I just turned 40 and I don't feel any different. I feel vibrant as ever. I went shopping on Thurs. Swimming and steaks on Sat. and going to see Batman today. Plus I got new tires for my car. Oh yea, a $50 Starbucks card from my "good" sister.
I hurt my oldest son. He was saying he was "too good" to work in fast food. He's freaking 20yrs old and hasn't held but 2 jobs and neither one for more than a few mo. No hes not BP at all. He seems to think he is above everyone else. His dad pays half his rent and his roommate pays the other half. We were arguing and I told him he was being just like my sis. A moocher! If he would stand up and face real life instead of dreaming and smoking dope (marijuana) that he might get on with his life and feel like a MAN. I went on (while crying) that he is not "TOO GOOD" for anything. Oh yea, he blames the way he is "lazy" on me and his dads divorce. Well I told him that his laziness was not a result of our divorce. Im tired of writing and it makes me upset to know I made him cry.




Malice, So sorry! Didn't know it was your Bday! It sounds you are feeling up & happy. That's so good to hear. Me too girlfriend... It's such a relief to feel good.
Sorry you & your son had a scrap together. He's still just learning the ropes as a young man. My daughter is 20 also. She has an apt., works and goes to college here in Houston but she can be VERY irresponsible. She can be a total mooch too! Her father & I (we have been divorced for 12 yrs) still constantly bail her out of all sorts of things. And yes, she smoke pot too. Doesn't even have the respect to hide it. She doesn't care if we know. Well, I guess I can count on her for honesty. She's been very lucky she hasn't gone to jail w/ her party life. Leslie went through the divorce blame game earlier in her late teens but it's a non issue now. She knows she's not a victim through a lot of communication w/ her Dad & I. It will be for your son one day too. Just stay focused on yourself & your health. It'll all come together. I'll be 43 this Friday. Where did my life go!
