He's too young to move out 

He's too young to move out

I guess I was around 4 or 5 the first time I threatened to move out. I had dumped all my drawers into my big blue fuzzy blanket (which I STILL sleep with). I had planned to tie it up and put a stick through it just like all the cartoon hobos I had seen before. I heard my mom walk in the door and locked myself in the bathroom, afraid to come out. I never even made it out the front door.

Now fast forward 25 years to my son now doing the same to me. Here's the story............

I made spaghetti for dinner a few nights ago so after I finished cooking I went to turn off theTV in my room and tell him to come to dinner. He was so upset because he wanted pizza. He told me he didn't "want to live with this family anymore". He said he was going to live with Grandma and Kurt where he could eat pizza everyday. I told him fine, go. He started collecting toys and I said he couldn't take them or his clothes because that stuff belongs to this family and if he isn't a part of this family then he couldn't have them. At the time he had a shirt and underwear on so he tells me "I will wear this to Grandma's house and then wash it and then you can come and get it and then Grandma will buy me new clothes". He proceeded to call Grandma and she talked to him for a long time. I just heard him telling her over and over "mommy and daddy are mean to me because they won't let me have pizza for dinner tonight". I guess finally he got over it because once they got off the phone he gave in to my spaghetti and we spent some cuddle time together. By the way Grandma Glo, you can't always give in to these kids because you and I after all know what's best for them even though they think they know better. Ok, so you have some rights to give in because you are a Grandma, BUT it may bite you in the bum later when they are teenagers...hahaha
