[QUOTE="Lil, post: 737937, member: 17309"] I also was under the impression political talk was not approved here and I don't really want it to be anyway...this isn't the place for it. I didn't mean to start it - I'm just concerned over my son's fiancé. Cool to call her that. :) Did he? I don't really think so. Once I stopped giving him money - (Thank you Wal-Mart for requiring valid ID's) he was in quite a spot. It was figure it out or else. Luckily, he was with her and he found reason to change. He still smokes pot. He was "tending his garden" a while back. I told him unless there were tomatoes in it, I didn't want to hear about his "garden". But the fact is he can't pay his 1/3 of the rent without work and so he works. If he had any non-work-related income, I have a feeling he'd still be doing as little as possible. The other day his fiancé mentioned doing all the upkeep of the apartment and I gave her a lecture about NOT letting those men (the other roommate is male) walk all over her and expect her to clean up after them just because she's the woman! They're both perfectly capable of doing dishes and taking out trash! But son is lazy...I hope he's helping her out. I'm just knocking wood whenever I speak of him, keeping my expectations low, and hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
