Valhalla Golf - Rickie Fowler's trousers

JenniferS

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I am so confused and don't know what to do ....

Son #2 is on the verge of a meltdown because Adopted Son is still living here. He says our obligation is to him, we gave birth to HIM, yadda, yadda. (See what I did there?)

AS could move in with his grandparents, but aside from Son #2, he loves living here. It's the first time he has ever felt part of a real family. And now, I might have to suggest he leave. He has been rejected so many times, by so many, that I am loathe to add to his emotional distress.

Things however, are going to get really nasty if he stays. Son #2 is very depressed and stressed that AS is still here, being treated like a member of the family. I've been given a one week deadline to turf AS. (I scoff at the deadline, but recognize that Son #2 is going to lose it, big time, shortly.)

What to do? What to do?

Wow - you got that from her posts? I must have missed something.

:p
Let's detour from the word "goo", it's starting to feel weird.
I will rephrase and say, I am averse to any and all thick, overly sweet, pseudo-fruit concoctions, purporting to be jam or fruit filling.
So yeah, I don't like fruit goo.
Tomatoes are, technically, a fruit!

Tell whichever one treats you like carp to get over it or find somewhere else to live.

I'll try to stop saying goo then. I just used goo in that last sentence though, sorry. Shoot I just said goo again. I don't think I can stop saying goo now. Goo.

Who gave you this deadline? A person paying rent to liove in your home?
Son #2 (this is getting old - his name is Jordan) has issued the deadline.
Once he pays off his fairly substantial debt to me, he will be paying us $100/week for room and board, laundry, taxi services ....

I just don't know what to do. Jordan is truly going to flip his lid if AS (Avery) stays. He's been on the edge for a couple of weeks now.
Avery, on the other hand, has done nothing to deserve to be turfed.
Thank God, these two never moved into that apartment!

When I drive them to work, and pick them up, they don't exchange a single word. It's pretty much a 10 minute JenniferS monologue - which it would be even if they weren't in the car. :hilarious:

Avery does not pay rent either. He is saving half of his paycheque every week to buy a car. I have paid for him to have a handful of driving lessons, and he hopefully will have his proper licence (not just his learner's permit) within 3 weeks.

I know it's easy for we who are not in your situation to judge. But it seems to me that maybe Jordan needs a little taste of what it's like to be Avery. I can't imagine either of my kids giving me an ultimatum like that without suffering the consequences of being that disrespectful.

Oh and the hits just keep on coming.
Just got off the phone with my insurance agent.

Gore Mutual (with whom I've been insured since 1990) will not renew my policy unless Son #1 is excluded.
His second ticket has taken him out of their insurability realm.

UGH! Remind me, please - why did I have kids?

Hey @JenniferS - are you a fan of the GOO GOO Dolls?
Long story, only funny to Hubby and I; but I actually call them the 600 600 Dolls, because I misread the print on the t.v. ad for their New Year's Eve appearance at Niagara Falls a number of years ago.

Conversely, the punchline to a really lame joke is "Pontiac GOO-LE", and I was the only one who got it.
