[QUOTE="Lil, post: 691288, member: 17309"] Yep. I like this. I agree. These days puke is pretty much what I see. And THAT is the understatement of the year. :sigh: He actually had the audacity to say to me this weekend, "It's not like I had time [to do the community service]." Excuse me? He had oodles of time! He could have had it done within a week of court. But he waited. Then he got a job and decided to go to job corps. So I got him an extension and the ability to substitute job corps for it. Then he quit his job and didn't go to job corps! Then he had more weeks when he didn't do it. All that time he was living literally 1/4 mile from the church where I had worked out that he could do the community service practically unsupervised and free of charge! He stood up the property chairman 2 times! Yeahhh...I think he knows now that mama isn't going to play that game. :sochildish: I'm tired is all Copa. Tired of waiting and tired of him lying. I'm 80% sure - maybe 85% - that he's lying to me about his "job". I think he's either quit Boost or been fired. He now hasn't worked in days and days. Last Wednesday - maybe - he worked. Maybe. He [I]said[/I] he had to just "call and see if they needed him". Right. He says he's there now "talking to them" and that he'll be working "toward the end of the week because Court's on Wednesday." Right. I think he's just saying this stuff so he will be able to tell the judge he has a job and I won't call him out on lying or be put in the position of trying to make it look like he's not a loser when he can't hold a job. But it is what it is. The thread asked if we could do it over, what would we do differently. I was honest. [/QUOTE]
