He is driving me insane tonight. He is enough of a pain in the arse at the best of times, mumbling answers that I can't desipher and generally acting like an unpaying lodger rather than our SON!!!
A few weeks ago he wanted to start using his 'good' trainers for PE at school, because they are 'more comfy' and better for running about, apparently. So despite my reservations, since they were expensive ones, I let him on the proviso that he looked after them. And yes you guessed it, a couple of weeks ago he came home without them, mumbled that they were lost (I think that was what he grunted, anyway), and I have been nagging him ever since to check lost property, ask the teachers, etc, but they have not been found.
Well anyway, today he has come home and said he has lost his entire PE kit. That means a rugby top, polo top, shorts, jogging trousers, socks, all with the school's bloody logo on so they are really sodding expensive.
He has PE tomorrow so I have written a note to the teacher asking him to give DS time to check through lost property for his stuff. If he doesn't come home with it tomorrow I will flip. I can't fecking afford to replace it all, even more so at this time of year, and worst of all, whilst I'm sitting here getting more and more wound up, he doesn't seem to give a shite!!!
Sorry but I needed to offload. Will take deep breaths now!!! He's 13 BTW.
