What's to keep these young 'uns outta your sheeeet? Wonder how many people have a key? I think I'd have to have a li'l talk with my landlord 'bout that.

Sorry so long; I'm not known for my brevity.

I wondered that, too. I talked to the man of the house today and told him what was going on. (Not a landlord; I was housesitting.) I have a feeling that he's gonna have a little talk with his friends about it and/or change the locks...

That was a pretty funny story without all the ethics and morality. But if I were you I would've coughed mono all over em, drank out of their cups, hung around in the kitchen with em spreading the mono germs with glee until they left! But that's just me.

NoHall, your story is quite awful It seems as if this parent is more concerned with her child being happy than responsible.

Bad as it is, I see it quite often. As a teacher, I am amazed at how many parents make excuses for their child's actions. It seems to happen more frequently now than in previous years. Parents do not want their child to "suffer" or "be punished". While I think a child's self-esteem is important, consistent discipline is valuable. Life is filled with disappointments, and people who can handle set backs are able to suceed. I worry that in the future there will be a larger than normal group of irresponsible people. Maybe the tides will change.
