Translation, Please

By Anonymous -
Do you speak Teenager(tm)? What about Silly Teenager(tm)? If so, please translate this because I don't get it.

The Girl: ok Hey can i ask u a question, if u promise not to freak out?
Christina: Probably not but go ahead.
The Girl: Promise
Christina: I can't until I know the question. Besides that's an unfair question. Am I not entitled to my emotions? Is it fair for you to attempt to preemptively dictate to me what I may or may not feel? How I may or may not react to something?
The Girl: Fine. What would u do if i applied to a mental hospital?
Christina: Applied as in for a job? Or applied as in to be a patient?
The Girl: Patient
Christina: Why do you think you need to go to a mental hospital?
The Girl: Im just asking
Christina: I would ask you why you thought you needed to go to a mental hospital.
The Girl: lol
Christina: Not saying I don't agree with you. You might benefit from an intensive in-patient stay...
long-term.
Months, even.
The Girl: maybe.....
Christina: Some Electroshock therapy...
The Girl: no "Official member of the Lightbulb Lobbers Society."
The Girl: /yawn/ im tired. going to take a nap. bye.
Christina: Laundry.
The Girl: ok bye
Christina: What is the "official member" stuff about?
The Girl: Read it. did u get it?
Christina: No.
The Girl: lobbing a light bulb u kno, throwing it
Christina: Yeah, it'll shatter everywhere and make a mess.
The Girl: ::) nm ::<


Okay, what did I miss? Where did it all go wrong?

Update: Lesson #5 in Bad Parenting (Mean Mom Edition)

By Anonymous -
The Boy refuses to get ready in the morning. All he has to do is brush his hair and teeth, eat a bowl of cereal and get dressed. I wake him at 6:30AM to do these things. I need to leave at 7:30AM to be on time for work. Well, he's made me late every.single.day. I haven't been able to get to work before 8:10AM in I don't know how long. Sometimes, I've been as late as 9AM. Yesterday, I broke. I'd had it. I had been yelling and fussing at the child all morning until my throat was hoarse and I didn't get to work until 8:30AM. That was the limit, y'all. The Limit. I went home last night and told him that we would be leaving from now on at 7:30AM and he would go to school in whatever state he happened to be in--pajamas, half-dressed, I didn't care. He didn't think I was serious. This morning, I got him up at 6:30AM, as usual. I reminded him of the new rule. Then, I got ready. I did not holler, fuss or fight with the child. At 7:30AM, I put ...

Lesson #3 in Bad Parenting (Guilt Edition)

By Anonymous -
The Boy has a behavior chart that we see on a daily basis and must sign and turn back in. The teacher uses a color code to tell us how he's been that day. Green means he's had a good day. Yellow means he's gotten several warnings that day and the teacher finally had enough and told him to turn his card. For this, he gets 6 minutes in the corner when he gets home. (Six years old, six minutes.) Blue means he's been rambunctious and didn't learn the first card-turn and now loses his recess time at school, and is grounded to his room when he gets home for the evening. No toys. Red means that he's been a total hellion and hasn't listened, hasn't done his work and loses recess time, goes to the principal's office and will be grounded to his room without toys until he brings us home 5 green days--preferably in a row and, depending on what he did, possibly a spanking. We don't like to spank, but when nothing else will work, we do. Well, so far this ...

Resentment

By Jennifer -
I'm glad it's going to work out, and that my kids are going to see their grandparents and my parents are going to see their grandkids, even if not in the way we thought and not for the actual holidays. I'm even perfectly fine with taking the trip without the kids - assuming I do get to take the trip, which is the assumption I'm working on right now. But you know what? Even though I do understand where it comes from, I'm a little upset at being preemptively accused of international parental kidnapping, you know?
