Letting go ... DS & me

[snafu]

Since DS graduated ( a month ago) I've left his relationship with his dad (aka moocher ex) totally up to him


DS has been choosing to stay home and do things with friends when he has time off from work.

Tomorrow will be the first time DS sees his dad since graduation- they're doing something locally.

Do you think he'll ask his dad about the graduation check from his grandmother?

[snafu]

No ....I thought I'd already mentioned that according to DS they'd opened an account

[KayKay]

Oops - I missed that! Sorry!

[snafu]

Things are evolving with me and DS - so I think I'm doing a decent job.


There are times that I've wanted to do/say something but held back/reworded things as I'd think about how it would have come across to me when I was that age.

You are doing a great job! Learning to hold your tongue because they are getting older is the hardest thing! I clench my teeth a lot.

[snafu]

I sometimes text the kids something like

I'm going to be the PITA mom....be sure to clean the snow off your headlights before heading out.....but notice I didn't say stay home/off the roads


I think humor is the way to go
