Neighbor problem

Yeah, those trees are cute when they don't branch.

 

That’s the hunting property.

 

#greatsongtitles for a thousand, Alex.

 

Wondering how things are going for the home stretch of high school for this kid.

 

I hope he's celebrated and celebrating.

 

The kid is fine. He’s used to living on his own now. We feed him every so often. But he’s enjoying the privacy when his girlfriend comes over most evenings.

His Dad got married in March. He hasn’t missed any of the son’s final high school baseball games or Senior Sunday at church. His stepmom hasn’t shown up to any.

The house is for sale. Dad is increasingly desperate to sell. Come June 1, he is moving the son into an apartment. He’s agreed to pay rent for three months, but then the kid is on his own. The kid thinks he can make ends meet working as an apprentice at a machine shop. I’ve been telling him he needs to write down a budget and stick to it. His Dad has been encouraging him to get a 2BR with a golf course view instead of a 1BR without a view for an extra $100 per month. The kid is going to be cutting it close each month as it is - without spending extra on a view he won't look at.

 

None of this is funny and is borderline tragic, but this line made me snicker. It reminds me of a house plant. Yeah, we water it every so often.

 

LOL. Yeah, it does.

 

Late to this thread, but this kid has siblings… are they helping point the kids toes in the right direction?
