MY son is 19 today( the one who, a few weeks back told us that he wanted to get his girlfriend pregnant). Well, I can't get hold of him today, at all, even to wish him a Happy Birthday. He went over to HERS yesterday, knowing full well that he was on shift that night (he works 40/50 hours a week, night shift).
I know he didn't go into work last night at all and, obviously, stayed with her. What makes me so cross thoughts that he hasn't paid any "rent" to us for 3 months now, spending all his money on her, drink etc...
I have my own career to think about, I help my OH on the farm and I just don't need this stress/hassle from him.
He keeps telling me he's 18/19 and can what he likes but not under my bl00dy roof he can't. Does he expect me/my OH to "keep" him if he loses his job as he has done this before, not turned up for a shift, as he will be very disappointed if he thinks we will.
I have spoken to my Mother about this, this morning and she has suggested that if he loses his job is to kick him out and let him stay with the girlfriend and her family as he's always there anyway.
Then he has the temerity to get verbally abusive toward me and my OH when we try and give him advice ( or, in his words, telling him what to do) which he then throws back at me, I can do what I like....well, son, yes you can just not in this house!
Turning to LieInKing, the Butler, with a dismissive wave of the regal hand, "Give them the 13th gold bedroom up in the Tower, Butler, my good man please. We can't afford to disturb Philip, can we?"
1st. Get yer own motor
2nd if you don't have one, do not presume it's ok to use parents vehicle.
3rd. Do not do it on a hill-side, the view might be nice but they can also see you.
4th. Avoid dark roads, the local bobby walking the beat will annoy you.
Calm down Mother, the lad is only doing what lots of 19yr olds do flashing the cash getting a tattoo, tell him he is over 18 and can legally do what he likes with his money after he has paid his rent to you first.
Nox ,he would be treated as an adult f he behaved like one expecting treats and not fulfilling obligations and treating his mum as a door mat is not adult behavior.He needs a good kick up the reality checker.
