Tonight I arrived home from work around nine o'clock. My younger children announced that we have someone else moving into our house. My husband just kept talking about some other random topic. The kids start bringing fun stuff up from the basement that this new child has moved in. I keep looking at my husband as if to ask "what in the world is going on?". My husband just kept rambling on A few minutes into this conversation my two oldest sons came walking through with a dresser and a new teenager. The new teenager introduced himself and then they all went down into the basement. My husband just picked up where he left off as though the new boy had never been in the room. I felt like i was in the twilight zone. I finally just quietly asked "Umm...Don, what is going on?". His response was something like "what do you mean?".
Evidently, this boy has been kicked out of his house. I don't even know why. I will find out in a few minutes. This is strange...right? He can't be more than sixteen years old. I don't want him out on the streets, but geez...
OK, that was Thursday so how has it been since then. Is he still there, how is your husband doing with it?
ReplyDeleteIt's nice of your family to open your home this teen. I hope he is able to reconcile with his parents and move back home.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting story! I'm sure you feel caught in a difficult situation. Is he still there? Hopefully you are adjusting to having another kid at your house.
ReplyDeleteYes, Natalie he's still here. He's a great kid. I feel really badly for him. I think graduation is this weekend and his parents have cut him off.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I am also really hoping things get worked out with his family. I would hate for them to miss out on on all of the great stuff he has going on. More than that though...he needs to have them.
That is rather strange. Someone needs to find out why he is not at home with his own parents because we all know how teenagers are they feel as if the whole world is coming to an end if they can't do what they want to even though what they WANT to do is not what they NEED to do!!!! Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a strange situation. I understand where you coming from though... he is not your responsiblity but at the same time you don't want to feel bad if he is out on the streets. Man my kids are gettting up in age and I don't look forward to the upcoming adventures that I know they are going to take me through. Well I hope you get to the bottom of things because the very reason he might have gotten kicked out of his home may be why he should not be in yours!
