[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i might've overreacted a bit but i ain't gonna apologize to nobody. we worked so hard on over-spending and over-eating and just as i thought we've made some progress and actually looking forward to him following through them all, he screwed up and disappointed me big time.

yes i work downtown near penn quarters. and yes i offered to pack lunch but he chose to buy. and yes i'm local and school ends today. and yes we go out and buy lunch/dinner together at least a couple times a week. and no this is not at Smithsonian's rip off cafeteria but some lousy food court. and no i don't have 'issues' or need counseling.

I've read the whole thread.  I guess you're just a bitch, then.  I can't even imagine not speaking to my son over this, and I'm pretty cheap too.  I once sent him on a field trip with $20 just in case (lunch was provided, it was a hike so I didn't think there would be souvenirs).  He came back all happy and chirping about how he bought all of his friends treats.  $20 was gone.  I waited until the next day to gently discuss that he probably didn't need to buy candy for the whole class.  (small class, expensive private school--they all had money).

So in typical DCUM fashion, I'm just going to say that I feel sorry for your son.[/quote]
