my husband is a feckless pig.

my oldest son is a lazy, self-indulgent immature, entitled pig. We've spent 10s of thousands of dollars on his music education for the last TEN years and he's been home for one week... from one of the most prestigious music conservatories in the world, where for some reason, they've awarded him a hefty scholarship for playing the armfart.

he has spent 2 of the 160 hours practicing his armfart. He says he wants to teach Tai Chi when he graduates from the 50k a year prestigious music conservatory in May. He will supplement that income as a bus boy.

oh, BTW, he has only done Tai Chi for one month.

my younger son is just plain psychotic.  He sent me this today. (just one of many such emails in the last 24 hours)

"Mom,

Can you stop talking shit? I've done that already, the only problem is the failure is yourself in my shoes right now, you have no sense at all in doing that, I have been nothing but fucking respectful, you know it would've been entirely something else if you guys had said, "Aaron if you stop getting removed than you can come home every weekend" or "Aaron, as long as you keep up the good behavior at home than you can keep coming home" but you guys just threw it in my fucking face that coming every other weekend was the plan and that's where you guys went sorely wrong.  I have done everything you have listed and that's how i'm at the behavior status I am and I dunno whether Ms. Clark is giving you shitty reports or not, but I have, there is no other explanation apparently you having giving me no reason right to empathize with you RIGHT NOW and "show respect" because your giving me shit and you have no idea how RIDICULOUS  you sound saying this crap, i'm like some out of control kid, how about I just misbehave the fuck away? Maybe because behaving isn't get me what I want right now, why don't I just misbehave the fuck away? I've got nothing to lose, you need to go see a psycho clinic if you still think there is no good reason why my travel plans should stay the same, why don't you talk to Cale about this and see what he says, unless your trying to avoid being proven wrong in this matter, prove it to me by not doing so by actually bringing an outside viewer into this. I'm sick of this shit, that's all I know."

Just so you know... I did tell him that his being removed was the primary reason that he cannot come home every weekend.

Its just that if it had happened to my husband, I would've DEMANDED that Adam apologize to him!!!

I'm exhausted and psycho.

Addendum.

Shortly after I wrote this, Adam came down and gave me a very heartfelt, very sweet apology, of his own accord and he spoke to me appropriately and calmly.
