I called James. Because I said we should talk about his punishment today. Gods he's so rude. he didn't think Frankie deserved to be punished because he peer pressured him but I think she made her on choices and ignored her kids. So she should be punished. And then he argued that I should punish her with something that doesn't make her want to die, but my argument is one that no one could argue with.
Everything makes everyone want to die.
He says that every time I ground him that it makes him want to do it more. But when I asked how else I should punish him, he said that he didn't know because he wasn't a dad yet. Being a dad doesn't make you know things. Most dads have 15 years to prepare for a 15 year old. I had days, maybe weeks.
He calls me back later telling med that Estelle is missing and that no one cares. Estelle is always going missing. And yet, just like everything else, it was my fault. Of course. Everything is always my fault. I never get a break. How is everything my fault. What did I do to deserve this?
But of course, I'm a good dad so when he said he was sure he needed to go, I packed him a bag.
