It was completely unacceptable. Believe me, he knows. (Young) men don't really have the tools to respectfully draw boundaries. It takes many many many reminders from the women in their lives and it is exhausting and emotional. I was pissed, for sure. In a few months his younger brother gets launched. Hopefully he was paying attention!millvallison: mary allison tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614797353805689894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434343586270371349.post-38402498995458430902013-04-10T12:22:37.012-07:002013-04-10T12:22:37.012-07:00Wow, I would be mighty pissed if my son stood me u...Wow, I would be mighty pissed if my son stood me up like that.

This is adolescent male brain chemistry unfortunately. He paid for the bike trip, and earned an academic scholarship that covered a large chunk of tuition. As for the room, well… he's a woodsman. millvallison: mary allison tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614797353805689894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434343586270371349.post-2849454978508263572013-04-10T10:56:58.267-07:002013-04-10T10:56:58.267-07:00Wow, what a self absorbed slob.

Then again, letting him do whatever he wants in his room, that I feel sure he didn't pay for wouldn't happen in my house. It's alright to be kids, it's not alright to thumb your nose at your family. Who's paying for the trip, the bike, college. Man, reading this made my blood pressure jump.<br />A-ZSandyhttp://oozingoutmyears.blogspot.com/2013/04/insurance-games.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434343586270371349.post-47989720847862620212013-04-10T10:16:58.105-07:002013-04-10T10:16:58.105-07:00*hugging the kiddoes close* No, they won't eve...*hugging the kiddoes close* No, they won't ever grow old. *head shaking* It's a lie, a vicious, ugly lie.
