The other day #2 son came downstairs at the crack of noon and asked me what was for dinner. He's not one to wait until the last minute to find out vital information like that, ya know?!
When I told him I was yet again, making dinner from scratch, he got a look on his face and asked me if we could ride up to Burger King so he could get some burgers for dinner instead.
When I nixed this idea, a dark cloud descended over him and his long face got even longer.
Sensing this was more than the usual teen-hormone surge I am use to at home, I pressed him as to his response to me.
I thought my no to the burger plan was just the last straw on a day that was difficult for him emotionally or something.
Nope....it wasn't that.
He finally opened up and the truth came tumbling out.
He has had enough!
Enough of all the nourishing home cooking.
For the last 18+ months I've been cooking from scratch(or something approaching it)and he is FED UP with eating healthily so much!
The poor thing.....I've cut down on his junk food to a point that he is longing for that fat, sodium, sugar, chemical laden stuff from the House of Ronald and the King, and the Bell of Taco & the Hut of Pizzas.
He misses the tasty poison and I am a bad, bad mom for denying him his minimum daily requirement of crap.
The horror.....the anguish......the Woe is Me!
Yah, I can live with it.....and so can he. ;-)
Sluggy
That sounds like my kids. I mentioned we may get McD's today cause it is so hot and you would have thought it was Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHis next move may be to call CPS. I bet he gets no sympathy from them either!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
You are much stronger than me--I give in after a week or so of whining and being pissy--my daughter that is--not me!!! I can only stand so much of her attitude--huh--then I give in therefore reinforcing her attitude getting her what she wants! I think I just had an epiphany!!! Thank you so much for this post today--I think I needed it.
ReplyDeleteAbuse comes in many different guises, I guess. Apparently I abuse my family, too.
ReplyDeleteHomemade meatloaf, corn on the cob and non-instant mashed potatoes tonight... Mwahahahahah!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something that Den would say and then once he ate the crap , he would complain that he felt terrible!
I think it is a guy thing.
Have a great weekend and please stop abusing the boy!
mean momma! LOL But sometimes ya just gotta have a burger! :) I worked at BK when I was 17, that was 25 years ago, and I still crave them
ReplyDeleteYou are so mean! NOT! We used to abuse our kids the same way.
ReplyDeleteFortunately for them, their mom would take them to buy their poison when they went to her house. She clearly loved them more than we did. LOL!
