THE 'WHO'S TO BLAME?' THREAD

[Donovan]

The mother lost that fight a long time ago, the kid grew up to the old age of 13 and was a douch. Mom and dad should have busted her ass a long time ago and made a decent human out of her.

So you and Donovan know these people?

She was a 13 year old girl that did something really stupid. They do that sometimes. I know that's hard for you and Donovan to understand being the perfect parent's that you are. Jesus Christ .

MY kid is still breathing and knows enough to stay out of the fucking road. He also knows that a tantrum gets him exactly nothing. He learned that at three. I don't claim perfection, never did, in fact I've told him the best I can hope for is not to fuck him up the same ways my parents did and hope for the best. But my job is to make a man out of him, not be his buddy or his fucking wellvisit counselor. I'm his father. And I don't stop to consider whether child protective services, or onlooking minors, or who the fuck ever is disapproving when I need to act in that capacity.

PS my kid also knows how and when to use the possessive apostrophe when describing a plural object. But that's more a jedi mind-trick. I wouldn't expect drunken bad Florida moms to aim that high.
