Blog post 'Ahhh the joys of motherhood'

Ahhh the joys of motherhood

I just woke up a few hours ago to the sounds of wretching from the bathroom.

'Oh no!  One of my baby boys is sick!' I think to myself as I enter the upstairs only to be met by the wonderful odor of alcohol permeating the hallway.

My darling boy, my first, all of eighteen and ready to 'take a year off after high school just to see what I wanna do' is barfing up all of the vodka he snuck from our liquor cabinet.  I confronted him straight out of the bathroom (first trip) and he quickly admitted to drinking.

I spent the next two hours watching him run into the walls in his haste to get back into the bathroom, cry because he is so sick, apologize about a hundred times for 'being so fucking stupid', ask how and why people would do this to themselves and swear to me about a hundred more times that he is 'never, ever going to drink again'.  He finally passed out after much complaining about bed-spins and I think his stomach is pretty empty now.

He felt terrible, but I felt just as bad, because....I wasn't watching him while I was sleeping?  I didn't tell him enough that drinking is bad, mmkay?  I didn't SHOW him enough that drinking is bad, mmkay?  I can't find it in my brain to be angry with him...YET. 

Tomorrow is another day, I think I will wake him early with the smells of frying bacon and runny eggs.  Perhaps it's time to break out the 'Star Spangled Banner' sized cymbals and blast some music he hates.  He said he is the 'worst son ever' and that is far from the truth, but tomorrow I am going to be the worst mom ever and hopefully he won't remember that I sat on the floor of his bedroom, wrapped in a blanket, watching him until he finally gave in to sleep.

    I love reading about your travails with your son; not because they cause you emotional harm, but because it is really cool to see someone who cares so much for another person.

    You should do what my mom did, and drag him out of bed to do frivolous work at 4 a.m. I do want to assure you that after listening to all my coworkers with teen boys that this is a normal occurance; and that you aren't the worst mom ever!

    Aww. Well at least he learned his lesson, and you're a great mom. You took care of him even though he did something he REALLY shouldn't have, and now you have to go into punishment mode so he REALLY learns his lesson. Hopefully he'll remember the hell he went through. Hehe.

    You are NOT the worst mother ever!!!  How do I know that?  Cuz we share a brain and that would make me the worst mom ever as well...lol.  Once again you have decided to do EXACTLY what I would do.  Sit on the floor with him while he drove the porcelin bus and BLAST every noise in the house the next day!!!  Must be the irish in us...hee hee.  Or the Debils (Devils)....hee hee.  Mine is getting to be that age and I KNOW my day is comeing....or should I say night is coming when I will probably look at my son as he's driving the porcelin bus and call him an ass hat and go to bed.  Will I feel like it's my fault?  Sure!!  Will I end up on the bathroom floor next to him holding his hair?  Yes!  Why?  Cuz that's what we do!!!  We're Mommies till the end!
