I meant...she either wants help to kick the habit, give up drinking and pinching, or worse, or she doesnt..
I grew up without my kids as their mother's ran off with other guys, and kept me out of the picture...all I know is at teen age they begin to start thinking about Dad, ( or Mum ) and even if you have given them the best of best, you get shuffled somewhat to the side..YOUR NOT MY DAD can come into it..
I find in my case the missus will talk about our boy , but is short on action..saving face I think drives this..one cannot shout and tell the boy to f...ing pull your finger out and go help your papa...They also, I have found, when talking about matters to the boy, with mum intrepreting that their is no logic, or even a future plan..
The boy came to mama to ask for money to fly himself, and Uncle, to Bangers and back, to sit a test at the Police School for future Officers..Mama said she not paying for Uncle,,so they went by car..No one told me, or asked me , who was going to pay for the five years living and studying in Bangers, if he succeeded..Moi of course,,but moi doesnt have a spare 500000bt lying around, and if he had come to me first I would have told him, and if he had said there were 3000 people testing for just 100 places, I would have said give up, as he is not the brightest star in the sky..he missed by a mile..Missed the football college too, missed being chosen as school head...all off his own bat, but methinks grandparents of his deceased father are driving things, and poisioning him against us...anyhoo, kids are easy, teenager a right handful, and saving face adults are like trying to read a horse..
