[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 695851, member: 19887"] Just got home from dinner. I could tell the minute I picked him up it was going to be tense. He came out looking greasy and dirty, and maybe stoned. He picked an expensive sushi restaurant so I figured he would clean up a little... Nope. I kinda mentioned did he want to clean up a little... Big mistake. He refused, so I just took a deep breath and drove to the restaurant, cringing... Hoping no one I knew would be there. I'm terrible! I mentioned to him some of my students have heard about their student loan status, as he has applied... Again, mistake.... This turned into another argument about the value of a university education. I couldn't stop myself, I'm a guidance counsellor and it's my area of expertise in terms of admissions, etc... As he mentioned trade school, and I explained he missed the deadlines, and his student loan application was on his going to university.. Ugh My husband ended up mad at me, saying I should leave it alone... So that just made me feel worse. Son then felt bad because he could see it caused a disagreement between us. Dinner ended on a better note.... But why does it always have to be so tense..... I hate it. [/QUOTE]
