Your son loves you Blah. I know you feel it is an invasion of your privacy - it is.. BUT he cares enough about you to feel he has to protect you even though that is not HIS job.
Go out with him tonight and have some fun. Maybe his idea of fun will get you out of that blah mood you say you are in.

You have a right to be angry. It is an invasion of privacy. On the other hand, you can't really stop him so you may have to agree to disagree. Is street racing legal?? Don't do anything too dangerous.

No it isn't legal. There was this motorcycle guy who whizzed past me one night over there & he hops off his bike while it is going so fast & his heels shoot sparks off the pavement. Gotta say that WAS cool to see.

You better stop him or you will never have a good relationship ever again. Trust me, my stbex's son drove a wedge between us because he felt like I ruined his life. And when it came to me vs. him, well as you can tell I lost that one. Never again with older children I say.

One of us needs to move Chezzy. I think he is supposed to get another apartment this week.

My son moved out last week. I see him more now than I did when he lived here. He also pops in to "spend the night". I think that depends on where he is when the end of the night come.

Since we are not technically under the same roof anymore I think we BOTH appreciate each other more now. We love each other, but I think we just butt heads alot.

You will always be the mother/parent. Keep it that way. Do not try to be his best friend. It will make everything worst. Good for the move stuff. Yes again he is yours and always will be. BUt he needs to live his life and you yours, hopefully seperate with minor contact.

Blah, he crossed the line in his effort to be the "good son looking out for his mom". Its not like your in a nursing home with Alzheimers. Your perfectly capable of taking care of yourself. No doubt he loves you and wants to protect you but he is also exhibiting a controlling behavior - that is not good. Its a fine line to walk but he needs to understand that if he loves you, he needs to respect you first. And, what he did shows no respect for you and your decision making ability.

And street racing! I knew you lived a wild and crazy life. I don't think I'd want to be in the car. I'd stand on the sideline and watch but I'm a boring old so and so anyway.

It is so hard to set boundaries with kids -- even adult kids. But it sounds like you and your son have a good relationship, with this being just a ripple on the surface.

Yeah I agree with you Mike he crossed the line. Not going to let him get away with that again.

Me? Wild and crazy? Just because I have a little thrill seeking streak here and there ? ;) And just when I was feeling so proud of myself for setting such a sedimentary example :P

News we usually get along great, you are right. This too shall pass :)

I'll just live vicariously through you. Tell me if I enjoyed that street racing...

I think in his own way it is a sweet thing he thought he was doing for you. I know that it is crossing the line and you are angry but to him he thought he was doing a good thing by looking after the most important person in his life. If I were you I would explain your anger towards it but also let him know that you know he thought he was doing a good thing....but it just wasn't.

Blah, I hope you can get out of your funk. Maybe you will have fun out tonight. Get out and enjoy.

Blah-
My son (10yo) got on myspace and messaged all my guy friends using foul language. I was mortified. I got mad at him but I could understand his anger and concern for me. He just overstepped his boundries. Look at it from his perspective.
