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.

Here's the thing, Avery is moving in with his grandparents as soon as he gets his licence/car.
He doesn't like living with Jordan anymore than Jordan likes living with him.

I just feel so bad. I never got around to sharing this ....
Avery does not call me by name. Never has. He always just used to say, "Hey".
Shortly after he moved in, I told him that I will no longer answer to "Hey".
He said that he can't call me by name because it doesn't feel right. After a week or two, he finally settled on "Alpha Dog". (I've been called worse.)

After a few too many wobbly pops on New Year's Eve, he confessed that he couldn't call me "Jennifer" or "Jen" because he kind of looks at me like a mom.

Time to have a tough discussion with both of them this evening.

So if Avery will be getting his licence in 3 weeks, isn't that soon enough for Jordan?

Hopefully, and yes, it will have to be good enough.

Was it Jordan's idea for Avery to move in initially? Obviously things have happened since then, but if he asked you to open your home for a friend who has nowhere to go he should understand that's not something you can just take away when the kid still has nowhere to go - for another few weeks.

Ding, ding, ding. That's what I've been saying.

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!

Technically there aren't such things as vegetables... botanically speaking.

So I just realized that I had a not-so-great day at work. We got a truck in today since it didn't come yesterday, which is the day it's normally supposed to come, and I got to go in and help unload it. I was bending over to pick up a box from the ground, and all of a sudden a box came down and hit me right on the head. It knocked my glasses off and put a nice cut on my nose. It's amazing my glasses didn't break, since the box landed right on top of them.

Then I got to deal with a not-so-pleasant customer. He was wondering about a dryer and what the policy is if something breaks on it. I told him our return policy for electronics is 30 days, and outside of that he'd have to go through Kenmore's warranty policy. I then told him that he could purchase a Smart Plan that would be like an extended warranty, where we would replace it if it broke, or give him his money back. But he didn't want to buy one, and he couldn't seem to grasp that outside of 30 days, we had no obligation with the item whatsoever. Then he said, "So either way I'm getting (not-so-family-friend-word)." I just stared at him and repeated exactly what I said before, since I have no way of changing our policy. So then he ended up wanting one, and it said we had two of them in our store, one is the display, and one is in the back somewhere. So we went to check, and it turns out one was sitting in the damages/defectives area, so I had to go back and tell him we actually didn't have one to sell. Then he wanted the display, but we don't sell those unless they're clearance. So then I checked to see if we could order it online. Nope, wasn't available online. Then I said his next best bet would be to check another store about 30 minutes away. When I said that, he motioned with his hand and said, "well look it up." Also, I forgot to mention every other word he said was a swear. So at this point I was already done with him, but I ended up calling the other store anyway. Luckily they had one, and I told them to put it on hold for him. So now he's their problem and not mine. This guy also came in a few days ago and tried to put it on us that his TV that he purchased here a year or so ago has something wrong with it. Not our problem, dude.

But while I was at work I didn't even notice how crappy of a day it was. Maybe I was delusional from the box falling on my head.

I'm sure a camera got it on video. But I have the battle scar to prove it. It looked a lot cooler before I wiped all the extra blood off. It looked like I was tough and got in a fight. Rather than a box falling on me...
