[QUOTE="Lil, post: 630783, member: 17309"] I guess things have settled. Husband came home just as I was explaining to son that he feels hurt and excluded by us at times, because son has a tendency to want to talk to me and not to his dad. He confirmed it. Son apologized and said that he was only joking around. Husband ... well, didn't apologize for overreacting, although I really do think he did. It wasn't a serious conversation. I don't know why this particular time ticked him off so much. Of course I got stuck at home with sad-sack kid who didn't know why his dad was so mad...went on and on about how he feels like such a disappointment to us...has nothing to do and no money and no friends and this has been so hard on him going from the college town where there was always someone around and something to do and he had a car and he had money (which he really didn't have...but seemed to have a talent with having $ for at least a burger from time to time) to having nothing now and no car (since we won't let him take it until he has a job) and no friends who want to spend time with him and nothing to do. I said, for the thousandth time, that the job will fix that...he'll have money and people to talk to and meet new people, that this isn't permanent and he needs to find a way to make the best of this, find something to do that doesn't take money, take up running, take walks, bake cookies...[I]anything[/I]! As usual, he ignored me. I get so [I]tired [/I]of repeating myself. At least he acknowledged that the no-job is his fault. (I have to say...in his defense...I tried really hard today myself to get the Walmart website application and couldn't. It's really weird and it was like, if they don't have an opening you can't do anything. The online apps are just weird.) At one point just before his dad came home I said, "You know what I want? (Since he'd spent the better part of an hour telling me what he wanted.) I want a quiet, stress-free household!" Husband is on-line. Kid is sitting in the car. I don't know why exactly, I guess it's "out of the house." I need a vacation from my home. [/QUOTE]
