good indication but it does vary. My kid went through a real nasty phase for the past few months - temper tantrums and rants. She's gradually coming around and acting more mature. At 7 she was very easy going so it was unexpected. and unpleasant.

Think I use all my patience up being a parent and have none left for anything else.

Memories!!!!
I am sure each school was very glad when my children graduated or moved to another state. I was a huge pain in the ass.
My oldest had a hard on for all English teachers. It just never stopped from elementary school thru his Sr year.
My daughters teachers and I had in depth talks on how to talk to her and they actually listened and she did well in the behavior department. But she was a total bitch at home.
My youngest was so bright and nerdy he got picked on everywhere he went. His best friend and I consider him my adopted son met him in 5th grade when the kids were kicking in his bathroom door. Logan looked out for Andrew and loved a good fight, (still does at 26) and Andrew taught him to read and taught Logan how to study and all things academic.
Keep at it.

I didn't realize your wife was the fiery one. Love that last line!

Your kids are blessed to have you two as parents.

Yeah!! Turn Mrs. Hammer loose on that coach! and please have her bring a hidden camera! ;-)

It is such a fine line between sticking up for your kids and letting them learn how to stick up for themselves.

I am glad that you have figured out how to make that work. Your kids are lucky.

I am so fed up with out state's public school systems.

Shark's girls are in a district that put athletics first.

His youngest daughter has a learning disability and 5 out of 7 of her teachers are coaches!

As if those coaches care anything about IEPs, modifications, etc.

That poor girl is doomed. I thought it would be a challenge to get her thru high school with a diploma? Now I wonder if we will get her thru 7th grade....

Let your wife just do a number on them now. That way, the next time you bring up a "concern", they will know not to fuck around and just fix it.

Dude, you and I need to go have a "chat" with that fuckin' coach. Seriously, I'd SOOO love to. Get back for all the stupid shit I took at that age. Nothing changes. Had a kid fucking with another in class once, at the high school I teach at in the AM. They were playing keep away with his backpack. I walked up behind the biggest kid, still smaller than me, grabbed that pack and told him "Don't be an asshole!", and threw the kid his pack. That big kid turned out to be ok in the end. Would love to just wander the halls there, thumpin' bullies, but i don't have the time. There aren't too many there anyway. It's be fuuuuun.

Good for you! Don't take that shit from no one. I am the kind of parent you are with my 2 kids...albeit they are Blonde-Headed She-Devils, but their Mean Red-Headed Mommy sticks up for them.

Dude - THREE kids!?!?!?! I have so much respect for couples who chose to handle 3+...I could never do it myself, I know that.

I also think your youngest and my youngest share a lineage somewhere...everything you described made me think, "Hmm - I wouldn't put THAT past Kaylin!" She's a mean little girl. Man. ( I say she gets it from the Hill Billy's side of the family)

And everyone wonders why I drink! HA!
