o yes but let me not answer the phone and he will go nutzo....southern sons are rather bossy...they seem to think if grumpy isnt home that kidlet becomes man of the house....i didnt answer the phone one time..when i was sick in all fairness to him....and he drove over and gave me hell for about 30 minutes...

I told my kid to go get a room, work and go to college. He could have lived here and commuted.

He calls me every week and we have a great relationship.

... AND, I'm far from a perfect parent.
