My Republican neighbor kicked her kid out and guess where he came?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Friday night in the middle of the night he came over and asked if he could sleep here. I said sure. Sunday he is still here. So I finally asked him what happened. He said he was on a date with a girl, she was driving and she was drunk. He brought her home to give her some coffee and sober her up and his mom got mad at him.

It makes no sense to me. I asked if his mom didn't approve of drinking. He said no, she drinks sometimes. I asked him if she didn't like that particular girl. He said she had never met her before. Oh and this kid is in his mid 20s so he isn't drinking under age.

So am I being taken for a ride here or are Republicans just so strange I will never understand them?

When this kid was in high school his mom found some pot in his room and called the cops. She called me to tell me all about it, since our kids are friends. I guess she thought she had uncovered some neighborhood drug ring. I thought she was nuts. She ended up having to get him an attorney and he went from being a kid who had never been in trouble to a kid with a record. All because she called the cops.

So is this just a crazy Republican or am I not seeing the whole picture here?

1. crazy repuke or not, I can think of another word for her!

on the other hand kid in his mid 20's at home? Maybe it was a last straw kind of thing - is he working or going to school?

3. In this economy I've stopped wondering why kids end up living with their parents into their 20s...

[harmonicon]

13. yep

I moved back home twice in my 20's, and likely will have to again some time in my 30's. I sure as hell don't want to, but it beats being homeless.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. My kids still live at home

My oldest is 30. In this economy, it's pretty hard to survive on your own when you are young.

[Kali]

12. Didn't mean that it was bad.

Two of mine are home as well and the oldest is half the time too. Just trying to look at the possibilities for why she would do that. Sounds like she is just a bitch, though.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. My son said he thinks she wants him to move out

He said she is really mean and unreasonable.

[LisaL]

21. Is he working? Doing something? He is in his twenties, is it

that unreasonable to want him out of the house?

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Yes he has a job

[LisaL]

28. Then why doesn't he get his own place?

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Probably can't afford it

My kid works 2 jobs and is saving up for the deposit, etc. Most of his friends still live at home too. Times are tough for these kids. It isn't as easy to live on your own as it was when we were that age.

7. our 23 yr old daughter lives at home

and just got laid off...

2. I'd guess crazy republican.

My ex's fundie mom was like that... somehow in her mind the two of us being together at night-time was evil, whereas she didn't care where we snuck off to during the day. I think its because in their overly-conservative minds, sex is something inside the bedroom and at night. So anytime we were together such a state, that means sex. Even if it ws obvious that we weren't doing it right then. But if we were elsewhere, no problem.

So I'm guessing that in her mind, nighttime + tipsy girl = sex. Even though he was doing the right thing and wasn't dragging her to the bedroom.

:crazy:





... yeah, so we did it in the back seat of her mom's car.

Twice. :P

[flvegan]

4. That's it? She kicked him out for that?

FFS, he was being a good person keeping her from driving anywhere else, if that story is true. My mom would be proud of me.

Idiots.

Good for you taking him in. :thumbsup:

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Well that is HIS story anyway

And I know his mom and she is nuts. So I believed him.

I could never turn a kid away who needs a place to sleep. That's just wrong.

[flvegan]

11. You're a good person for that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Thank you

[LisaL]

20. According to the OP, he was giving her coffee to sober her up.

By the way read this. Giving coffee to someone who is drunk is not going to sober that person up, contrary to popular belief.

26. Right!

You just get a wide-awake drunk! 'Sobering' process requires time.

I was in car with friend, after a party; I couldn't drive his car, and told him that he must not; so I sat there (cold) for 2-3 hours, while he slept it off!!!

[Roon]

8. My friends ex-fundi wife

was at friend's new house and his new boyfriend. (He divorced her because he was gay). Anyway she found their pot stash and dialed 9-11...The cops wouldn't even come out.

[Left Is Write]

9. If his story is true, the mother seems unnecessarily harsh.

Whether her being a Republican has anything to do with it, I wouldn't know.

[harmonicon]

10. crazy republican

You sound like my parents. Our house was always the house where the "bad" kids could stay when their parents kicked them out - and my parents were never the "cool parents". They wouldn't allow smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, etc. They're just sympathetic people who understand that kids need a safe place to go and some support when they're going through hard times.

[Lil Missy]

16. Maybe she thought they were going to have sex! *gasp!*

[Mollis]

17. She was driving drunk?

Maybe his mom was upset about that?

[Robeson]

18. She called the cops on her own child over pot in his bedroom?..

...She seriously wanted to see her child do jail time? She ratted her own kid out? That lady is a scumbag, and ain't right in the head.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Yes and I have avoided her ever since

Our kids are friends. But I stay as far away from her as I can. She's insane.

[LisaL]

19. Am I missing something here? You say the girl was driving and

drunk? Could the mother have been upset over potential drunk driving? By the way giving a drunk coffee is not going to help to sober the drunk up.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Maybe, I don't know

Yes I told him the coffee won't work.

[JVS]

22. Maybe she doesn't like him riding around with drunk drivers

[elleng]

27. Maybe she doesn't like him.

29. He should have said they were out protesting family planning clinics

or something like that, and he was giving her coffee because she was so exhausted from the stress!
