meh.
It's how I feel today. For the first time in, um, EVER, I feel like flipping the big bird to today and the upcoming long weekend.
A long weekend people. I want to flip the bird to a long weekend.
*feels forehead*
Follow up frenzy to the incident with Bubba.
He's grounded this weekend. He's grounded Juvi style.
He swears that he didn't say what 3 other boys say he said.
3-1 says Bubba is lying. So, he is grounded.
Even if he isn't lying about the LATEST incident, he admits to lying about the first one and he admits that he lies to his friend about having sex with girls.
Oh yes, you read me right blogland.
HE AND ANOTHER BOY TALK ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH THEIR "GIRLFRIENDS".
SIX YEARS OLD.
*deep breath*
"Bubba, what do you mean you lie and say you have sex with your girlfriend?" I question.
"Mom, I don't have a girlfriend." He says.
"Yes, I assume, but what is sex?" I press.
"You know Mooom. It's kissing your boyfriend or girlfriend's private parts." He answers.
"Hmmm and you say you do this with your imaginary girlfriend?"
"Yes, but I don't have a girlfriend." He says again.
"OK, but you are LYING to your friend." I stress. "What about the picture you drew Bubba, why did you draw that picture?"
"So-and-so told me to."
"I thought you said you saw a movie at Daddy's??? Isn't that what you told the school??"
"Yes, but I only said that because I didn't want to talk about it anymore."
"So you lied to the school?"
"Yes."
Last night I made Bubba sit in the bleacher for his t-ball game. We sat there for the whole game and watched his team play.
He didn't care much.
*little f*cker*
All toys have been removed from his room. He will be spending the weekend in his room while Buggy and I have a camp out in the backyard, set up the pool and hopefully have some sort of fun in the midst of the drama.
It's gonna hurt and it's going to be hard, but he needs to get the message that lying and saying or doing inappropriate things will not be tolerated.
Wish me luck.
Oh, good luck girl. That is going to be tough. But I agree, necessary. Either way, lying or saying the thing he is saying he lied about (if you can follow that) deserves punishment. Go get 'em Momma!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about starting a Ru Roh 'Riday type thing where we can all get together and bitch and rant and be all pissed off and let off some steam before the weekend, but I don't know. I need to think about it some more.
Hi! Thanks for the comment on my blog. You're right, our name isn't spelled this way often.
ReplyDeleteI'm still speechless over the conversation you had with your 6-year old. Yikes.
I hope that you end up having a nice 3-day weekend.
P.S. I love the idea of F-U Friday, hahaha.
UGH. I hate that you have to deal with this stuff. I think you're handling it as well as anyone could, so hang in there! I hope your weekend is better than you expect it to be.
ReplyDelete((HUGE HUGS))
PS) Wasn't it Matter of Fact Mommy who used to do FU Fridays?
Lying has been a bit of an issue here too. Maybe it's the age? If you find out what makes him stop, please share!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are going through this. Stay strong and true to yourself..Everything is going to be all right:)
Hi there! Was wondering if you've heard from kristen from All in A Moms Life? Its been months. What happened to her?
ReplyDeleteWow, good luck ! I think you are doing the right thing. Let's hope he learns his lesson.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure he's not Porkstar's lovechild or something ?
Oy.
ReplyDeleteTalking about sex...at six years old...is that what you said? I'm breathing in a bag right now.
Good luck and I'll talk to some people about the F-U Friday thing. I think It could catch on (-:
FU Friday is right. UGH. Wising you lots of luck both on having fun with your daughter and getting to the bottom of whatever is going on with your son.
ReplyDeleteFlipping the bird right along with you sister!
I can only imagine how hard this has got to be on you, I hate leaving one out of anything for any length of time, but I know you can do it, and he will be better for it. Stay strong mama!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!! GRACIOUS!!! so it's all lies.
ReplyDeleteWell if that's the case, is this other "Friend" filling his head with ideas? And is there a problem that should be investigated with the friend?
6 and lying? hand and hand!! all 3 of mine do it! at 5 they think if they say it it's true, like Dad said we are going to the DQ... and so they think cause they said it it will happen? really?
As for the other lies? They love drama. they love the Flare in our eyes when they swear? or when they hear a good story?
and for FU friday? I think it's Brandy @YDK? http://www.brandyatyoudontknow.com/ maybe?
I think the counseling is a very good idea - I don't want to get anymore personal than that.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you. I get heart palpitations whenever my 10 yr. old dips his toe into inappropriate waters. The 7 yr. old is still *fairly* innocent. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBoobs, Babies, and Blogs does a Fawk You Friday meme.
Good luck Stac!
ReplyDeleteLying is a bad thing. Good luck. I am glad to not have to deal with children. It was a good decision for us-- no patience and too many expectations back then.
ReplyDeleteHow did it go?
ReplyDeleteOh I wish you luck and strength..it's gonna be a long and bumpy ride. For all of us! I have two girls and I am just a wee bit scared:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there baby!
Dang, 6 years old, and he's talking about sex. That makes me scared for what my 10 year old nephew talks about with his friends. I would like to think they only talk about video games, but who knows these days.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until Bubba hits puberty...
I'm tagging you for a meme on my blog about things that make us grumpy. Stop by whenever you can. No rush, and Happy Memorial Day.
