[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 218167, member: 179"] Found my old cell. I can receive calls, but there is no screen to make calls unless I know the number. I'll limp along. H-? I've hidden all the knives in the house and fortunately can't remember where they are. So he says he doesn't want to talk. Ok. I'll give you space. Wakes up an hour and a half later after doing NOTHING in the house and I said I'm having dinner. If you'd like some it's ready. **** pore look on his face he grabs a plate. I gently ask him what's going on. He is screaming almost immediately. It's all about the business. easy child son was supposed to do an event today for Starbucks and couldn't find the place. He has no cell. Clients are calling H every 10 minutes while he's at his first day back at work. I can understand his frustration. BUT...and this is where the fight ensures, I try to explain to him YET AGAIN that you don't have family and friends work for you. It's just such a bad combination. And, the boy is only 18. He needs to go through the things that normal 18 year olds do at that period of their life. They screw up!! They're late, might not have a ride, don't have money for a cell, over sleep, etc. But when you make it business...sigh. I told him he's going to alienate him, just like he's done with me. Let some other employer teach him those lessons of when you're not up to snuff. You're supposed to be a DAD...not a boss. He's yelling about how everyone is so incompetant. HE DOESN'T GET IT! He doesn't understand how easy child could pass up making $500 for 4 hours of work. Ummm...because he hates it? Ya think? He does it out of obligation and that is wearing thread thin. So I make the GRAND decision to walk outside in my slippers and no coat. Yep. It's 11 degrees with snow everywhere. I lasted one cig and went back in and down to my chamber. What's next? I'll sit here fiddling on the computer, trying to write my book for the next few hours but won't be able to because I'm so PO'd and then he'll apologize. They mean nothing to me anymore. Heh...we lasted one day together this time. Can you get a new life on Ebay? Men. [SIZE=1](sorry for the vent)[/SIZE] Abbey [/QUOTE]
