redandblue - I am sorry. Is he still in High School or College? I know he just took his GF to prom, but talking about another semester without credits makes me think college. He is in high school. Not sure the school system where you are, but we are semestered. He still needs 8 credits to graduate. He should be graduating this month. He will most likely have to finish up his GED at an adult school program now. I think there were semesters in high school, or the equivalent. So he doesn't have to fail and repeat the grade, just take courses to get his diploma?

I did just buy 2 new car seats though, so I feel a little better about it all. It was really bothering me.

Did you ask them if they had any pee sticks? 😜 No!!! Ok I have probably thought too hard about this, but I just don't see how you could have a BFN and still be pregnant based on when you last had sex. I really don't think you are pregnant. I'm very invested though, haha.

It's more about getting the required courses. He only has one required course (grade 12 English) and the rest are all electives. It's so frustrating.

redandblue, I'm sorry about all you are going through with your DS. My mom always tells me parenting a teenager is way harder than parenting a toddler. Hugs.

You aren't doing it wrong. There's not right or wrong way to parent, you just get up everyday and do the best you can. Some days are better than others. My husband is an intelligent person who almost didn't graduate. He was just being a dumb teenager. It wasn't his mom's fault. But dumb teenagers can turn out around and be good adults. Big hugs. And wine, always wine.

I'm so glad H doesn't like OITNB. It takes us FOREVER to watch a show when he wants to watch it too because he doesn't like binge watching.Plus I have so much downtime to watch shows (1 hour commute to and from work, lunch at work, downtime at work). Drives me crazy

I'm very invested though, haha. I know someone that knows someone who never turned a test but was pregnant. Just saying. jess213 I agree I don't think your knocked up. Maybe your hormones are screwing with you because breastfeeding

Go out without him? Just cause he's being a jerk doesn't mean you don't get to celebrate your birthday. 😉 I know right? I want to go to a brewery, and I need a driver if I'm going to indulge. I might use him as simply a chauffeur. Uber, taxi, lyft, etc.

redandblue hugs to you. I forget are you in NFLD or ONT? Ontario. Newfoundland is on a wish list for family vacation, and was going to be considered for a wedding destination spot. YGPM

E was standing on the bench by the kitchen table and fell off it. He got a bloody nose.i feel bad but maybe now he'll sit on the damn bench instead of stand on it. If I had a penny for each time I've told him to sit I'd be a zillionare. The like is just because I deal with that all the time when w gets hurt. FYI he doesn't learn either and sometimes will go back to the same behavior while crying.

redandblue I'm sorry the talk wasn't great and that ds1 is struggling to succeed right now. Parenting is tough but you are doing a great job of trying to stick it out with him. I definitely think a therapist is a great idea. I know you're overwhelmed with all the things on your plate right now but try to take some time to take care of you too.

So so so glad H is off today and can take DD1 to her dance camp. This week has been rough on DD3 having to go there and back twice a day. By the time we get home she's drenched in sweat, beet red, and hoarse from screaming for 40 minutes straight 🙁 I want one of those babies that likes the car. Where do I find one of them? I know you've probably already tried this but w hated the car seat and what really turned it all around was putting a mirror so he could see me and shades on the windows so the sun wasn't in his eyes. I can send links to all I bought but I got it all on Amazon. Now he doesn't love the car seat but he chills for most of our rides.

Morning nap in the crib was a failure. I was really hoping to shower and get ready, but a ktan nap it is. She's so funny when she wakes up in the ktan though. She throws her head back and stares me down for a solid 10 min 😂. PDQ Poof Oh man I missed the squish. Stupid fffc.

redandblue I don't know what the talk was about but I think the fact that he can be open And honest with you Eg talk to you about something really hard speak volumes to you being a good parent. How many teenagers would say "mom. I need to talk to you"

BTW this is my reaction to reading her lies. I'm so upset about her being so awful about all of this.
