What should have been a great weekend, turned into a huge stressball as usual. It was a pretty good weekend for Dave and myself, on a one to one level, we got to spend some BADLY needed time together. The whole generation gap communication thing showed up again in fine form by Wednesday though.
Melissa, I'm sorry about some things that were said. I really am. They were said the wrong way. It is never okay to do the wrong thing. The line between wrong and right is not always clear though and kids don't come with a manual. Trusting you is not easy right now. Like I said before, you want us to trust you, but you are really using me and my good nature alot right now. It is hard to trust someone completely when they are constantly pushing the edge of the rule button. We have to make rules, it is our job as parents. It is my fault for not sticking to those rules. I never stick to them and that is not a good thing. I dont make you follow them and then I expect them followed at the drop of a hat. You dont know what to expect from me and that is the main problem here. It is my fault. The fact that I realize this is both good and bad news for you. I have to be more strict on rules now. You will at least now know what to expect, which is good news. You will also be held more accountable for your actions and inactions as well as being made to follow the rules more, which on a teenage scale, is bad news for you.
Nicole, I am more then truly sorry for the way things went down on Wednesday night. You were never truly sat down and told what we wanted you to take care of for the weekend. As a result, there was a huge misunderstanding and you were jumped on when it shouldn't have happened. You made sure the kids were taken care of and that is all that I told you about. You have never been really big on the whole communication thing and neither have I. I promise you I will try to get better at this. I don't want things to be this way. Dave doesn't want it this way either.
I love you both very much. I am sorry that you two had to grow up during my psychopathic, less than stable stage. I'm not perfect guys. I'm a work in progress. Let's start communicating more through more than just our blogs okay?
