I went out to lunch with a coworker......there were issues between "X" and their kid this morning. Apparently, he's always been a bit of a problem child.
On top of that "X" seems to be more than a bit self absorbed. Always worried about how many cars they have, that the house and yard look just as they want it, how many clothes they have, getting the best deal with their money, yadda yadda yadda.
Today at lunch "X" told me that they had a yelling match with their kid over getting him to school (kid is 14) and "X" told the kid (among other things) that he was ruining "X's" life, he was a piece of shit, and wished "X" had never had him in the first place.
How do you say that to your child?
