MY son has said before he is joining the army and sat and played games in my home and did not look for work because he was going to the service and then he did not pass the test to the Air Force so I think my son says whatever to buy time. He was working and going to school part time.......part time school and part time work, That is what his wife wanted.........but now that she has to leave I guess he is giving up on school but he went for her not for himself and when we do things for others and we are not really into it then it does not last.........he makes stupid decisions and he did what she wanted but she is having to move so..........He did ask me to come back to his city and stay a week before the baby and his wife move away...........I would love to go back to see them but they kicked me out and it costs a lot of money to travel there and do things and since she has not seem me in over three months when he skyped me with her a few days ago she did not know me and wanted to be with her mother......so it would take a few days for her to warm up to me and then it would be time for me to go home and then never see her again..........I don't think my emotional heart could handle staying a week, her getting to know me again and then leaving and not see her anymore. So I wrote to my son and told him I could not afford to come and that it would break my heart to know I would come home and not see her again. So I am not going.

Me and his dad shared raising him.........I had full custody all the time. My former husband and I took care of him by sharing him...........I never gave my son to his dad full time.

Some people do say 'whatever' just to buy time, money, etc. I've seen and heard it many times. They often will say whatever they can get away (with). Just from my observations in my life.

Well, RRR, you and his dad and his step mom have done more than enough trying to help them in the past several years. Really, it's about all folks can do without bringing yourself/themselves down, financially and otherwise.

Also, I meant to say this before, but I'm one of the folks who looks forward to your updates, your viewpoints, your questions about products, etc.

Just a suggestion. Would your son sign up for the National Guard? It's boot camp and not easy but would than help with his education. College is not for everyone, maybe a trade might be better.

Sometimes you have to detach from people,even relatives, to have peace in your life. It doesn't mean you don't love them or don't want to see them, you just focus on your life and they focus on theirs.

I have wanted my son to go into a trade since he got out of highschool.........but he did not want to do that.........and as for the national guard I think it would be good for him but he did not past the test..........well one test he did not pass.......I don't think he wants to go into the service but it would teach him things and I think he would come back a better more responsible person...........
