[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 172717, member: 3647"] A few things. First, tell easy child that he has to clean for his party. If he says "I don't want to clean" or even better "I don't even [I]want [/I]a party", there ya go. No party. You can tell girlfriend's mom sorry, he did not clean, he is not getting a party. I also would limit his driving until he is making gas money. He'll live without seeing girlfriend for awhile. Neither one of them are going to die. and his friends staying there? BS. They chip in for food or out they go. In fact, THEY can pay for the food they already ate by helping easy child clean the house for HIS party. You really ARE too nice. girlfriend's mom sounds like an imperial whack-job. I've gone to hug people who have stood stock-still and not returned the hug. Hello, I got the hint: they do not hug. So I stopped. You can do that too. Just stand there. If she does not get the hint, then tell her it hurts. Some people will cross boundaries unless they are etched in stone. But I wanted to point out that easy child is taking advantage too. He also needs boundaries. [/QUOTE]
