Dear Lord, with the recent activities in my home over the last week, I have become pretty depressed. My household consisted of my fiancé and myself but also my 19 yr old son and part time his 19 yr old girlfriend. My 19 yr old pretty much fended for himself- he has been employed since he was a jr in high school... So after his graduation he had come to both Marc and I and told us that he was wanting to move out and in with some friends. We told him that if that was truly what he wanted to do that was fine - and if he need to come back to momma's nest that he was always welcome as long as he abided by a few rules- well he changed his mind which was a relief to me. and he also agreed that after he graduated that he would be responsible for paying for rent on his room( which we agreed would be $200.00 per month) well the rules that we put in place were not really rules they were simply being courteous to Marc and I. Since he was fending for himself as far as food went the money was strictly for the room and water and electricity. Marc would ask if they wanted to eat on occasion however the majority of the time it was a no from them. Well then it began to be an issue when Marc would go to cook a meal and ingredients were gone that he knew for sure that we had purchased - so we deducted that they would wait til I was at work and Marc was asleep and they would eat whatever. So marc threw a fit and the kids left that night and the next day came back for the rest of their clothes, so my son has put me on his black-ball list and refuses to go to my 96yr old grandfathers to celebrate thanksgiving( I totally understand that he is pissed and blames both Marc for "blowing things out of proportion" but the fact is that this was not the first time that they had to have a conversation regarding replacing the things in the house that everyone used like TP, toiletries, laundry soap etc) the boy I assume found it to much of an inconvience- but I would think that Thanksgiving he would want to be with family- either my side or his fathers side of the family. So now I will have to answer questions from my family as to where he is for thanksgiving) I hope that he changes his mind and brings himself and the girlfriend to celebrate with us. I ask that you shine that ray of sun on him and encourage him to come to dinner at grandpa's or to go to his fathers dad's because both my grandpa n his grandpa on his dad's side are in poor health and up in ages amen
