State Instead of Husband

Ugh.

The long and short:  teenage boy refuses to stop playing PlayStation.  Single mother unplugs PlayStation and calls cops.

In my household, if I gave my mom shit about playing video games deep into the night, my mom would have woken my dad up.  My dad would have stormed down the stairs and done one or both of these things: backhanded me and then taken a sledgehammer to the PlayStation.  That would have been the last time I gave my mom shit about playing video games deep into the night.

Instead, because this woman does not have a husband to reign in her asshole teenaged boy son, he walks all over her.  Desperate and incapable of parenting her son, she has to call the police – an arm of the state – to help raise her child.

Anyone who tells you that a woman can raise a son by herself need only take these cases in point.

    True that.

    There are exceptions. My mother was fully capable of beating the shit out of any of her sons who even dared look at her funny. She didn’t take no guff… no sirree!

    Both boys and girls need fathers.
