That's what my daughter said to me Sunday night in anger because I told her to reschedule her meeting up with a guy friend from Orlando. She got so mad at me she was in the almost crying stage! She got a couple of bags and actually started laying out her clothes on what she was taking with her. Now where was she going to go, I don't know maybe to my son's house or maybe with this guy from Orlando that she has NEVER meet in person before.... I was so disappointed in her for pulling the "Moving Out" card. I know she is at that stage in life when things should be happening for her but right now they are not. She STILL needs to practice driving and get her drivers license, then of course get a job. As I have said before she will be floored what it will be like to work, the girl doesn't clean her room, she doesn't cook, she doesn't do anything to help around the house at all. The only thing she does do is assist me with feeding the horses which takes 15 minutes tops. But enough about all that let's get back to the "Moving Out" topic. I think this is an issue a lot of kids are facing now where they play these online games with people who become their "friends" and they think they know them but in reality they are complete strangers. I tell you I was worried about the whole issue of this guy coming up to see her especially when I had to work and she would be here alone with him. To shorten up a long night of jangled nervous and going back and forth at each other we came to the conclusion that my husband would be here to keep an eye on things (of course never mind my husband NEEDS to find a JOB which is a lot more important that watching over these two but so be it). Now I get along with ALL kinds of people, I can find things to talk about on all issues and I don't like to judge anyone but when I saw this guy I was taken aback and not in a good way.
Here he is with my daughter (my husband took the picture)
My husband had a chance to talk to the fellow for awhile and thought he was an okay guy. He said he was pleasant, respectful, soft spoken. He also has a job as a welder, his own car, & lives on his own with two of his friends. My husband LIKED him - HELLO!
The first thing I saw was the tats! It makes me so sad seeing such young people all inked up. What was cool at the moment will look terrible as you age. My Dad had tattoos on his arms & chest and he always said he wished he hadn't gotten them but it was the thing to do while in the navy. I will be honest with you, I was not the nicest while talking to the young man. I like to see some ones eyes while talking to them and his hair was almost covering them which I did not like at all. He was very nice to me and even brought me CANDY can you imagine. He knows how to get on a women good side. I didn't give the boy a chance really and he picked up on it, he even asked my daughter "Your mother hates me, doesn't she"? I am sad now looking back on my behavior! The fellow took my daughter out to dinner, than a movie. He also opened doors for her and was a gentleman which she was very impressed with. So all in all the fellow turned out to be okay, not sure if he will be seeing her again but I really must not judge so quickly!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
