Who's Calling the Shots?

Just read an article in OK magazine about how LeAnn Rimes was going to attend her fiance's son's Career Day at school. The mom, Brandi Glanville, tweeted her outrage: "It isn't ur place. You are not his parent."

Here's how I score this:

LeAnn: 1 point for agreeing to participate in her future stepchild's school activity. The boy -- who looks to be about 8 or 9 years old -- must have asked her or how else would she have known about it, right? And the article states that she often takes the boy to school.

The Dad: minus 2 points. Sounds like he didn't give the mom a heads' up and put his fiancee in a difficult position. He's either totally tone-deaf to the interest in his high-profile relationship or he's a twerp who's too intimidated to man-up and handle things the right way between the women.

The Mom (Brandi): minus 1 point - seriously, you had to Tweet your dissatisfaction? How about working it out privately? Boorish behavior isn't attractive. We get it -- he's your kid, you get school activities.

No matter who was right/wrong, the kid loses -- angry mom, incapable dad, and seemingly caring step-mom who erratically gets pulled in and out of his life. Grow-up, grown-ups.

Until next time, choose happy.
