Backstory; When my kids were little, I'd rock the to sleep or lay by them and pat them and sing to them. Most mothers do. I had a few songs that I always sang. The main four were "Danny Boy", "A Pirate Looks At 40", "Suicide Is Painless", and "Midnight At The Oasis".
Also, my oldest son hates me and I'm the worst mother in the world and anything I do or did is tainted with brimstone and the blood of innocent unbaptised babies or some sh*t like that to him. He has a baby that I'm not allowed to see. Because I'm evil or something, I don't know, his reasons change with the wind.
Anyway, tonight my youngest who is 16 wasn't feeling good. She wanted me to sit by her, pat her and sing to her while she was going to sleep. She said "Sing Danny Boy" I started singing it. And patting her on her back in time with my heartbeat like I used to do.
She interrupted me and said "Oh my God listen to this! E (oldest son) was in there with M (grandbaby) the other day when I was there and he was singing that to her! I walked in and said 'You're singing Mom's song' and he had the deer in the headlights look and started singing something else, but she yelled for Danny Boy again and he sang it and told me to get the f*** out"
Here is what I think. As much as he acts like he hates me, he doesn't. I think he feels like if he changes his attitude he's backing down and men don't do that here. I've made an impression on him and he holds to the stuff from childhood. He also sings the Buffett song to her G says. She's heard it.
I need to find a way to give him an out so he can "win".
