[QUOTE="Star*, post: 318660, member: 4964"] I'm sorry CIV...I wish there was something that would make them realize when YOUR ability to pity them is gone it's gone. After three days of Dude being here I felt the same way. Old habits raised their ugly head and I thought - YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING. OH NO - and I threw some clothes into a trash bag, tossed the phone at him and said "Call someone - you need a ride, and a place you're outta here or we'll give you a nice sleeping bag and a ride downtown to the park." Dude is here, and testing limits. If we were like we were before? We'd be sunk. Why just yesterday we left him a list of chores to do and he did nothing, didn't look for a job and then had the nerve to ask for a soda. DF made dinner for me and him - and Dude came in from a friends house and said "Where's my dinner?" DF said - "At the mission, and when you get there if you think you'll get this (pointed to nice chicken dinner) kind of meal for raking a few lousy leaves, vacuuming the house and filling in 2 holes in the backyard, doing your laundry free? Brother are you mistaken." and with that - we pointed to the 2 slices of bread and a cup of water left for him on the stove complete with a bill - $2.00." This morning? The house was vacuumed, the dishwasher was unloaded, the doors were cleaned in and out, the bathrooms were cleaned, the laundry was washed, dried and folded, the floors were swept and mopped and without being asked the trash was taken out. - DF said - well that paid for breakfast and squatting here. OMG:surprised1: What ya got planned for paying for your lunch? - I don't think he was kidding. No perks - and now that HE has drug "daddy" into it? HOW convenient. GO THERE. :knockedout: I'm not sure what the conversation was while I was gone - but I don't want to know. Just know I'm not living in a house where I go to work, pay bills AND clean while a difficult child sits home, watches MTV, and rules my life. NO MORE VALDEEZ WITZ....I AM NOT AN ANIMAL (nor am I an otter) :winking: Crazy - I'm so sorry this is where your daughter is at right now. I hope something happens - maybe this ...to finally be the nut that hits her in the head. This Auntie hopes so. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
