Can we have this today? I am nosy.
@hijoi - where are you? I miss you. I hope you did not left us and everything is good with you. Your sister is moving out this weekend, right? whoo hoo!
@eafogel - any update on your brother mental state/condition? I hope he got back on his meds and there is some positive dynamic going on.
@jfresh I saw in some other thread that Olivier started to talk more. Thats great! What is he saying? Veronica said "Mama, look" the other day and I was so happy, my baby finally making 2 words frases.
@missmusic is your house purchase finalized? If so - congrats!
Re: AAA
I got him ticket to a local rock music festival at the Labor Day weekend.
He is going to college starting spring 2015 but for next 8 months he is with us and not planning to do anything. I am nagging him to get some job but he is not very eager to work - he is a bit lazy... And it's not very easy to find a first job.
Anyway, my mom is still having to pay rent on his apartment because they haven't been able to sublet it and he's not paying anything to help support his child. He's alternately talking about moving back in with his wife and moving back into his apartment. He wants to get disability, quit work, get a loan, and go back to school while living in the apartment.
My parents are stretched really tight trying to pay for everything to do with him. They didn't have enough to buy groceries this last week. I gave them some of ours, but I worry because they can't get off his lease until December. And of course his attorney's fees are ongoing. My uncle is stepping in and helping some, so hopefully things will be easier soon, but until then my brother seems totally uncaring about my parents' financial situation. He keeps asking for more money.
Anyway, sorry that turned into a novel. I'm not talking about it with anyone else, so it tend to all come gushing out when I write about it here.
