Married Leos

I got a chat from a buddy of mine today asking how old a child should be to be left alone at home.  So I tell him it depends on how long it is for, if its just a few minutes, maybe 10.  If its going to be a few hours then probably 12 years old.

He proceeds to tell me that he got a call from a co workers WIFE that the cops were at her house, because they left their 8 year old kid home all day alone.

Me: Why did they call you?

Buddy: I don’t know

Me: Why did you go over there, I would have said forget it?

Buddy:  The police were going to press charges and take the kid away so I caved.

Me: Where was the father?

Buddy: Back at work.

Me: Why didn’t she call him?

Buddy: Don’t know, maybe she did but since he just got this promotion yesterday he was afraid to ask to leave.

Me: That’s bullshit, family comes first always, especially if its their kid.

Buddy: Yeah it is and they got a pretty wierd situation going on there anyway.

So my buddy ended up going over there and talking to the cops and called someone else to come look after the kid about 30 minutes later.  The father never did leave work early to find out about his kid.

Where was the mother you ask?  Well she was out of the state.   And apparently they had been leaving him alone for awhile and just now got caught.  I wonder who is watching the kid today.

This is probably toooo much information for some of you. Here is part of a chat I had this evening while I was in my “office”. Seems like today Hotfessional and I have had the same type of posts.

This weekend we had the pool installers come out and give us an estimate on how much it was going to cost to install our pool. This wouldn’t have been necessary if last year a different installer told us that it was going to be 12-$1500 to just install it, that was not including the $3000+ for the actual pool. We promptly canceled our pool last year after hearing that cost. This year we have the extra money but are hoping it will be a bit less, so off to buy another pool we went.

A child could do this, my mother who is the most technologically challenged person on Earth could do this.

Before Christmas our son went outside to play with his friends. I had gone out to run a few errands, I came back home started doing things around the house, and then I noticed that someone had left a message on our answering machine. I looked at the caller ID and noticed the number was from one kid whose mother would not let the boy play with her sons because he had bought a game for his Xbox from her garage sale, well the game had some violence in it. I couldn’t believe she would keep them from playing with each other because of that, but hey whatever.

So I go ahead and call the number thinking that the boy wants to stay out longer, like he usually does. The mother answers the phone and I said “hey D, its R how are you?” She responds “well I was doing ok until a few hours ago”. Oh shit what has my boy done now is what I am thinking. She proceeds to tell me that all the boys were playing real good for most of the day and that she didn’t know how to tell me this but that something bad had happened. She had gone outside for a few minutes (I cannot remember for what but it doesn’t matter anyway) she continues saying that she heard someone screaming saying momma momma hurry! She runs in the house to see her eldest son (age 11) holding a knife and the only other person in the kitchen with her kid is my son. My heart dropped thinking my son was hurt, I froze I didn’t know what to say. She said she yelled at her son to drop the knife and wanting to know what the hell was going on. The other boys there told her that her eldest son had her little daughter under a cover and wouldn’t let her out, the little girl started crying and myboy told this kid “hey let your little sister go, the kid told my son to mind his business, my son then tried to tear the blanket away by wrestling with the kid and finally the little girl was able to get out from under the blanket, I guess the kid got pissed and went to get a knife, my son went behind him saying “C” dont’ be mad at me I just wanted you to let your little sister go, and that is when the kid came after my son.

The mother told me that her and her husband have grounded their son for a long time ( I don’t know for how long but even a year isn’t long enough for me) and I told her to send my son home right away, she mentioned that he had left a long time ago, and thought that he was home. Then I thought maybe my son was scarred to death and went somewhere to be alone. The mother kept appologizing saying how sorry she was that her and her husband were just as shocked and embarrassed that their son would do such a thing (I felt like telling her ‘yeah and you are the one you didn’t want MY son playing with your SONS because of the violent game he bought off of YOU, and look who is the violent one”). But I didn’t say anything, I was still to shocked to do anything.

A few minutes later the boy came home and he did look scarred, he said he was ok, but still to have a knife pulled on you, that is pretty scarry. From that day forward I told him that I no longer wanted him to play with those kids, he swore he wouldn’t, but last week as I drove past the kids house on my way to the office and I noticed my sons bike there, CAN YOU BELIVE THIS SHIT? I confronted him and you will not believe the answer he gave me, “mom none of my friends were home, and I wanted someone to play with”. I wanted to beat the crap out of him! Again today we were arguing and he mentioned that I wont even let him play with “C”, I responded back “gee R, I am so sorry that I love you to much that I forbid you to play with that kid! What the hell is wrong with this kid! I told him the first time was a knife who knows what will happen next time and I don’t plan to find out. I cannot believe that he is mad at me, I am trying to protect my young and I am the bad guy. He even said “people do change mom”.

I am so angry right I now I don’t know what to do. My kid is totally NUTS!!!
