I was going to write about how my darling little Prince, a mama's boy through and through had turned into a little fucker when I realized oh, Staci's already got it covered.  Either we have the same child, or there is something that happens to boys when they turn six. Now I will say this, my son may be athletic like his dad, but he's got his mama's brains, and a lot of the stunts from the last few weeks, I can remember pulling myself.  The wicked smart mouth, the flinging of insults, the threats to leave the house and go stay ANYWHERE BUT THIS HELL HOLE.  Ok, he didn't say hell hole, I didn't start referencing Mom and Dad's place as a hell hole until I was maybe 14, but his message was basically the same.

 

All I know is that Mr.Attitude better really like looking at the walls of his room because lately he has been spending a lot of time there.  Oh yeah, and if you hear about a Mom who had 911 called because she sent her son to his room three times in one night,  well that may just be me.  He's big into, I'm calling the police or 911.  Of course I hand him the phone and say go ahead, you know when they come I'll explain your bad behavior and you'll be the one in trouble.  Thankfully he hasn't taken me up on my bluff yet, but give it time.

 

What really freaked me out though was that at some point last night when my husband was yelling up the stairs "And don't you dare take that tone with your mother again".  I was transported back in time and sickened by the fact that I have ended up EXACTLY where I thought I'd never be - just like my fucking mother, standing quietly in the room, upset by what my kid had said and letting hubby lay down some laws.  I almost yelled back at hubby "oh yeah, well I take that tone with mom because she deserves it".  Just from instinct, I mean, that was the response I always gave when dad was shouting that same shit at me.  I actually felt sorry for my little man, oh boy kid, I know exactly how you feel right now....wait, I shouldn't have sympathy, he's doing it to ME, and I don't deserve it!

 

I gotta figure out how to change this song because I didn't like the melody the first time it was played 30 some years ago, and I'm not going to sing it again.  *sigh*
