I have a peacock instead of a son.

mrsbrownG has spent the day telling me about the clothes he has bought and the (large) list of clothes he still "needs".
Today he came home with a pair of boardshorts and decided that the legs needed to be sewn smaller so they fit his legs more closely. He nearly went away to the beach in January without bathers because he couldn't find a pair that "had the right cut"
He has spent the last two hours (!!!!) agonising, pinning and sewing his shorts. Then he had to re-sew them because narrowing the leg had created "the wrong look" at the crotch and they had a "pouch".
Now he's got a different pair of trousers on (tight purple with pinstripes) and he's making orgasmic noises as he admires himself and his new army boots in the full length mirror.
I never want to answer, "Does this look OK?" again.
Oh, and I'm a bad mother because I didn't notice that he had had 1cm cut off his hair and it "looks so much better now."
Addit: Now he wants to set up a video camera at eye height, so he can see what he looks like from behind. Please, make him stop!

Re: But that's how it's supposed to be ...
Date: 2006-03-23 12:14 pm (UTC)But then my brain was trying to sort the good mother is bad and bad mother is good dichotomy and I just thought I'd make my side as clear as possible.
The emoticon helped btw.
