It is long overdue.  I can't believe it took me this long to get fed-up with blog that has been giving all of us so many problems.

Da blog has moved.  www.supermom.wordpress.com

See you there!

Don't piss me off and then as an excuse say "but I enjoyed it".  I might have to get a fork and stab you to death.

It seems as though they other "mature" partner in this house is moving back towards his immature activities.  I honestly will not stand for this.  I'm ticked off beyond words.

For the past few Fridays, he has gone out (with a good excuse every time).  Not again.  No bloody hell.  If he wants to go out, he'll be taking me with or staying at home.  Can I just scream here quickly? AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  Okay.

So he comes home from work last night and says that he wants to take Quintus to go watch some cars racing.  He wants to spend some time with Quintus after us being hard on him for his bad behaviour.  I'm like all impressed and says it's a great idea. They leave at 5 pm and he says they'll be back at the latest at 8 pm.  I'm not too happy with it, as it's darn cold but I can see that spending time with his dad will be good for Quintus.

I phoned them at 7.30 pm and he says that they are waiting for one more car to race and then they'll be back.  Probably around 8 pm.  So I'm sitting on the carpet, sorting out the problems.  The more my back goes into spasm, the more I get stressed up.  (probably the reason for the spasm)  I'm watching the clock more than I'm building puzzles (to see how many lost pieces we have and what puzzle piece must go into which box). 

I phone just after 10 pm.  I'm pissed off and he can hear it.  I told him to put off the alarm (with his remote) before coming in, as I don't want the alarm to wake Jason.  He left then as he could probably hear that I was completely not impressed when he told me that Quintus was sleeping in the car (when I told him it is WAY too late for Quintus to be out)

He gets back and wham.  The alarm goes off.  My blood boils.  I put the alarm off.  He carries Quintus in and puts him into bed.  I can smell that he has had a drink.  NO DRINKING WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AFTER MY (our) CHILD!  It was most probably just a beer.  I don't feel comfortable with that though.

I asked him why he is home so late and he says "but we enjoyed it".  He can be glad that I was tired and too lazy to get a fork from the kitchen.  Asshoooooollle.  (think The Fuckers)

Yes, I suppose it's bad to blog about how upset you are with your husband. You know though?  You piss me off and I blog about it.  Cope with it.

Oh my first born.  What a great little guy.  He bought a chocolate and apologized to his teacher today. He behaved well.  Explained to his friend that he is not allowed to go play at his house until they both behave better at school.  He did me proud.  My little six year old handled all of this with a mature attitude.

I appreciate your comments. I'm sure that one of the little guys is just a boy doing naughty things every now and again.  One is just naughty.  Most of the time.  He is not a close friend of Quintus but he is in the group.  I have asked Quintus not to play with him again.  We'll see how that goes.

Quintus went to an occupational therapist last week.  They needed him to do a school readiness test.  His teacher was a bit worried that he loses concentration while working.  Well, am I ever impressed with the little guy.  He scored way above his age on most things.  WTG my boy   You totally rock.

There were some areas that she wanted us to work on though.  He didn't score badly in them but just less.  However, he has low muscle tone.  Now who would have known.  This active guy?  Who climbs trees, swings on the jungle gym.  Well, from what she said it does make sense.  His back and shoulder muscles aren't strong enough (and yes he crawled enough as a baby).  This is causing him to battle to write for long periods.  He also changes his grip on the pencil often as his wrist gets tired.  So we'll be doing some fun activities to work on that.

His dad took him out tonight.  To spend some quality time together, while Jay and I are building puzzles.

I watched Super Nanny tonight and man do I have well behaved little boys compared to those I saw tonight!  And I thought I had to worry lol   I should watch that program more!

Parenting is a real tough job.  We all know it but sometimes you just think it is okay.  That you aren't stuffing it up too much.

Then you go to pick your Grade R boy up from school.  He runs out to greet you and his teacher asks him to go back inside and steps aside so that she can have a word with you.  Not one of those: "your boy is so sweet" talks either.

Apparently  he and three of his friends have been fighting.  A lot.  So much so that she took the boys to Mr. Piet White.  Ah, you know that teacher.  That male teacher that all the boys are scared off.  Yes, him.  He made them go into his little room where they have a skeleton (not a real one obviously).  This however didn't scare them enough to behave.  There was more fighting and an incident where there were some peeking underneath the toilet door (in the boys' bathroom)

She told me that she spoke real sternly to them and wanted to talk to me about it, before Quintus got upset at home.  He can be real sensitive when he was punished.

Well apparently not sensitive enough.  I was busy speaking to him in the car about it when he ignored me and spoke to Jason.  I decided to leave it there and wait till we got home from work.

I told him that he is no longer to play with those friends.  That if he and his friends wants to behave like that, I will not tolerate it.  That never again do I want to hear about that kind of behaviour.  I took away the Playstation.  For as long as it takes for him to start behaving as I expect him to.  I got him to buy a chocolate for his teacher for when he apologizes tomorrow.

When I told him that I don't want him to be friends with those two boys anymore, he started crying.  Real sad tears.  He told me that they are his only friends and if he can no longer play with them, he only has Michael (that friend of his from preschool, who is now in a different primary school).  I told him to make other friends and he told me that he doesn't know how.  That is true.

How do I get him to behave.  Are these little boys really so bad, or just being "boy" naughty.  Oh this parenting stuff is hard.  For now though, I told him not to play with those boys until they behave.  I'll keep in contact with his teacher to confirm that he is behaving.  I will ask her about the behaviour of those boys.  I'm sure she spoke to their parents too and hopefully they will change their behaviour as well.

I can't believe that he is behaving this way. It saddens me.  It's probably not that bad and something many boys do.  I just don't want HIM to.

Welcome back blogdrive!  I totally get withdrawal symptoms when the blog is not working.  Not good for my soul.

We had cricket practise again tonight.  My dad did a lot of research and made a nice list of things we have to teach the kiddies.  Two of the moms I asked to help us out last week pitched up and it went much better.  Hopefully the kids enjoyed it.  I tend to get a bit strict when the kids go off doing something else, instead of listening to what I'm trying to teach them.  However, we did make lots of jokes.  I cheered them on when they got someone out or hit a good shot.  We actually laughed a lot.

It's my MIL's 61st birthday today, so we ended up going there after karate practise tonight.  The kids loved it, as their Ouma Net had all the food they love: olives, feta cheese, biltong sandwiches, boiled eggs.  They were in foodie heaven.  Of course she also had her famous cakes.  Yip, they left with happy tummies.

It is supposed to be Spring two days.  Currently it is 46.4 degree Fahrenheit.  Okay it is 9pm but sure not spring weather.  Hopefully it will improve a lot before the 1st!
