I really hate what I'm about to post. Mainly because I absolutely love being a mother, and I adore kids in general; I feel guilty for even feeling this way but I need to get it out of my head in the hopes I will feel differently if I do.
My neighbor has a foster son who is the same age as my boys (third grade). They will be going to school together and he's been playing at our house a LOT lately. I have an open door here and have always been of the mindset that since I've got a few kids... what's a one or two extras? It's no more chaos, mess, etc. and a lot of the time they play together and end up entertaining eachother which eases the burden on me.
And then there's Zach. Aaaaaargh. He's got some issues. He's not a bad child but he is constantly asking me questions like:
Can I come spend the night?
Can I eat dinner over here?
Can you buy me something? (mind you I already paid for him to eat at McDonalds as well as taking him to the zoo)
Can we go on that ride?
Can we get something to drink? (after he got tired of carrying the last one and tossed it- cokes in the machine at the zoo are $2.00)
Can we get ice cream?
And then there is the stuff he says to my kids. I'm a goofy mom and I mess with them all the time. I told them if they spilled pop in my car they'd have to lick it off the seats or suck it out of the carpet. What does Zach say? My step son ratted on him because he had asked Bryce if he would have to lick it off if he spilled it on his "naked front privates."
Thankfully Bryce is a good boy and knows that it was completely inappropriate. I told Zach that if anyone's front privates were naked they would be in trouble and that we don't speak like that in our family.
I really don't know if I'm overreacting but I just feel like he's this negative energy that is tainting anything he's involved in. He's the one who is always having bad ideas (like sticking things to my walls and leaving marks) and he seems to have this influence over my son where he just forgets everything I've taught him.
I keep a much closer eye on him now when he's here but I have begun to think that I really don't want them in the same class in school next week. I will cross that bridge when I come to it, but I'm really tempted to call the school to make sure they move Waylon if they are in the same class.
Is this bad?
I feel like such a bitch. I know that the kid has had a lot to deal with and I had my own emotional issues as a child. The difference was that I was still kind, honest and obedient. I just buried myself in books... instead of getting in trouble.
