You probably missed the fact that I usually only see him on the weekends. I was reading Harry Potter to him. He took the book home with him to his mothers where it was promptly lost. She also has cable and encourages TV watching while she does work at home. You can't fault her too much. If she didn't give the extra effort she would become prey to the rest of the office pirahna. The job is well paying and she truly lucked out at getting it with no college and middling experience. she intends to keep it fighting tooth and nail, and in todays job market around here, I can't blame her. That's why I'd like to have him more often. Maybe a week on-week off thing. At least until his schoolwork improves. I'll have to get certification training here pretty soon and my time will be very limited.
