How in the frick can you all help with a completely random situation in a small town in MS that none of you live in? It’s literally just a bullshite policy that uniquely effects my son in a way that crushes his spirit. It’s just super, super bad luck that literally I was asking help on how I console my son through.

frick, there’s no winning, IDGAF.

I know the answer before I’m about to go push for it. So be it.

You literally started a thread where in the title you ask for help.

“When I was your age, life crapped on me so bad that after a while, I didn’t care anymore. Hopefully soon life will crap on you so bad that you won’t care either” shrug with smile !

Tell him he should have been a female. No matter how hard life gets if you’re a female you will always get out on the good side. Having a vagina will get you anything.

How the hell can anyone give you the best advice without more specific details?

Since you have all of the details (but refuse to share them) and you're presumably a man, ruminate on those details for a while and then devise a plan going forward, and serve as a positive example for your kid by not feeling sorry for yourself and him. What'll best prepare him for the future is if you show him how best to respond to misfortune.

So go hunt, fish, or whatever you most like to do to pass the time, clear your mind and then do what you have to do.

I grew up in that small town you live in. I went to the same high-school your son attends. I still spend a good bit of time there on weekends. I bet I know the owners of the restaurant bar you're sitting at now. I could probably be a good resource if you explained your situation.

Explain to them what the Holocaust is. Oh, just my parents? That's fair.

It's always been policy that boys cannot tryout for the girls footyball team. Not sure why this is considered bad luck.

Just reassure him that he will still be allowed to be a cheerleader when he goes to college.

I don’t know Thomas all that much, but his place is fun.

Son finished Junior High football Tuesday night, with his best showing at QB all year...very accurate, calm...they lost every game this year and outside of a couple onside kicks, he didn’t get to do much with his foot.

Wednesday at school an assistant coach told him that the head coach expected him at practice...I brought him cleats, he kicked the ball really well. Head coach tells him after practice that he’ll definitely play Friday/today.

Thursday he gets his new uniform, number 99, and kicks exceptionally well with the special teams coach. Dead center, over the uprights from 44yds....set to play tonight.

Kid who isn’t at school today’s parents calls in at 11:00 and say he tested positive. We’re on our way to school to bring my boy his gear and we get a text...it’s so over, quarantined for 14 days, season ends next Friday unless they win tonight.

Just talked to the coach, he says show up in 14 days...confident they’ll win.

Gut punch for my son, and all his friends who are so proud of him. Rarely do 8th graders get to fully play varsity. Need them to win tonight, to see it happen now.

I know this all didn’t make sense, but oh well.

Then be a fricking man and explain to him that it's how you deal with adversity that ultimately defines your character.

You can Venmo me the fricking money for the advice.

Just bring him out for a disgusting rare burger and post photos of it here.

Edit: I just read your above post about the actual “problem.”

Goddamn man you suck. That’s not a real problem. I’d say your kid needs to learn how to just move forward, but based on your melodramatic overreaction about nothing...Jesus.

What a bitch... no wonder your son can't deal with adversity. What ever will he do for two weeks.

My son learned life is unfair last year, when he was at UAB Children’s with blood sugar of 700: diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes.

So yeah, he knows already.


Daughter, now 23, (No pics) found out when she was 13.
No words will make you believe life is fair after that.
