First, I’ll get this out of the way, so I can get back to more worthwhile topics.

Teen Gkids with xyz disorders.  RRR…not reasonable, rational, regulated, respectful…or even civil.  Their main vocabulary is fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, I’ll kill myself, over a bag of chips they didn’t get.

Or, Come get me now!  [Here.]  Oh not yet, I’m still with my friends.  [OK meet me at ___.]  A while later, Oh I’m home.

Or you accidentally glanced at them working out in the garage while getting something for someone, not knowing that wasn’t allowed, and caught hell, then got blamed for them feeling blamed??  Twisted.

Oh, and most of this is by texting, because in real life they won’t talk to you, even just to say hi back when I’m picking them up from school.  Like, I’m just the ride, so they don’t have to walk home.

That’s just a quick summary, lots more I won’t go into.  After a while, I just don’t want to be there in the firing squad.  I know, they have extenuating disorders and problems, but somehow I (or Avdi) get attacked for not knowing all the *rules*.  Like we’re at their beck and call for every impulsive “need” they have, that’s all grownups are for, right?  And all the indulging is never enough.

I know I’m from a different time and culture, but my parents probably would have thrown me into a mentally insane prison for much less, let alone cussing at them.  Respect and civility were expected.  I put up with it a lot with these kids, because different times and disorders, like I said, but it’s a lot to just absorb.

Anyway, that’s why I’m feeling very frustrated right now.  The kids, of course, will forget all about it until the next blunder we make.  I should mention that one of the kids is never like this to me (hint: K). We actually get along well.

And now back to saner topics.  I’ve gotten a lot done in the garden since the rain let up.  Weeding, planting, etc, to sum up.  Now I don’t feel like talking about it.
