Lentil puffs (locally known as Dal Puri) and Potato curry (Aloo Subzi) - wonderful Indian breakfast items. Washed down with a cup of Darjeeling tea - no milk or sugar.
Last night my wife and I were sitting in the living room, talking about life... In-between, we talked about the idea of living or dying.
I said to her:
'Dear, never let me live in a vegetative state, totally dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die'.
Then my wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration towards me...and proceeded to disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the fridge and threw away all my beer!!
You are on track buddy. Your son is part and parcel of who you are, so its always best to be upfront about it. Most dates are going to fall by the wayside so maybe you should not discuss your boy much till you know you got something concrete in the works. That way you won't have someone owl eyeing you later with a WTF am out of here.
I live in a condo so a group of us organised a 31st gig for the kids (coz they are too young to attend the regular dances) to bring in the new year. Everything was going fine till I saw a little blighter (maybe 12 yrs) swaying his way out of the hall - I followed and guess what I found? A mini-bar had been set up behind some parked cars and the little f....kers were pissing it up. Needless to say that was the end of their show coz they all got the verbal shower of their lives.
I hear you. Thanks girl. Maybe coz of you they'll get lucky and I'll let the strings slip a bit.
But you gotta understand that its very different out here in the sense that most kids do not move out till they are ready to marry. So if that be the scenario, we are talking a good 10 years here. If I give them their freedom now, what the hell would I bribe them with (when I want something done) in the coming years??
Its their way of saying I'd check out the family history/tree -.mother/father....grandmother/grandfather....great-grandmother/great-grandfather....great-great grandmother/great-great-grandfather...
My girls (13 & 14) tell me I'm way too possessive (I prefer to think "protective") because they are not allowed to go out with their friends without adult supervision (I make it a point to talk to the adult that's accompanying them). They say that if it were left up to me, I'd even check out the pedigree of their friends...not quite true but almost there. Do you have that problem too????
That is sad! Can't you and your other siblings (if you have any) get together and do something about it?
My parents were having a similar situation with a brother of mine. When he got married and brought the wife home, I thought it was a bit much. We siblings got together and spoke to him - he promised he'd get his own place but well into 2 years nothing happened. So I purchased a place and moved my parents into it - he was stuck with the rental of my parents place while they get to live rent-free. Some situations call for drastic measures.
