That my sweet boy is still inside my asshole teenager somewhere he does something sweet. DH and I were just texting about Camden acting like an ass at football practice yesterday. DH coaches the varsity offensive line, Camden is on the Freshman team and because he's a "coaches kid" he thinks he can do whatever he wants. He has been giving the Freshman coaches hell, one of them is DH's best friend. I was just texting telling DH how I hate even talking to him most of the time because he is rude and mean, blah, blah, blah.
Then, Camden calls from school to make sure I put lunch money in his account and he said "I love you" when he was getting off the phone with me. That might not seem like a big deal, but it was from the phone in the office which means other people were around. So I'm pretty happy that he will still admit to loving me in front of people. I love him too, even though he's a giant asshole!
Re: Just when I start losing hope
Thanks @MrsSparklesMcGee! His coach is going to run the shit out of him today........again.
Well this is just poor strategy on his part. Your husband is going to hear about every little thing Camden does.
Make the kid run some laps? It sounds like he could stand to burn off some energy. Does Camden actually *like* football? Or is it something he does because your husband is into it and he might be upset if Camden dropped it? Especially if he doesn't have the genetic gifts to stand a chance of playing college ball, there may be a point when dropping it and focusing on other things is ideal. But maybe he's just a teen boy who likes to goof around :P
Glad he admits he loves you though.
@LuckyDad Both DH and I have made it clear that he does not have to play football. He definitely wants to play, but I'd actually be ok if he didn't. He is not as athletic as DH and I'm pretty sure he realizes that, but he loves playing and being part of the team. DD got the athletic genes. Poor Camden.
Anyway, he just likes goofing off.
Awe how sweet @Libby1978.
Just when we are SO close to throwing our hands up, they pull something so sweet & reminiscing of the old days..... Gotta love them.....
We will @Libby1977 as long as we have
You should be! @AshPal1 :P
Me too! I just wish it was more often! haha @Moidonna
Just wait. You'll singing a different tune in a few years. When you have a teenager and an effing 3 year old.

@ReeseFox DH tells DD that her mouth is her worst enemy all.the.time. And it's 100% true. She feels this overwhelming need to have the last word.

Good idea! Just do that for the next 12-13 years or so.
