I'm back with another issue

[southernangel]

Ok, as some of you may have seen my previous post about my boyfriend. I'm having a new issue. Thank you in advance for any advice and for reading this.

On Wednesday I went to see him. Now this is a big ordeal because he lives almost 3 hours away and he had to work at 3pm. I left the house at 7 and got to his house just before 10. We had a great day together. We just spent time together and enjoyed each others company. I left to come home when he went to work and things were ok. Today is my son's 15th birthday and for his birthday I got him a cell phone.

My brother had told my son yesterday that he would pick him up from school today. However, he called me this morning and told me he couldn't so I sent my son a text message to let him know that his uncle wasn't going to be able to get him and that he needed to get on the bus.

Well I was on the phone with my boyfriend when my kid sent me a text back letting me know that he got the message. My boyfriend heard the ringtone and asked me what it was, and when I told him he freaked out and hung up on me and wouldn't talk to me the rest of today. When i sent him a text and asked him what i had done wrong he told me that i infuriated him that the school has a receptions to take messages and I shouldn't be texting my son at school.

I responded that why should I go through the receptionist when I could talk to him directly and that I have a copy of his schedule and know when he goes on break. He still is mad and tells me that he shouldn't have a phone at school anyway because it's a distraction blah blah blah.

I find it extremely convenient and makes me feel good that i can contact my kid wherever he is at any time if I need to and he can contact me and I think that my boyfriend is blowing this way out of proportion and I really don't understand what his problem is and why he's so angry about this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.

Is he the father of your son? If he is not, then remind him of that.

Sounds like yor boyfriend is a little immature

[southernangel]

He's not and he knows he's not. The thing is, he just blows things way out of proportion and he says that we're on different wave lengths and we have different opinions and values. I tried to explain to him that we're not always going to agree and that we're going to think about things differently. He just makes me crazy and seems to make every little thing into an argument.

not a good sign for a happy union

What the bloody hell is wrong with having a phone when you're at school? I mean, I didn't get my first phone till I was 18 (ten years ago), but these days, don't all the kids have them? I agree on it being convenient and nothing wrong with texting your son at school. There's an off button and silent mode, so what he does with it is up to your son.

Your bf is blowing this out of proportion, and is he from the stone age? It's none of his business too to mingle in this, you're the parent, your decisions, and if he starts with that now already, it makes oyu wonder what he'll be like when you get more serious..

[WICKED THOUGHTS]

Its non of his business and you need to pur him in on his place. Eh, sounds like an unhealthy relationship.

uhg. Tell him outright to stop being a dick to you because you need to take care of your kid.
Don't let him over-react and get away with it. His reaction is not your fault, or problem. If you're not carefull, he'll make his over-reactions your fault.
Don't cater to them, and for the love of all that is proper, don't let them become your problem.
