OOooooohhhh! The last straw was the upside down cross on a chain around his neck. He has black fingernails, wears spikes around his neck, smokes (he is 16 and legal age is 18), is failing 3 classes (all of them required), and is totally disrespectful to me and is hateful to his 3 siblings. This is just the latest round. I told him to hand over the upside down cross he was wearing around his neck. I think I have put up with enough. I won't put up with that, too. I have given him too many concesions. I wish I could spell, but I have had too much pinot grigio! Blah! Anyway, that was it. No more. He had the gall to tell me I wasn't letting him be himself. What? I told him to look at himself and then tell me the same thing truthfully. He is doing everything I swore my kids wouldn't do while living under my roof. He just pushed me too far tonight. Well, that was probably TMI and not a big deal to most. I just will not put up with one more thing that degrades my household.
