[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 556126, member: 1514"] Suz...I always want to make it better and in fact, the more Cory tries, the more we have attempted to help him out of some problem situations. For example, a couple of weeks ago his truck broke down and he couldnt get the 5 miles to wear his ride picks him up. Now in years gone by we would have just blinked and said "let Mandy take you." But that entails waking Mandy up, getting the baby up and all that at 4 am. Yes I know...Tony and I did it for years when we were young and had no one to help us but sometimes I am a sucker. Well Cory has been doing very well lately and after Tony fired him he immediately got another job that is really good and his boss loves him and even has put him in charge of running a crew. Tony obviously taught him very well and Cory brags to everyone about how he wouldnt be where he is today if his daddy hadnt taught him so well. Anyway, when Cory's truck broke down he called over here and asked Tony if he could us our truck just for 4 days a week to drive the 5 miles each way to get to his ride. Now this is something we really dont like to do because Cory has no license and my truck is an heirloom from my dad. Its not just any old truck. We got it when my dad died. Cory swore on his grandfathers grave he would be careful and nothing would happen to it. Then came the call last Thursday. They had a slight accident with the truck! I was about to freak until I found out what happened. Mandy backed into it with her car while it was parked in their yard. She broke the blinker light. Nothing major. Cory is gonna buy the new light. But boy was Cory ticked off! He told her point blank that she had just cost him the chance of EVER using that truck again because of what she had done and from now on SHE would be getting up to take him to work....lol. My gosh I think the boy has learned a thing or two from all our talks. It wasnt our fault we were going to refuse him again...it was hers. He also made HER come over here to tell Tony what had happened...lmao. I think my baby is growing up. About time, he has kids he has to make responsible himself...lol. [/QUOTE]
