Whatever happened to plain old baseball, basketball, and soccer? Isn't it your parents responsibility to be enrolling him into these sports and not yours? I'm just asking because it sounds like your raising him and not your parents. Come on Winx.. don't you know.. 11 and 12 year olds are having sex on a regular basis now a days... I guess that I didn't get that memo. Like I said --- not the ones I know and I'm a mom. Hey, is this your check in?

I was listening to NPR news in the car. They were talking about internet addiction. They said that if a person spends more then 4 hours a day on the computer, they are addicted. Does anybody think that they might have this problem? Pretty generic, I spend way more than that on average. But it's part of my job... ah hell who am I kidding I'm addicted big time

Whatever happened to plain old baseball, basketball, and soccer? Nothing. He actually used to play basketball, baseball never interested him, and he thinks soccer is for "weirdos." Isn't it your parents responsibility to be enrolling him into these sports and not yours? I'm just asking because it sounds like your raising him and not your parents. His dad is 50-something, and Mom just turned 50. The only thing they do is get on his butt about his grades. Even then he's still failing 3 of his classes. They don't get too involved in his life. Not wanting him to make the same mistakes that I have in life, I try to lead by example and show him what can happen if you don't apply yourself. It's only now, at 26, am I able to get something going for myself. I screwed around in high school and blew off college for the military. Now I can't get in to college because I have too much personal debt to take care of first. Maybe in 14 years he'll be sleeping in his parents' basement and only see what I was telling him the entire time. OG
