As if there wasn't enough going on with my children, tonight Son 2 announced that he was moving in with a couple buddies down in Kearns, about 45 miles from here. Last Friday he quit his job at Midas, claiming he "just wasn't feeling it." Friday night he took off to go party with his friends, on his way out he announced that he didn't expect to be home before Sunday.
Sunday night he calls home to let his mom know that he wasn't going to be home before Monday. This was important because he was supposed to have two job interviews Monday afternoon.
Well, he got home this afternoon, he did not go to the job interviews but instead announced that he wants to move in with his buddies. That would be 4 of them living in a 2 bedroom house. Boy says he has dibs on one of the couches...
So isn't that just wonderful? He says he will find a job in Kearns and help share the costs with his buds, Dennis, Tweak and Goat. He has a bill to settle with the local Snap-On tool guy before he heads out. He also has just one month remaining on the Tracker's insurance before he assumes the full responsibility for that little reality of life.
The spouse is upset and thinks the boy is making a horrible mistake with his young life. He probably is making a mistake but I don't think he's making any big, permanent errors that he won't grow out of in a little while. I think his one decent girlfriend will get pretty tired of the "crash pad" lifestyle mighty quick so maybe she will have enough influence to get him into a better circumstance.
In the mean time, he's going to be a stupid kid, crashing every night on a couch and eating bad food and drinking too hard on the weekends. Its painful for us caring parents nbut there's not much we can do...
