[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 496507, member: 2315"] Thanks DDD. He is anxious to return to work and I am anxious for him to. Besides it giving him something to do it is a good boost for his self esteem to be able to pay his own way. He is right here all day most days except if he is at a meeting. Boredom is setting in for both of us actually. I have lots to do but he wants to do them with me and well that doesn't always work out. If I watch TV it has to be something we both enjoy ie: no chick flicks. If I eat he eats with me. He plops in my favorite chair and stays there for hours watching tv or reading his AA stuff.. I want the dog confined to the back part of the house because he shed so much but the dog wants to be wih my son who lets him. More mess for me to clean. Son is good to me but I am used to being alone most of the time. A good middle road solution of him working and me having time alone to have a friend to lunch or watch a movie or even have a glass of wine ( can't drink in front of him so...) would be most welcome. I knew I would have to deal with this when husband retired (just not the wine thing lol) but having to adjust to son as if he was a retired husband is sometimes frustrating. [/QUOTE]
