Our Saturday

Katherine had her soccer game. She did very well. She went after the ball, engaged the other players and everything. She kinda remembered to stay in her position. Her team won 3-2. She was happy.
Micau had Geoffrey (his son) come over for dinner yesterday. It was a little awkard at first but not too bad. He mostly wanted to talk about video/computer games. Katherine had made him brownies and he was very appreciative of that; all in all he was very polite. He is turning 16 on Thursday. Micau drove him home and said that he is still upset about us getting married and is pretty sure that Geoffrey won't attend the ceremony. I asked Micau today what time dinner was on thurs. because every year Micau and Laura take him out to eat. Well he said that he asked Geoffrey about going and Geoff was like i'll think about it. I was like you asked him..wait a minute who's the freaking parent? Okay maybe I don't get it because I'm not dealing with a 16 year old. I've been going along with Micau on not having him over..to let him pout it out..I guess I'm even okay with his decision not to force him at our wedding..but for a parent to ask permission to go to your own child's birthday because he is being a pouting 5 yr old..I don't think so. I would just have asked Laura where the dinner is and what time they were going to be there. I know this a touchy subject with Micau and I because he feels one way and I feel differently. Somethings we do agree on. But this just boggles me. It really does. Why should Micau have to be the one begging to spend time with him? Why should he be asking to go to his own son's dinner? This I truly don't get. I think he is giving way too much "power" over to his son. He is letting his 16 yr old decide important decisions; and since when do 16 yr old ever know what they want anyway? Its bad enough that Micau took this upcoming weekend off because he wanted to spend some time with Geoffrey and he won't even come over...because of me and the kids. I just hate the way he is hurting his dad and I wish Micau would sit down and tell him how it hurts..or just lay into him or something; something to make him understand how much sadness it is causing Micau. Okay..enough of my rant about that.
