[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 260713, member: 1233"] This guy sounds like a first class loser. He also sounds like he has some major mental illness going on. The hoarding can be a real problem. At least he isn't hoarding cars (a friend of mine found that her father in law had over 25 cars stored all around the town tehy live in!!. I am so sorry that they had the nerve to wake you up before 7 am with that request. It is one thing if the friend wants to live her life coping with that behavior. It is a whole new ballgame to start taking it into YOUR life, as if you have nothing better to do than watch their sick kid so the guy can play. As far as husband and I are concerned you gave up your right to play like that when you got pregnant. Both of you gave it up. Sure, if things are all going well and tehre is free time and extra $$, go for it. But NOT if all conditions are not ok. I hope that the child wasn't dragged around sick all day. If he was I would consider calling CPS anonymously. It isn't healthy or safe for the child to be taken skiing or dragged around like that all day. Esp not with a fever that high. Maybe someone outside the situation (like a CPS worker) could help your friend see how unhealthy the situation is for everyone in the home. Maybe I have a hard line on this, but it just truly seems like everyone is sacrificing so Dad can be an entitled baby. The kids cannot stop it, but it has to damage them. I hate to see that go on. on the other hand, I hope that they just had a peaceful day at home with the phones turned off so that they could rest and chill out. (Wishful thinking, but I can hope!) Hugs, you are a good friend for being concerned about the child. susie [/QUOTE]
