[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631488, member: 17309"] Yeah...I should have stuck with that. :( You are absolutely right. I made the mistake of taking a second call. He started with: He's bored and thought he'd clean. Was there anything I wanted him to do. I told him to start with his room and all that laundry we got out of his (our) car. It progressed from there. [I]JH has to move and he may never see him again, no one wants to hang out, no one has a car, AS is at work and anyway he lost his license (DWI), blah, blah. Nothing makes him happy and yes he knows it's all his fault, etc. He's afraid he won't get a job at this place tomorrow anyway...he just has a bad feeling.[/I] (God forbid he just go to the factory today.) I offered a lot of, I know's and Uh Huh's and "I'm sorry you are bored. I understand you're frustrated." Then I told him to make brownies because chocolate makes people feel better. :p He said he's just been trying so hard to please us. I said, if it's any consolation, his dad and I have been far less stressed this week because he has been doing so. It was no consolation. LOL We ended with, "Well I guess I'll see you guys in 4 or 5 hours." (sad pouty voice) Maybe tonight we can offer some "family time" that might actually be interesting. He likely won't go for it, but we can offer. I wish he believed in a Higher Power. [/QUOTE]
