I'm not sure of the last time I was this upset with my son. I do understand that he is 8 and that he is bound to do things that he's not supposed to do...
....BUT....
My mom picked him up from daycare for me yesterday and took him home to wait for me. My son who totally knows better took it upon himself to go into the kitchen, (where he is NEVER supposed to be) opened the freezer (which he is NEVER supposed to open without asking)opened a personal-size ice cream (which he knows that he is NEVER to eat without asking) and started to eat the ice cream! He would never have even dared to do that with me or PIKA home...or even PIKA's mom I'm sure. My mom doesn't show him a lot of authority and he feels like he can get away with things with her. He obviously has no respect for her when it comes to his rules and behavior.
PIKA and I are unsure of how to handle this one. We could ground him for the week but then PIKA's birthday cookout is this weekend so there will be kids and cake... We could ground him from the goodies at the cookout, which would actually probably make the most impact but I just don't know if I can bring myself to tell an 8 year old that he can't have birthday cake at a birthday party... But what then...?...what can we do that will put it DEEP into his head that this was NOT ok.

My growing boy
What an awesome summer he's having... Swimming, field trips, parks, movies - and that's just a few of the many things that he's getting to do this summer.
My little guy is really growing and changing. I can't believe he's heading into the 2nd grade in just a couple of months. It makes me very nervous and very excited all at the same time.
I have to say that I'm very happy and very proud of the little man he's growing up to be. He really has a big heart and a lot of love to give. I see good things in him and am excited for the life that is ahead of him.
He's totally into these "silly bands"... it drives me nuts but I'm his mom and I think that's the point. I've never seen him act like this about anything else but he's crazy about them. It's quite funny actually..listening to him talk about where you can get them and which stores are sold out. He gives them to friends and trades them with others. He just loves everything about them.

No Dad is better than a piece of shit Dad
So I'm not even sure at this point when kiddo last talked to his Dad... They saw each other a bit before Christmas and maybe talked once after kiddo birthday and nothing since then. I did get a really weird message (for kiddo) on my voice mail quite a while back that said something about not being able to call for a long time...but I couldn't understand anything else. That is the last I've heard from him and as far as I know his friends don't know where he is either.
I've noticed a huge change in the kiddo though..it really is better for him when his dad just stays away. It really saddens me to say that but when he's coming and going the kiddo gets so emotional and upset. It's not fair. Either be there or go away and stay away.
