School holidays bend my freaking head.
The loungeroom is set up like some gamers paradise. Chairs with cushions and empty glasses everywhere. Subtle gun fire can be heard until 1am as my son and his friend play endless hours of Call of Duty online with the world and static voices coming through with American twang and Australian slang. Fuckhead, dickhead, wanker can be heard as they all scream at each other for doing the wrong thing by their team. Thankfully my son does not have a headset 'cause I told him that if I ever heard him swear like that he would be banned from leaving the house until the age of 21.
And to give you some indication as to how much I have lost my mind, I stayed up with my boy the other night giving him tactical advice and what guns he should be using for each situation. Yep, I sat down with my boy and yelled at him like a drill sergeant. "That gun is too heavy, get something lighter. Closer range with high impact, get an Uzi and have a hand gun ready for one on one close range. Now stop! Look around you. Keep cover! Keep cover your back is exposed. Stay low to the ground. Assess your environment, listen for enemy fire. Yep, now GO, GO, GO!!!! My God, what have I been reduced to. I have no idea if I was telling him the right thing, but it felt right at the time and strangely, he seemed to appreciate it. He kind of looked at me like I was some affectionate psycho.
And then I have to put up with his mates swearing even though the rule is "no fucking swearing!" :green:. Yes I am a glorious hypocrite. So I yell down the stairs "Watch your language, son".
My symmetry is all put out, having anxiety trying to at least keep the stimming down to a minimum so my sons friends don't realise just how bent I am and trying to accommodate food requirements. Walking in circles and having a good hand flap seems to be the only thing getting me through.
Sweet Jesus, I am stressed the fuck out.

LMAO!
Sorry the part about yelling orders at your son on the game really made me lol :plus: for the attempt.
and also :hug: to help you feel better.

It get like that around here too. Sometimes it drives me nits sometimes not so much. It's more the disruption of routine and the extra people around that bothers me more. Hope you feel better and if I need tactical advise I'll call :zoinks:
-
Thanks Squid for the hug. You are a darling.
And Parts, I totally hear you on the disruption routine thingy. Boy o Boy, it makes me lose my breath. As for tactical advice, anytime :green:

I love that you were staying up with him and giving him tactical advice for his pretend battle game.

Sounds like my house, minus some swearing, so far they've been pretty tame in that respect.
Makes me nuts. :zombiefuck: Mostly the disruption and the extra people thing here too. House is pretty small which doesn't help it any.

You make a better mom than I would.

My first word was fuck, so it pretty much tells you how lax my parents were when it came to swearing.
Oddly enough, I swear less than most people IRL.

My son was fasinated with the word around 8 or 9. His dad & my MIL used to go apeshit about it, I think he used to say it on purpose to provoke them. :laugh:
I finally gave up and told him he could say it all he wanted while at home, after about a month the novelty wore off.
I try to watch my mouth, but somedays. ::)

I have to try really hard to not swear around the kids. when I'm really mad I do and my mum tells me off lol
I do swear a lot

Thanks Callaway. I have always found it hard to "play". So I am glad that my boy and I found some common ground and that he enjoyed it. Warm fuzzies :green:

Sounds good Icequeen, but why do we SUFFER!!! :duh: It will be good when it is all over. I told my boy today that if he didn't have a break from it, I would confiscate the game. 1 week of sounding like a battle zone is enough for me.
Take care of that stress ;)

I should hope so, dear one! ;) But I am sure you would make a better father than I would. :green:

Got it out your system early, Mr Schledge.

Yup, although lessening it's impact will only generate other words to replace it.

i doubt i will ever have kids, im afraid to leave my card collections to my family members. esepcially my joe dimaggio, joe namath autographs and my ichiro rookies. my fire agate ring will be burried with me, and i'll probably send my cards to someone who will really apprechiate them. i'll put an ad in the newspaper
