[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 12897, member: 1514"] Vent away. I understand completely. If I ask my kid to go do X for me invariably he will go to Y and Z before he does X. I will never forget one time we decided to extend a bit of trust to him and allow him to use our car because he needed to go get diapers or formula or something. My express instructions were "go directly to walmart, get the items, come right back." This trip should have taken him no more than 30 mins tops. Maybe 45 if they were extremely busy. The store is about 7 miles from my house. Well...45 mins go by, an hour goes by, an hour and a half goes by, 2 hours goes by...by now I am livid! Mind you by now it is about 11:30 at nite. I start walking up my driveway to see if I can find him anywhere. Oh yeah...he is over at one of his buddies houses across the street! He thinks this is perfectly ok because "I was across the street!" Excuse me but my instructions were go and come HOME! UGH! [/QUOTE]
