Turns Out, He Was Just Kidding

Boys will be boys.  That's all I can say. 

Today in school, the kid decided that he wasn't going to fight Ryan unless Ryan threw the first punch.  That isn't going to happen.

So tonight, the kid sends Ryan a text saying that he was "just kidding" about all the stuff he wrote on FB and in his recent texts.  I don't believe him, and neither does Ryan, but my son has such a good heart, that he forgave the kid and they are going to hang out after school tomorrow.

I talked to the kid on the phone tonight, and told him that I didn't care how they talked to each other in school, I just never wanted to see that kind of language on Ryan's FB ever again.  There was a lot of yes, ma'am's, so I hope he got the message.

After all the stress this kid caused me this week, I really want to tell Ryan not to be friends with him anymore.  But, I know how hard it is to be a teenager, and i really want him to make his own decisions.  And this week, he has proven to me that he can make the right ones, so I am going to trust his judgement.

For now.

He wasn't just kidding but at least he also wanted things to stop. Thank goodness. Now Ryan knows what kinda kid this boy is.

Sorry you had a stressful time. Hopefully things calm down now.

Yes ma'ams are good. There is nothing more effective than scaring the daylights out of people you can't trust. Don't mess with mama bear or the claws will come out. Rawwwr.

Kids will be kids! Since I don't have any, I thought it would pass. But, I can't tell you to trust him or not. I guess, I would. But, not be FB friends again!

It's good to hear that you're going to have a more relaxed weekend with this issue resolved.

Tammy ~ yeah, we don't believe him either. i think when it came down to it, he was more talk than action.

Sue ~ I hope so, too! :)

jennie ~ you got that right! lol!

Dawn ~ I know Ryan said it will be a while before he really trusts the kid again, so who knows. At least the threats have stopped.

Clara ~ I am planning on having a girls weekend with my daughters. My husband and son are remodeling my mom's kitchen, so the girls and I will have a relaxing movie filled with movies and board games. I can't wait!

He's a lot more forgiving than I would be. I read your earlier post with the background on this, and I would be mad! Just kidding? Please.

Diana ~ I know, it's a lame attempt to make himself look better, but we know the truth.

Bullies really piss me off. Don't forget to talk to the kids mom about her son's bad behavior if you haven't already. Cyber-bullying is getting more and more pervasive.
