Raised by his mother, and her Ex Con boyfriend....
Should have gone to court more. I spent a shitload on lawyers and more time in court trying to get more parenting time. I wanted more time and she wanted more money. Since they don't coincide, it was always a shitfight. I got a little more each time but goddamn she fought it. She was in a county where 80-90% of parenting cases were deadbeat dads so I just got lumped in. Kept on them year after year and they had no choice but to give me something more each time. Only reason you would get zero parenting time is if you are a total fuckup, or didn't try. Don't get me wrong, the system is fucked. I slogged through the whole, fuckin, thing.
So, did you, like, think it was some sort of a prank call at first.
So he knows how to make a shiv , but doesn't know how to change a tire.
Go inside and smack your wife... and ask her what the hell she was doing having an affair with a liberal milkman or somesuch... ;-) Probably didn't have milkmen in 1990. But you get the idea.
Did about the same thing. Both kids had to change a tire on an old 4Runner before they were allowed to drive it. The whole cycle too. Drop the spare, change the tire, take the spare off and put the original back on AND put the spare back under the truck. Can't expect them to know if they aren't taught.
I didn't have that lesson. Yet, somehow, even before I actually had to change a tire, I knew how to do it. Perhaps because as a child (like 5 years old), I'd go to the workshop and fasten bolts together through wood planks (complete with an actual electric drill...no batteries here...real torque), use a multitude of screw drivers, wrenches, wire cutters and even soldering irons!!! I guess my father figured if I couldn't figure out the lug nut thing after my "vo-tech training at 5 years old", that he didn't want me back in the house.
