Kindle Fire, facebook and grrrr

David got angry with his brother because his brother asked him to leave a room David isn’t supposed to be in.  So he stole my Kindle Fire.  Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but how does that help? Oh and he got on facebook again….. grrrrr and facebook won’t let me delete his account without his permission. he got on facebook through the Kindle, which was secured in my bedroom. He isn’t allowed technology and especially facebook because he likes to friend people he shouldn’t and threaten people. What good did it do for him to spend 3 full days in the hospital?

another night done. starting anew with old behaviors

Well, David came home from the hospital. Promptly stole my Kindle Fire, my camera, and my cell phone.  I imagine that he stole some other things, we just haven’t figured out what yet. I am frustrated.  Frustrated that he can behave and not steal anything or misbehave while he is in psych, and then he comes home and the behaviors start up right where he left off. I wasn’t out of the room for two minutes.  I told him that I would know if he moved or not.  He was in the same position as when I left, but my cell phone was missing.  So I confronted him. He said “I saw it on the counter.” and tried to get around me.  I stopped him, and reached into his pocket.  sure enough, there was my phone… “I don’t know how it got there…” he cries. He has only been home

Fundraising to attend At Home Dad’s Convention.

I am applying for a scholarship to the At Home Dad’s convention in Washington D.C.  However, I still need to raise money for the travel and since we live in North Dakota, airplane fare is expensive.  The convention is the first weekend in October. I am trying this with a ChipIn. Please give a couple of dollars if you can afford to.  Any excess funds will be donated to the At Home Dad’s Scholarship fund to help another father attend the conference next year. Donations to me through the ChipIn are not tax-deductible.  If you would like to donate to The National At-Home Dads Scholarship and help other dads attend the convention, you can make a donation at the website www.daddyshome.org. My apologies for any confusion.   Tweet #fighting4answrs
