I had to marry a man with kids....

01/10/12 02:27 PM

Just kidding. I think. No really just kidding.... sigh.

Mr. 17 has been banned from driving and is grounded. Dad went into the storage compartments of the pickup last night looking for a bungie cord. One of the compartments was locked, so dad opens it with his key. He finds 3 unopened cans of beer and a pile of empties. Dad goes into sons room, livid, and asks him about it. Kids response was "it's just something I like to do". Seriously - he said that. Then SS17 follows up with "you drank in high school. Whats the big deal?".

Okayyyy, after setting SS17 straight about what dad did and didn't do in hs, he pointed out that SS KNEW that drinking underage, let alone that drinking while driving is unacceptable, dad stripped him of his driving privileges and grounded him indefinitely.

Dad is mad, disappointed and scared for SS, who turns 18 in May. SS is mad because he got busted and dad is giving him consequences.

This morning SS17 was supposed to catch a ride to school with his best friend that lives next door. Once again, he got up LATE so friend left without him. (So sorry there bud, but now you know how it feels when you've ditched your younger brother when he's running down the porch steps to catch you.) So dad is driving SS15 to school this morning and SS17 has to ride with them (he got the seat of shame - the backseat, lol. You snooze you lose).

Dad asks him where he got the beer, SS17 says someone bought it and he bought it off of them. Dad pointed out that it's illegal for him to be in possession of alcohol. SS says guys drink - its no big deal.

Dad explains how much trouble he could get in if stopped. SS17 says he's been stopped alot of times (!!!) and nothing ever happens and besides the cops need a warrant to search your car. Dad points out how many times SS has seen people sitting on the side of the road while cops are searching a car.

Dad then changes the subject before he blows a vein, and SS continues to sulk and be pissed off because Mr. Big Man On Campus With The Dad Who Doesn't Know Sh*t is treating him like a little kid and driving him to school.

This child..... are ALL 17yo males this convinced of their invincibility and superiority? I swear to God that if they are I'm moving out when the 15yo gets to this age.

One thing I know for sure? SS17 is absolutely NOT driving that specific truck again until its out of my name. It probably wouldn't matter one iota as far as liability at this point since dad and I are married, but its the principle. I'm realistic enough to understand that at 17 kids are going to push the envelope and at least experiment with drinking. But his arrogance? over-confidence? that he could drink in that truck scares me and ticks.me.off. I don't trust him any farther than I can throw him at this point.
