Why is it that I am always surprised at the stupid stunts you pull? I went to pick up our daughter from school and she had no jacket. And why is that? I understand that it is Arizona, but it is still January, and it does get cold in January. Not to mention the morning you dropped her off was a cold morning. I was infuriated. She has been sick since November on and off and you are sending her to school without a jacket?
Instead of yelling at you and making you feel like the loser you are, I texted you. I was nice and wasn't pointing the finger. I said, "if you don't have a jacket, let me know. I will drop one off for her in the mornings". I had no clue if you would respond or ignore me as usual, but I never expected the answer I got. "Jo didn't want to wear a jacket and took it off". WTF? She is 2 and you are 26, not to mention you are her FATHER, which means you have final say. Not a 2 year old. Even if you did play into her little games, why didn't you take the jacket with you and give it to one of her teachers? I know. It is an amazing concept to have common sense. There are going to be a lot of things she isn't going to want to do, does that mean you are going to let her? She isn't going to want to go to bed on time all time, or eat her food, or leave places. What are you going to do? That is right, be the PARENT and direct her to the choice that you have chosen.
I decided not to argue but go along with it. "I understand that. Just make sure you at least bring it so she has it. They played outside today and she didn't get to play because she didn't have a jacket and she was upset". Okay, so I don't understand at all, you are a dumbass.
His answer- "Her teachers need to say something then". Hahahahahahahhah. Who is the parent? The teachers don't need to tell you anything. They don't need to tell the parent to bring a jacket for his child in the middle of January.
Me- "They didn't know. Look. I am being cool. She needs a jacket. It isn't their responsibility. You are the father. Don't push the issue any further. Is it really that hard to say okay and leave it at that"? Seriously, why , must you make EVERYTHING into an argument? Say okay and be done with it. No one cares about your excuses. Everyone else thinks you are an idiot.
his response- "Me too". Me too what? me too that you are being cool? Being cool means you say okay and don't text me your garbage anymore. Are you pissed that I called you out on, yet, another failed attempt at parenting?
ME- "well quit making excuses. She needs a jacket. Period". That is straight to the point. There really isn't anything you should say to that. Your excuses are lame and they are a waste of my time.
His response- "I wasn't. I was saying the teachers should ask. That is it". Yeah, okay, you are right. It is the teacher's responsibility. I am sorry I texted you and bothered you. Next time, I will go straight to the teacher and make sure she knows her job because they are clearly slacking. I had the teacher and father roles confused. My bad.
