Nearly isn't soon enough

In an effort to continue avoiding people thinking he's a douche bag, my nearly-ex-brother-in-law has adopted a new coping mechanism. Rather than simply depend on his ability to schmooze and charm people into believing anything he wants, he is now terrorizing his children.

I'm seriously not kidding.


The latest move is right out of an old elementary school movie. Stand in front of someone and block them every time they try to step around you. Also, tell them that you're the parent and you can do anything you want anytime you want to. Yessiree, that'll make your alienated kids like you again. Nothing childish about that.


Really?


That's the best idea you can think of?


I guess that's better than last week when he was telling the kids that they couldn't talk to each other. Or sit alone together in a bedroom trying to memorize the periodic table. Because a barely-teenage girl will naturally not be thinking about homework with her barely-double-digit-age brother.


Can you hear yourself, dude? Your brain is puking crap all over your face. You don't seem to realize how utterly stupid you are. And worst of all, I told you how to be friends with your kids! I told you what two behaviors would get them to like you again! You never listen to me and now your kids hate you even more than they did before you abandoned them.


Serves you right.
