Conversations with my son

In the middle of talking about someting, I mentioned to my son that I did have a life before I became a mom. His response to my revelation......

Yeah but not a very good one

Last night, was another one of those nights where I would have loved to trade in my mother card if only for a couple of hours. Warren had another melt down about that stupid cd. This time it was a mini melt down and he got over it, but he still didnt' want to put effort into his homework. I could tell he was tired, I don't think he has been sleeping well lately, and I know his rash is bugging him again. (time to look for different soaps and do more detective work to find out what he is allergic to). He ended up not finishing his homework again. I know he tries to get up in the mornign to do it. He sets his alarm and has the intention of doing it, but when AM comes his body doesn't want to cooperate. So the last two days he hasn't had his homework done for school, which has made for some harder days and lost points, which makes him grouchier at night and its vicious circle. But I am getting off topic.

Last night while I was up to my armpits in spaghetti and meatballs (I make my own), I had meat cooking and the can opener whirring with the tv going. I hear my son's voice comming from the living room.. At first I thought I was hearing things, then I realized I wasn't imaginging things.

MOM, what's AIDS?

Tonight started out like it was going to be another one of those nights, as he yet again threw a fit about that cd (what the hell is on that cd anyway?), then had a meltdown about his day in school, and how I never do anythign for him (aside from feeding, clothing, housing, entertaining and educating him for the last ten years!!). But after a mis hit on one of the buttons of the camcorder, lead us to watch much of what we have recorded he seemed to change a bit. After supper he was much more willing to try and work on his homework, he didn't complain at all about his meds, and he actually wrote and did his math all on his own. My son did his math homework all by himself!!!I could cheer. He has the word problems left but needs help with reading those. Then after bath and lotion etc.. we snuggled in his bed and finally had that long talk.. As tough as he likes to act during the day, at night he is still mommy's boy. I actually think our talk went well, though talking about AIDs and safe sex was not a conversation I expected to have with a ten year old, it went suprisingly well considering there was much that I know he wasn't ready for yet. (I mean he's not going to start dating until he is 30 right? Well I can dream can't I?). On the brightside, he's said more than once that his dad and I did things wrong. We shouldn't have had kids. Break my heart, with a double edged sword. He's right that Mike and I were a really bad idea for a couple, but if I hadn't went through that I wouldn't have him and I can't imagine my life without him.
