SWMBO has discovered that her pair of Canuckian grandparents are adequate to give her a way to run off to a new life in a non-US jurisdiction . She assures me that she would take me with. She didn’t mention K.

Cleaning up a whole pile of clutter mostly related to K. Stuff that seemed like a good idea at the time but never caught his focus. A pile of old classwork that should have just gone into the recycling direct from his bag, because he has never been willing to discuss it. Books that he ‘bought’ with “Good Behavior Bucks” at school but which he has no patience to listen to or look at. Random toys that lost interest and got buried.
A lot of stuff reminding me of my #BadDad status. -
I spend a substantial portion of my life calling across 2 rooms to K. to get him to a meal. This is not abuse of a disabled person; he prefers to be in control of his own moving around the house and it is important that he stays as active and mobile as he can be. He is not task-focused, however...
It is hard to express how much I resent being in a position where I must "nag." It's a big piece of why I've run away from managing people.

I’m so tired of doing what I have to do and being so shoddy at it.

The only reason I’m not looking to emigrate yet is my son. SWMBO and I could work from anywhere, he will never work an hour of economically productive labor anywhere in his life, no matter the accommodations. The profoundly #disabled are not a set of people sought for immigration by any country. The Fascists would rather they just be cleansed from the Race.
Living in the home state of Betsy DeVos, I cannot doubt that they will do so. -
Hahaha! Me trolling my daughter who is trying to study for a test with my picccolo trumpet… #BadDad #trumpet #FamilyLife

CW: Lazy Parent’s Lament
Really envying childless-by-choice folks today.
I basically don’t say ‘no’ to Kyle about anything because the scope of his whims is pretty small and it’s not as if he can push his own wheelchair.
An hour outside rolling him around the neighborhood reciting every house number and helping him proudly demo his knowledge of all the street names is amazingly exhausting.
I am so grateful for the prediction of rain for tomorrow.

Is it bad that following a lot of queer young people makes me feel a whole bunch better about ways I’ve avoided being #BadDad?

I ‘m not well.
I need to file legal forms at the county court for a long-procrastinated bit of formality.
Tried. Clerk says I had the wrong forms. I did the one for an “INCAPACITATED INDIVIDUAL” but there’s a DIFFERENT form for an “INDIVIDUAL WITH ALLEGED DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY” Apparently got the wrong Dr. form too. I need the “PHYSICAL APPRAISAL FORM” not a “REPORT OF PHYSICIAN OR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL”
I am at “cry in car, step outside to howl in rage” levels of collapse.

I think it's fair to say that my children, like all children, are generally lovely but also kind of gross... 😂

I mean, he'll be fine this time, but only because the fine folks at Children's PM&R had a timeslot available before his meds run dry.
It was a mistake to let me procreate.

There's nothing so disorienting for a parent as a late-decision snow day. Especially fabulous with county-level special needs programs, where the school itself can be open while the buses are not running because the regular local district is closed.
I'm so lucky that Kyle handles every surprise as an adventure. Had him all dressed, fed, lunch packed and waiting for the bus. Which did not come.He thinks it's funny that his school will only have teachers.

CW: Parental whining.
Kyle has learned how to make some of his toys almost reproduce a 33.6Kbps connect squeal. That's not his goal, of course, his goal is to trick me into thinking the batteries are dead. He promotes this with a dramatic "Oh no, the toy is buzzing, the batteries must be DEAD!"
I am not fooled.
He does not care. He's gonna keep doing it until the batteries ARE dead.

CW: Blood
Kyle can't shop, so he gave me something personal for Xmas.
