I really suck at being a disciplinarian beware a ramble [View all]

I always have even with our daughters. And now with our two thirteen year old sons. As I sit here drinking coffee with my wife , her words to me your just a softy. Yesterday we received a letter from the school. Asking why we never signed and returned the two write ups over our sons and horseplaying on the bus. As my horseplay syndicate walked through the door yesterday I presented the letter from the school. Immediately their response was dad we forgot, I replied you forgot twice. Dad it was just a mistake a big misunderstanding. I replied really a misunderstanding twice. That’s it no computer or x box or guitar.

Their great kids on honor roll never really written up before. And I understand that their boys. Now did they actually forget I doubt it and I cannot handle deception or deceit. Well I can handle deception in infantry operations smoke and mirrors that was a joke or attempted humor. So I relaxed the punishment this morning and let the boys out on parole.

I’ll say this our daughters their grown now never got a write up in school. The only problem I personally ever had was once going to university to bring our youngest home for break And in her trash can I noticed a aftershave bottle. Now I knew that a guy she brought home for Christmas break used that aftershave. So in the car I causally interrogated her young lady your father is very observant.
