Stressed Out Weekend

Jul 16, 2007 08:07

This weekend was suppose to be relaxing and happy because my sister and her family was coming down from Pennsylvania for the first time in over twenty years to stay at my brother's house. We went to my brother's for a picnic Saturday afternoon. My son and his daughter came down later to see my sister. (My sister had never seen my granddaughter) ( Read more... )

Your son definitely needs to get you paid back and stop avoiding you, giving you excuses instead. Sounds like between him and his gf there's a definite clear lack of communication...they need to work on that. Yes, you are only human and I don't blame you for leaving the nasty voice message on his phone either!

The family should have rested once they got there from their trip. I'm sorry that you all didn't get to visit with them at the picnic.

I have already left my son a message with an apology.

They will eventually get it together. By the way-Great icon!!!! Is it your car?

Yeah, that all sucked. Better days ahead hopefully!

I left Josh a message saying I was sorry right after I apologized to you.

Well, I'm glad you two made up but borrowing and loaning money seems to be a bad idea....there are always warnings about that sort of thing. I guess its either give it away or not give it at all.

Every day gets better than the last.

Ahh the trials and tribulations of raising adults. You could go on Dr Phil... !

Isn't he the national doctor of New Zealand?

Something in me thinks that Son #2 will come back around sooner than later.

Yes, we patched things up last night and he and my grand daughter are coming over for dinner tonight. Or so he says. :)

That does sound very stressful. I hope you've had some good news since this post.

I have loaned my daughter money a couple of times, when I was working, and she never paid me back. She is now paying for my cell phone bill to help pay for the debt she owes, but there is still other debt she hasn't paid me back. I'm not loaning her any money any more. She pays her father back, but not me, and I need the money.

My opinion on that debt is to tell son #2 you are canceling all debt owed as a gift for his birthday, Christmas or whatever, but in the future there will be no loans.

Gee, I would hate to be in the position you are with #1 son and girlfriend, which like you said is right in the middle.

I hope things work out for the family the way you would like them to.

I'm not worrying about the money. It's the fact that he lies to me to get it.

denimblues July 17 2007, 16:05:26 UTC

I know you're not really worried about the money. I wonder if he has good intentions when he does borrow the money to pay it back, but there are other things that come up and get in the way. I think that is what happens with my daughter when she borrows money.
