It's Saturday morning, and nothing better than a weekend with the kids. One is on the computer catching up with friends and relatives on Facebook. MAM has banned all Facebook usage in her home - she says it's an invasion of people's privacy!
While we're on the subject of lunacy, the kids are also banned from having their cell phones turned on at her house. What that essentially means is that I can't communicate with them freely. If I try to call the house, either I get voicemail, in which case the kids never get the message that I called, or one of the boys manages to answer the phone, but when MAM finds out who he's talking to, she screams at him to get off the phone.
BTW, speaking of parental abuse, I just saw that there's a conference on parental alienation in March in Toronto. It seems Canadian judges are starting to act boldly and take kids away from alientators.
So, getting back to the weekend, lots of cool stuff planned: mainly studying for tests for this week. Kids are unable to get help at MAM's house because she can't understand 6th grade math or science. Besides studying, lots of sports planned, stuff that's usually banned on MAM's weekends, when the kids spend the entire time playing video games. Hopefully also time with my sister and her family. In my previous married life, that stuff was also discouraged, and the boys never really got to know their 1st cousins who live only about 75 min away from us.
On my weekends, MAM never calls the kids or comes to their sports activities. What kind of mother would do that to their kids? Is there any help for them?
