[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656614, member: 17461"] One time? We so foolishly told our son to mow the grass? And he paid the neighbor kid $20 to do it. And back in the day, I would have mowed my lawn [I]and[/I] the neighbor's, for twenty bucks. We were so surprised and kind of embarrassed. difficult child was all about being a bigshot about it, too. Like, everyone knew where the money was coming from. Well, I mean, except those in denial, of course. I just thought he must be doing really well in that house with those nice young men he lived with. But even I, Cleopatra on steroids cruising along in my boat full of holes, felt embarrassed for the neighbors to know our son had paid theirs to do his job. And like I said, back then, $20 was alot of money. Everything gets all twisted, when we do the things that work for normal parents. Or the things that used to work, for us. I love it that you shovel the elderly neighbor's drive, Jabber. Our neighborhood is like that, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
