[QUOTE="Lil, post: 673733, member: 17309"] Well, I must admit, I'm already a tad disappointed in him. I decided tonight, as they don't have much in the line of food...and as I'd spent so much already...I'd spend a tiny bit more and take them some perishables, milk (which I had), eggs, bread, salt and pepper, etc. I told Difficult Child I was going to drop them by while running him to work and he mentioned that he'd left a whole gallon of orange juice at the other house. So I grabbed that too. Ran them by and girlfriend answered and I went in and was giving her the groceries and mentioned that he'd said he wanted orange juice. "Yes, for this." she said, frowning. Opened the freezer and there's a fifth of vodka. Really? I spent like $200 on them yesterday, in addition to the loan for the rent, and the first thing he does is spend what little they have on liquor. >:( I am NOT happy. But, deep breath taken, I guess it could be worse. I've had a nice dose of reality - which I [B]needed[/B]. It's not as though I didn't know he drinks. I can't expect that he suddenly changed completely and will be perfect. Not going to happen. If he works and pays the bills it's his life and his business. I'm his mom, but he's an adult (though still 6 months from legal drinking age) and I am not his keeper. I won't be buying anything else, except a couple of Christmas gifts. Certainly, I won't be buying any more orange juice. [/QUOTE]
