LIFE!!!

OH stormed off last night - he and Amber had a bit of a row over the fact that he stood on the tray of beads she was sorting out on the floor and they went everywhere. He never said sorry just went for her (in his defence she was in an awkard place but even so...)/ I told them both to leave it and he went off home saying he wasn't being spoken to like that. MEN!!

I was feeling a bit down anyway but that little outburst just made matters worse then Ryan's girlfirend phoned just as I was going to bed.

Ryan got himself in a state shortly after and burst into tears - it seems he has decided that he wants to end it for various reasons but mainly because he feels the relationship is very one-sided. He says he knows hardly anything about her after 5 1/2 months but she knows everysthing about him. in fact a lot of what he does know has come from a mutual friend. We had a long mother and son chat (I have a very open, frank relationship with boht Ryan and Amber but maybe more so with Ryan) and it seems the mutual friend has told Ryan that his girlfriend wants him to be 'the first' this has made him think that ending it will really hurt her. Ryan has found out recently that quite a few of the girls he knows fancy him, and I think this has made him realise that there are more opportunities for him (as it were!).I feel I have brought Ryan up to be a sensitive young adult as he is adamant that he will not finish things over the phone but face to face. I did suggest that he leave it until the new school year starts as he has a very busy few weeks with work observation and college placement but he doesn't want to drag it out.

He did make me laugh though - he said he felt sorry for Megan (his 4 year old cousin) as she would have to go through all this, so I pointed out that so had Amber to which he groaned.
